I'm wearing Chanel in Khaki Brun, released with the first and best Fashion's Night Out collection, Fall 2010 "
Les Khakis de Chanel." Khaki Brun looks much more brown than I expected - I was thinking it would be a dirty olive, which is one of my favorite polish colors. This polish is not a duochrome, but it shifts from looking taupe to olive, warm to cool - even in the same lighting. I love it.
This is 2 thin coats. The formula was the perfect Chanel creme - 1 thicker coat would be perfectly opaque.
It was tricky capturing all the different colors this polish shows up as, so I took pictures at different times over about a week, which is why some pictures show tipwear and growth.
Worn September 17 - 27, 2012.

promo image is also actually color-accurate. I only found
one picture comparison, but I've heard that OPI in A-Taupe The Space Needle is similar, but a little lighter and slightly less green -
Scrangie's swatch of the OPI is super close to how Khaki Brun looks on me.
Great color and definitely their best FNO collection! I wonder if perhaps new Dior Amazonia is close to being a dupe?
ReplyDeleteHermetic - The Ommorphia link in my post compares the two - Amazonia is darker and less brown, but still awesome!
