Chanel Tentation 541 Le Vernis is a striking deep fuschia-red shimmer. It's the pinker sister to last holiday's Rouge Carat 587 (reviewed here). I thought I would have something similar but I don't. It has enough dark red shimmer to prevent it from looking too neon or cheap. I think it's appropriate for year round. The texture is smooth and pigment rich with just 2 thin coats. If Chanel had made Attraction in the same finish I would have loved it as well. In the sunlight it glows. I love that the shimmer is visible on the nail, not just in the bottle.
In looking through my collection I found that I don't have very many dark pink shimmers. This one is a nice addition to fill in the gap. Comparisons below to a few other Chanel shades like Rouge Carat, Pulsion and Rose Exhuberant.
Swatches of a few more, including Laura Mercier's Luscious and Flamingo:
Overall: love.
I love these types of shades in the summer for my toes! I'm adding it to my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome post!
This is a gorgeous colour put it on my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a similar colour by YSL? One that's been in production for decades. Can't remember the name of it! It's very pretty and summery!
ReplyDeleteI really like all these lively shades. I especially like how Tentation has a bit of red in it, pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour and photography!
ReplyDeleteoooh lovely colours! :) makes me think of summer....
ReplyDeleteSuper bubbly color. I like this pink.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the colour I hoped Rouge Carat would be.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty! This one was my fave from this collection. I have a weakness for these types of shades :)
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelievably gorgeous!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Sabrina you need to get onto Pinterest. I'm sure a ton of people would love to follow you. You have such wonderful taste!
ReplyDeleteHate fuscia even if it is Chanel. I cannot imagine that this shade will catch on. If you're young, you look frumpy and if you're middle aged, fuscia makes you look old.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of OPI It's All Greek To Me - - - my favorite color for toenails EVER! Thanks for swatching!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of this polish and the brand also stands for very standard products,it pays to buy good products for a long term use.
