Chanel: Peridot & Graphite Nail Polish

August babes  – make sure you purchase Peridot.  There used to be a time when I found the yellow green color of my birth month disappointing (why couldn’t it be diamond? or pink? or pearl? or or or) but over time I have grown to love this interesting stone, and I’m loving it as a Chanel polish.  Peridot is true to name  and utterly fantastic on the nails, although I would probably have this more in the vicinity of toes.  This lineup is a handclapper. 

Graphite is also a stunner.  It is sometimes silvery, sometimes leadish.  Oddly, it sometimes has a green cast.  It takes normal silver or grey and pushes it into something mesmerizing.

Missing swatch #3 but it was the odd duck out.  A pretty tan with a hint of green/blues, it was a dull version of OPI holo Design.

The Chanel formulation for Peridot and Graphite is easy, smooth, and it is even possible to get away with just one coat.  Enjoy these summer sparklers!
