Chanel in #657 Azuré Comparisons

Left to right: Illamasqua in Strike, Chanel in #657 Azuré, China Glaze in Deviantly Daring, Chanel in #657 Azuré

I've done some comparisons of Chanel in #657 Azuré for those of you who are curious. On my nails, I compared Illamasqua in Strike and China Glaze in Deviantly Daring. I also took pictures of additional similar swatch sticks: Barielle in Decadence, Wet n Wild in Caribbean Frost, Orly in Bailamos, Finger Paints in Turquoise Tile, and Rimmel in #340 Marine Blue. The only other duochrome in these comparisons is Deviantly Daring. At the bottom of the post I have links to comparisons with Dior in Samba, Essie in Trophy Wife, and Sephora by OPI in Mermaid to Order.

My fingers are wearing Chanel in #657 Azuré on index and ring finger, China Glaze in Deviantly Daring on middle finger, and Illamasqua in Strike on pinky. Deviantly Daring is the closest of the polishes I own. It has a shimmer finish rather than a metallic finish and it is darker with less duochrome - Azuré shows sky blue, indigo and at times at the very edges, violet, whereas Deviantly Daring really only shows indigo and less strongly and frequently. However, this is a fairly good alternative if you don't mind it not being a dupe. Illamasqua in Strike looks close at times, but since it is not a duochrome at other times it looks very different. It's a turquoise (rather than teal like Azuré and Deviantly Daring) metallic with gold shimmer. This is 3 coats of each polish, and I didn't have application problems with any of them.

Chanel in #657 Azuré

Indirect natural light

I have too many pictures of this polish to share with you! It is Chanel in #657 Azuré. Azuré is part of the Summer 2013 "L'Été Papillon de Chanel" collection. "Papillon" is French for butterfly, and Azuré and the other colors in this collection encapsulate that theme in gorgeous fashion. It is still available, but is limited-edition, so grab it while you can.

Chanel describes Azuré as "metallic blue green," which is accurate, but not very descriptive. It is a foil metallic duochrome with a light-medium teal green base. It shifts to sky blue, indigo, and at times at the very edges, violet. In contrast to holographic polishes, the duochrome of Azuré is really at its fullest when out of full sunlight. The shift in this is not as strong as say, the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms, but it is a strong shift - it is stronger than China Glaze in Deviantly Daring (which is close, but not a dupe - I will have a comparison post up later this week).

The formula is great - flows nicely, goes where placed, and spreads easily. I used 3 thin coats to build up depth. It does show some brushstrokes, but I don't really mind that with these foil metallic polishes, whereas I don't like it with pearly or frosty polishes. My mani doesn't have brushstrokes, because I used the sponge technique on my last coat to see if it would intensify the duochrome (I don't think it did). I also tried Azuré layered over 4 thin coats of Nars in Zulu (an almost-black forest green jelly) to see if that would make the shift more prominent; it did make the polish a little deeper and possibly gave it slightly more indigo shift, but I don't think it was very noticeable. So, in conclusion to that experimentation, I would say that you really don't need to fuss with Azuré at all to get the full effect of the duochrome - apply as is, and you should be good to go! You really don't have to play around to see the shift, but it is hard to capture fully in pictures, which is why some pictures are at weird angles. I did distance pictures with my dog Henry to give you a good indication of how the shift presents in real life. Also check out my comparison post (linked above) for additional pictures of the impressive shift.

Worn May 11 - present, 2012.

Also! An update on my leg: I tore the gastrocnemius (calf) muscle. :( I am on crutches but walking supporting about 90% of my weight on that leg, and I'm starting physical therapy next week. It already feels significantly better, and my physician says that I should be recovered in three to four weeks. Although this is a pain, it's seriously way better than I imagined - I was hearing all kinds of horror stories from people. I will also say that I found people cannot stop themselves from commenting thoughtlessly when you have an injury! It made me relate to all the pregnant women horror stories you hear, with the endless opinions and touching. I had to go in to work (my second job is at a fast-casual restaurant), and one of my co-workers kept telling me I was lucky that I got to sit in a chair at the cash register (which was very uncomfortable, as my calf and quad where unsupported, so gravity was pulling down on the tear). I had about five people tell me that I must have overstretched (two of these people are extremely obese, and I'm sorry to jump to conclusions, but I doubt their expert knowledge in regards to exercise). One of our regular customers, who comes to the counter to get refills at least three times-a-day (and who really likes me), told me I needed to sack up and get on my feet. People just had to tell me to take ibuprofen and ice it, and that I should wrap it or get a brace or just push through it. Dudes, thank you for your concern, but please believe I am doing what I can to make this feel better. Trust. But, no more shooting pains, so I am truly grateful!

