Here I'm wearing Chanel in Diwali. Diwali was released with the Summer 2012
"Bombay Express de Chanel" collection. It's is still available on Chanel.com!
This is a polish I imagine will look horrible on me in the winter when I'm at my maximum paleness, but it's very pretty with a tan. It's a white-gold metallic foil. It also has the signature Chanel subtle-shimmer in green and red.
The formula was perfect. I used 2 thin coats. I know it looks like there are brushstrokes on my index finger, but it was not visible in person. The removal was easier than most foils - more like Chanel in #479 Kaleidoscope than Chanel in #607 Delight.
Worn September 28 - October 2, 2012.

So what do you think of Diwali? What's your favorite gold? Everyone on the East Coast, I'm thinking of you, and I hope you get through Sandy safe and sound.
Chanel Diwali is a lemming of mine, and it will probably stay that way because it was never available in my country :( Such a perfect shade of gold!
ReplyDeleteNatalia - Oh, it sucks when brands do that! Have you tried asking any of the ladies on the Specktra boards if they would be willing to do a custom purchase? I have found them to be so lovely and helpful. I hope eventually this polish makes its way to you!
