Paparazzi by Chanel

As I previously mentioned when I got Starlet from the Avant Première de Chanel Collection for Spring 2013, I knew I would also have to get Paparazzi...and here it is :) It is just such a gorgeous colour, a bronzy burgundy with subtle golden shimmer. This is probably my favourite shade in this collection, a great classic shade that goes with everything, but still has that little something extra.

Fancy nails

I'm not normally big on doing anything but one colour on my nails and I prefer solid shades, but this might also partly be due to my total lack of skills when it comes to doing any type of "nail art" :) But after getting the Sally Hansen Gem crush in the shade 04 Blingtastic in one of MyBeautyBox I kept wanting to live a little and try it with my Blue Rebel by Chanel, so recently I (finally) took the time to give it a go! 

I did one coat of Blue Rebel followed by one coat of Blingtastic and I think it turned out pretty good :) It is very shiny, but somehow still "subtle" because of the dark blue. I know that this by no means qualifies as "nail art", but it is about as fancy as I can get :D

Starlet by Chanel

It seems to be all about nails these days, but with the Chanel Avant Première de Chanel Collection for Spring 2013 in the stores now how could it not. The collection consists of these four colours and from what I hear the shade Starlet will be limited edition, the other 3 will be included in the permanent range:

I tried to contain myself, so I just got Starlet seeing as it was the one I liked the most and the one that is limited edition, so I wanted to get it while I still could. It is such a pretty pink/peach shade with subtle gold shimmer. Absolutely perfect for spring and I'm already loving it :) I also already know that I will have to get Paparazzi at some point. It is an amazing burgundy colour, also with shimmer, so pretty! I really do love my reds, so we shall see if I can withstand the urge to also get Cinéma :D  The last one, Provocation, is a deep plum and not really a shade I typically go for, so I that one I shall be giving a miss...but 3 out of 4 isn't bad :)

Malice by Chanel

This year Chanel's limited edition Holiday colour was the amazing Malice. A deep and dark red with ruby shimmer, a must-have as always. Unfortunately I was too slow and didn't get my hands on one before they completely sold out here in Copenhagen :( My niece was lucky and got one when she was in Paris recently, so she took pity on me and let me try it on. I'm not sure that was a good idea, as I am now even more disappointed I didn't get it #Firstworldproblems

Rose Confidentiel by Chanel

Rose Confidentiel is one of my all-time favourite colours from Chanel. Such a pretty dusty rose that is prefect for this time of year. I love bringing out old colours for the different seasons and getting to fall in love with them all over again :)

Blue Rebel by Chanel

So I am obviously very late to the Les Jeans de Chanel party. The collection inspired by blue jeans was initially launched as a limited edition collection for Fashion's Night Out 2011, I am not entirely sure when the 3 colours became available here in DK, but in any case I was not really all that impressed and didn't buy any of them. Fast forward to my recent trip to NY where my sister-in-law bought Blue Rebel and I got to see this amazing petrol blue colour on the nails and knew I had to have it. Lucky for me our local department store still had it as I wasn't smart enough to buy it in NY. I am not sure if the colours are now part of the permanent collection or if they will just keep selling them till stock runs out.

 

It is a much darker and deeper petrol blue than the picture shows.

Frenzy by Chanel

When I first saw the new Chanel collection online I was convinced that Frenzy was going to be my signature colour this autumn and winter. However after trying it on I have to say this will not be the case. First of all the colour is a soft beige and not light grey like I initially thought, secondly the colour just looks off on me somehow. I was luckily my niece let me try on hers before I actual bought it myself. On the picture below I am wearing two coats and it almost look like I have nothing on. So this is one Chanel colour I shall be giving a miss this season :)

Delicatesse by Chanel

I just returned from an amazing week in New York. Such a fantastic city and the shopping there is truely any shopaholics dream :) While I was there I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the limitid edition Chanel colours made for this years Fashion Night Out. I think the colour is great and prefect for autumn/winter.

Vertigo by Chanel

Well I finally got my hands on at least one of the new colours from Chanel. I really wanted the light grey in the collection called Frenzy, but they didn't have that one. So to soften the blow I obviously had to get Vertigo :) I guess it does look a little bit like Stormy Weather but one can never have too many colours to choose from and even though this one looks charcoal grey in the picture it does have a slight brown undertone. In any case it is still an amazing colour and absolutely fantastic for autumn.

We're almost there

Only about 2 weeks till the new Chanel colours hit the stores. So to pass the time we shall enjoy Ming 471, that my mum got a local flea market for a steal. I have not been able to find it in any stores, nor is it listed on the Chanel website, so am not sure if this was a limited edition or just not released in Europe, so for now I sneak on a coat or two whenever my mum isn't looking :)

While we wait...

For the 3 new fantastic autumn nail colours from Chanel, which should hit stores in DK around Aug 26th, we shall take a minute to enjoy April 533.

Orange for summer

I have never been a fan of orange, but this all changed when Chanel came out with this lovely lovely must-have nail varnish this summer - Holiday 617. Oh how I adore this colour!
It has made me go a tiny bit orange-overboard and I am now trying to stop buying anymore clothing/shoes/bags/etc in this fab colour..but I'm finding it hard...it's just so preeetty :)