China Glaze in Party Hearty over Essie in Pure Pearlfection over OPI in Don't Touch My Tutu!

Indirect natural light

We are finally done with holiday manis! For Christmas, I chose to wear a glitter gradient with China Glaze in Party Hearty over Essie in Pure Pearlfection over OPI in Don't Touch My Tutu! This mani was inspired by these two designs: a MUA post and The Nail Network picture, and you can see my version is infinitely inferior, although I was still fairly happy with it (I like how the original design has the glitter kept closer to the cuticles).

Party Hearty was released with the Holiday 2010 "'Tis the Season to Be Naughty and Nice" collection. I have to say, I prefer the simplicity of this mix to Lynnderella's more complex versions. Pure Pearlfection was released with the Holiday 2011 "Luxeffects" collection. Don't Touch My Tutu was released with the Spring 2012 "NYC Ballet" Soft Shades collection.

Since I was using a sheerer polish as my base color, I used Nail Tek Foundation II, which is a ridge-filling base coat that dries matte and gives a slight milkiness over the nail. I used 4 thin coats of Don't Touch My Tutu! This is a sheer formula, but it's not streaky, and it builds well with no cuticle-pull - much nicer than Essie in Marshmallow (the Pro-Wide brush helps with this as well). It's a soft not stark white.

I added 1 thin coat of Pure Pearlfection starting at the cuticle line up to about two-thirds of the nail. This is a layering polish made up of fine white/silver shimmer flakes in a clear base. There is also green and purple shimmer, but it really only shows over dark colors at certain angles. Pure Pearlfection is pretty dense, but I don't think you could ever get it to cover up visible nail line.

To top off this mani, I added 2 coats of China Glaze in Party Hearty. Party Hearty is made up of large red hexagonal glitter with more densely packed medium green hexagonal glitter and small white-gold hexagonal glitter in a clear base. The gold glitter is quite neutral - at different angles it appears silver. Party Hearty does sink in it's suspension base over time, but it's really easy to shake it up, no need to stir it or leave it upside-down. The formula is pretty thick. Because of the shimmer and smaller glitter on my nail you can't tell unless you look very closely, but Party Hearty bubbled quite badly on me. Next time, I will thin it before using it. It does require some placement of the red glitters.

I used 2 coats of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite to finish this off. Surprisingly, it wasn't super thick on the nail.

Worn December 25 - 31, 2012.

I just have to vent a little as well. Last week was horrible for me. First, I spilled China Glaze in Gussied Up Green on my carpet. I got it out (a combination of Sparkle and acetone), but it took a couple days and a lot of time. Two days later, I went to get my hair cut (for graduation), and my stylist cut off about 3 extra inches even though I had brought her about 20 pictures of what I wanted and discussed it with her extensively before-hand. I am not fussy at all about my hair, so this was kind of egregious, even though the cut itself is not ugly (it's "cute," which is the one adjective I told her I didn't want!). Then, on Sunday, even though I am so busy with school, I made myself be "good" and go for a run, and afterwards, when I was stretching (and after about 5 minutes too, so it wasn't like I suddenly did something), I heard a big "pop" and pain shot through from near the top of my calf to about mid hamstring. I can put weight on the ball of my foot or my heel, but I can't bear weight on my whole foot (the arch) or I the pain comes screaming back, so I can't imagine I'll be able to run anytime soon. I'm horrible at crutches, but the last few days I've been hobbling around without them, and now my ankle and knee hurt from the odd weight distribution, so I've got to start using them. I have been running for years (through knee problems and routine shin splints), and I wasn't doing a new stretch or anything, so this was shocking, scary, and really disheartening. It's not feeling much better, but my boss won't let me take off any more work (even though my job has me running around and on my feet the whole time), so I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm going to the doctor on Friday, and hopefully I will be able to get a note to get some time off, but if you guys will wish me a speedy recovery I would really appreciate it!

Deborah Lippmann in Razzle Dazzle

Direct sunlight - sunset

Right before Christmas I wore Deborah Lippmann in Razzle Dazzle. Razzle Dazzle was released with the Fall 2010 "All That Jazz" trio. Lippmann describes this color as "darkened raspberry sizzle (glitter)," which apart from the descriptive flourish is pretty accurate. It's a dark, slightly blackened berry jelly base (a bit more pink than purple) filled with small magenta glitter. Deceptively simple composition, but it's really gorgeous.

I used 3 thin coats; they are all necessary for full opacity. The formula is really nice - not too thick and spreads well. I can't remember how many coats of Gelous I used, but I think it was just 1, plus 1 coat of Seche Vite.

I graduate from college on the 25, so I have a bunch of final projects due soon. I will try to keep posting, but if I disappear it's only temporary. I've been taking pictures of Chanel in #657 Azuré and #667 Bel Argus, including comparisons, and I will try to get those up as soon as possible!

Lynnderella in Happy Holo-Daze! over OPI in GoldenEye

Direct sunlight

I ended up topping OPI in GoldenEye with Lynnderella in Happy Holo-Daze! Happy Holo-Daze! was released with the Holiday 2011 "Funny Money and Holiday Houseguests" collection. Lynn describes it as "a clear base with green and red squares and hexagons, red, green, silver and gold holographic microglitter." On my nails I found red and green square glitter in extra large and large sizes, holographic hexagonal glitter in extra large and large sizes, large gold, red, and green hexagonal glitter, small red and green hexagonal glitter, and red and green bar glitter, and holographic microglitter. On my ring finger there's also an extra fat red bar glitter, but I don't know if it's a weirdly cut square glitter or what. This is a very festive glitter and it's a nice option to have, but I do like the relative simplicity of China Glaze in Party Hearty better.

Haha, looking at these pictures I'm getting nostalgic for my summer cuticles - look how moisturized they are!

I can't remember whether I used 1 or 2 coats of Happy Holo-Daze! but it was pretty easy to apply as the base was thin. I did do some dabbing for placement of the larger glitters. I think I did 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite, but there could be 1 more coat of Gelous in there.

OPI in GoldenEye + Comparisons

Direct sunlight

So this is OPI in GoldenEye. GoldenEye was released with the Holiday 2012 "Skyfall" collection. OPI is composed of gold flake shimmers in a clear base with subtle red and green shimmers as well. It is a very blingy polish - if you want a Minx-like shine this would be a good alternative without the smooth finish. The gold coloring is a moderately-deep warm gold that is just shy of old gold, but still has olive and yellow coloring in some lights; I would say it's a mix between harvest gold and antique gold. In different lighting and angles it varies from looking pretty yellow to slightly green to rather coppery. Although this does lean quite warm, to my eye it doesn't look unflattering on the cooler skin tones I've seen.

The formula needs to be built up, so I used 3 thin coats. You could use this as a layering polish with 1 very thin coat. It dries slightly dull, which I fixed with 1 coat of Seche Vite.

China Glaze in Winter Holly + Comparison

Direct sunlight

Now comes the point in my backlog where things are going to go fairly anachronistic. I'm getting into my Christmas manis! This is China Glaze in Winter Holly. Winter Holly was released with the Holiday 2012 "Holiday Joy" collection, which included some really nice glitter polishes. China Glaze describes it as a "gold-flecked dazzling green glitter," but that description really does this polish a disservice. This one's a keeper folks! Winter Holly is packed with fine glitters in a clear base: predominantly green glitter, with gold as a the secondary color, as well as purple and holographic (flashing mostly red, but also blue) glitter. It glimmers and glows in the light like a Christmas tree decorated with lights and ornaments.

The formula is my ideal glitter formula. It isn't too thick, and it lays down and spreads out exactly where you place it. It does dry gritty of course; I applied 3 thin coats with 2 coats of very thinned Gelous, and 1 coat of Seche Vite to smooth things out.

Lynnderella in Mysterious Ways over Chanel in Sky Line

Indirect natural light

As part of my goal of swatching my Lynnderella stash in order to decide on purge-status, I topped my Chanel in Sky Line mani with Lynnderella in Mysterious Ways. Mysterious Ways was released with the Holiday 2011 "Funny Money and Holiday Houseguests" collection. I don't know if Mysterious Ways is still available. On March 1, 2012, Lynn posted that it was being phased out with that batch, and I haven't paid attention to her eBay store to know whether it has come back.

Mysterious Ways is described as "the long-lost sister of Gotta Love Brains," with "a grey-violet base with multi-coloured shimmer, white, silver, gunmetal and holographic hexagons, diamonds, squares and dust." That's Lynn's description, but I don't really find Mysterious Ways and Gotta Love Brains very similar (see More Nail Polish's swatches here: MW and GLB). The base is a grey-violet base; it's only slightly tinted and will slightly soften and dampen/dust-ify your base polish. There is a lot of fine hexagonal holographic glitter, as well as large hexagonal white opalescent glitter (like in Lynnderella in Love, Lace and Lilacs). Interspersed is the extra large glitter in various shapes, some holographic and some silver. Most scattered is large hexagonal and square gunmetal glitter in gunmetal. I don't think you could build up Mysterious Ways to opaque on its own.

I used 1 coat of Mysterious Ways plus 1 coat of a very thinned bottle of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite, and everything was smooth except for the extra large glitters, which poked out in some spots. The formula is nice, not too thick, but the glitter does start to sink if it sits for a long time (not super bad, just the top part had started to lose suspension since I bought it in 2011). I just put the bottle upside-down for a couple hours, then shook it, and it was fine to apply. I wore this a while ago, but I don't remember having to fish for glitter or dab my glitter placement, except to keep the extra large glitter on the nail. I really just slapped this on, since I wasn't sure how it would look, so there's no clean-up in these pictures (and there's a blanket fiber on my finger in one pic - ugh!).

Sorry most of my pictures of this are a bit out of focus - my camera had a hard time focusing and staying color-accurate with all the holo sparkle. And no sun at this point during the winter either! I really like Mysterious Ways and I am happy with the layering combo here, so this polish stays in the keep pile for now.

Chanel in #583 Taboo Comparisons

Indirect natural light, left to right: Chanel in #583 Taboo, China Glaze in Let's Groove, Misa in Uptown Glamour, Illamasqua in Baptiste

I've got six polishes to compare with Chanel in #583 Taboo today. Sunlight has been really scarce in Minneapolis for the last couple weeks, so I rushed to do these swatches in about an hour when the sun finally showed up - sorry about any sloppy application. My Taboo finger looks a little jenky because I just slapped on a third coat so it wouldn't be dull compared to the other polishes (since I'd been wearing it for a few days) and it got a little thick on the nail. On my nails I compared the two polishes I most often hear asked about: China Glaze in Let's Groove (a 99% dupe for Nars in Purple Rain) and Misa in Uptown Glamour (a dupe for OPI in Every Month is Oktoberfest), and because Illamasqua in Baptiste is very close to Let's Groove, I compared that as well.

You can see that none of these is close to Taboo. Uptown Glamour has an extremely similar base, but at two coats, it takes on a completely different look as a blackened burgundy. Let's Groove and Baptiste are pretty similar; Let's Groove is a bit brighter and warmer (Baptiste can look black in very low light). Additionally, none of these polishes have the larger flaky shimmer that Taboo does.

Indirect natural light, left to right: Chanel in #583 Taboo, China Glaze in Let's Groove, Misa in Uptown Glamour, Illamasqua in Baptiste

After I took these pictures, I compared Taboo with all my other polishes, and I found a few others that were close enough to be compared, including the polish that is closest to a dupe. You'll see those pictures after the jump. I apologize for not getting a picture on my nails with the other polishes, but there just wasn't enough time with the sun sprinting across the sky.

Chanel in #583 Taboo

Direct sunlight

My most recent mani was Chanel in #583 Taboo, which is the brand's most recent polish release. Taboo was released with the Spring 2013 "Collection Révélation" collection and is currently permanent in the line. It is this polish and Malice that have really restored my excitement in the Le Vernis range. Can you believe their last true purple was released in 2009? (By the way, sorry about the fingerprints on the bottle in these pictures.)

Taboo is in keeping with Chanel's best formulas; I used 2 thin coats, but you could get away with 1 thicker coat.

Direct sunlight

You can see that Taboo looks different on the nail compared with the bottle color. Chanel describes it as "violine with red iridescence." It is a blackened vampy purple with red shimmer and larger, more interspersed blue shimmer. The formula is a blue-indigo jelly base packed with fine red shimmer. The red shimmer and blue base combine to give the polish its purple color. The bottle shows gold fleck shimmers, but I never noticed those on the nail. The larger fleck shimmers appear to be blue, but I think they're actually silver and are tinted by the jelly base.

I will say that although this polish is unique, and I love it as part of my Chanel collection, it doesn't quite reach the same wow-factor as #637 Malice for me. I want Malice in green, in blue, in orange, in brown - in all the colors! The shimmer in Taboo is most visible in sunlight, but it is blackened, so if you're expecting it to be as bright as the bottle color you'll be disappointed. The shimmer is still visible indoors and in indirect light, but only from about arms-length or closer. In shade it would be easy to confuse with black, even though you can still tell it's a shimmer polish.

Below the cut are pictures that also show Taboo in indirect light, shade, and with flash. I also have pictures from a bit more distance to give an indication of how the polish will look when not up close. Plus, pictures and a tip for how to bring out more of the shimmer. Be sure to come back on Wednesday for my comparisons post!

Chanel in Sky Line

Indirect natural light

Here is Chanel in Sky Line. Sky Line was released with the Fall 2012 "Bleu Illusion de Chanel" collection. It is still available, although it is a limited-edition polish (by the way, this is why when people get frantic about snatching up Chanel limited-editions, I tend to tell them to calm down a bit - Chanel is actually pretty good about keeping limited-editions in stock for at least a month - including Jade, the Khakis, and Malice - much much better than MAC and even Rescue Beauty Lounge). As I collect Le Vernis, I wasn't conflicted about purchasing Sky Line, but I know many people were worried because of the frost. However, blitherypoop on NB came up with a sponging technique that helps bring out shimmers in shy polishes and eliminate brushstrokes in frosty ones, so you can see from my pictures that I didn't have to deal with brushstrokiness. Without the brushstrokes you can appreciate that this color is truly beautiful and unique. It reminds me of Cinderella and Marie Antoinette. I always seem to be saying this, but was really hard to get this to photograph accurately - it wanted to go too purple or too green, so I'm sorry these photographs aren't the best resolution.

I used 3 thin coats because the formula was a little sheer, with the last one sponged on using a sponge-tip eyeshadow applicator, a technique I previously used for my teal Ovarian Cancer Awareness gradient. When you sponge, it does dry with a slightly bumpy texture, but using top coat gets rid of that. Apart from the frostiness, the formula on Sky Line was lovely.

I have two big project deadlines on Monday and Tuesday, so I don't have time to edit my new batch of photos right now (seriously guys, the picture below is but a portion of the books I've been reading - not to mention the eBooks and hundreds of journal articles! I feel like death.), but coming up soon after, I will have Chanel in #583 Taboo to show you, along with comparisons (there is one polish that is about a 90% match, although it was a limited-edition polish).

Chanel in #637 Malice

Indirect natural light

Now that's a beautiful polish, right? This is Chanel in #637 Malice. I love Malice so much that I actually wore it twice last year (the first time I had a raw cut on my pinky and did my nails while watching TV, so you can tell which of these set of pics they are). Malice was the only polish released with the Holiday 2012 "Éclats du Soir" collection, but you don't need more than one polish in a collection when it's this beautiful. Unfortunately, the sun never came out when I was wearing this polish, but I think that speaks to how gorgeous it is - it doesn't need the sun to shine.

Malice might look dupable, but it's really not. It's a blackened red that's neither too cool nor to warm. The thing that makes Malice different from the other similar vampies is that, first, it really never looks black except in the lowest of lights (like watching TV with one light on). And second, it has a jelly base, which really makes the shimmer shine through like it's glowing - that lit-from-within effect.

The formula is really wonderful. I used 2 thin coats. You could get away with 1 thicker coat, but I think due to the jelly base that 2 gives it more depth.

Deborah Lippmann in Superstar

Indirect natural light

Today I'm showing you Deborah Lippmann in Superstar. You can see I have an old bottle; I think around 2010 the brand was renamed from "Lippmann Collection" to "Deborah Lippmann." Just like Deborah Lippmann was one of the originators of the mixed-size jelly glitters, she was also one of the first to release fully-buildable glitters in unique colors (at least at the high-end level), loathe as we may be to credit her. Superstar was released with the Holiday 2008 collection. It is a really gorgeous deep brown jelly with small rose gold glitter. In most lights it looks rose gold, but at times it also looks more copper (orange), which is reflected in my pictures. Unfortunately, the sun was hiding while I wore this polish and I don't feel like my pictures quite accurately capture its beauty.

The formula is great for a jelly glitter, just slightly thick. These are 2 medium coats. I had to use 2 coats of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite to smooth out the glitter.

I wore this mani for Thanksgiving. Worn November 22 - 24, 2012.

Chanel in #563 Vertigo

Direct sunlight

Okay, first, I want to apologize for these pictures. Due to winter light-searching, it took a few days to get sunlight pictures, so there is some scratching on my top coat. And, I think this is when my best friend's life started to implode, and I was pretty stressed out, which is reflected in how scary-tight my fingers are gripping the bottle in many of these pictures. It also left me little time for clean-up; I can tell I only used an orange stick and didn't do any clean-up with acetone and a brush, so my application is less tidy than I'd like macro to capture. It's making me cringe!

I'm wearing Chanel in #563 Vertigo. Vertigo was released with the Fall 2012 "Les Essentiels de Chanel" collection. I'll admit that it was around this collection that I started to get a little antsy with the Le Vernis releases. I mentioned last post that I have my Chanel's on a wall rack, and I was feeling a little uninspired when I went to choose a color. Vertigo is a bit of a disappointment as far as polish inspiration goes. It's a nice color that's surprisingly unique for a deep taupe, but the promos and the shimmer in the bottle promised much more. This is one of the most subtle of Chanel's hidden shimmers. It is just barely visible in full light and only if you're looking closely for it. This does make it a work-friendly color, but it isn't quite special enough to make me excited. The color is a slightly cool, purple-leaning taupe (deeper than Paradoxal). There are subtle gold, white, and red shimmers, with the red shimmer dominating. But seriously, don't buy this polish if you want to see the shimmer.

The formula was great. I used 2 thin coats.

Nails Inc. in Baker Street + Comparisons

Indirect natural light - color-corrected

Guys, things are so crazy right now - I haven't worn polish in over 3 weeks! But thankfully I have a significant backlog. You've definitely seen this color before. This is Nails Inc. in Baker Street, an amazing bright cobalt blue creme. I wouldn't say it's straight cobalt - it has a tiny touch of purple to it. Baker Street was difficult to capture accurately, so I had to color-adjust some of these photos.

Application of Baker Street was slightly thick, but not too bad - I used 2 thin coats. I wore this a while ago, but I think I recall a slightly glue-y smell during application.

In any case, this is an indispensable color in my collection. Baker Street was released in Spring 2012 and is currently permanent. I was able to get the lovely crystal cap version on sale from Sephora; it's no longer available in that version, but it is still available in it's regular bottle.

One thing to note about Nails Inc.'s bottles is that the caps are not removable, so they're not the most fun to hold, but they don't hinder application.

You might recall that Baker Street was made super famous by Beyoncé post-baby Blue Ivy delivery. I don't think I've ever found a picture that quite captures how vibrant and gorgeous this polish is in person. I had totally forgotten, but this mani was worn in celebration after election day.
