365 days ago, Donald fucking Trump officially took office as President of the United States of America. The role of our president was irrevocably changed. And we haven't stopped fighting. We haven't stopped working. We haven't stopped listening. We haven't stopped moving. Our voices will be heard. #Timesup.

Trump has done a lot of shit. Puerto Rico is still <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/28/us/puerto-rico-maria-by-the-numbers-trnd/index.html">devastated</a> and in need of <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/puerto-rico-hurricane-victims-still-need-help-heres-what-you-can-do">aid</a>. Here's just one <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/trump-puerto-rico-aid">article</a> on Trump's response. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/without-chip-resolution-1-7-million-kids-could-lose-healthcare-n838991">CHIP</a> (the Children's Health Insurance Program) has been in danger for months because Republicans haven't been willing to pass a clean bill to extend it.

So 2017 was a rough year. It was kind of devastating actually. It was hard not to be cynical. While I was keeping myself informed and educated, and avoiding the TV news media like the plague, I tried to keep in mind this part of Stephen Colbert's 2006 commencement address to graduating seniors at Knox College, which as always stuck with me:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying "yes" begins things. Saying "yes" is how things grow. Saying "yes" leads to knowledge. "Yes" is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say "yes."</i></blockquote>
And, as much, as I watched us lose special elections in Kansas and Montana and Georgia and South Carolina with a cynic's eye, and then win the governorship in Virginia, I shielded myself again for Alabama despite everything swirling around. But now, I'm choosing "yes." (Even though, Jones, I'm watching you, I saw your yes vote on the spending bill.) I went into the New Year wearing Cirque Colors in Halcyon.<br />

<i>The world's history is a diving poem, of which the history of every nation is a canto, and every man a word.

Cirque Colors in Halcyon is a stunning rose gold composed of metallic rose gold flakies that lie flat on the nail. It builds up to opaque in 2 thin coats, and is almost opaque in one. Great formula. No need for a thick top coat, but the flakies kind of stick to your skin when you remove it, so you might want to do some less stringent variant on foil removal. This was part of their Holiday 2016 collection, but I believe it is now part of the permanent line.

Okay, one last fired up story. The word "halcyon" originates from the Greek word for "kingfisher," and the story told by Ovid of the ruler of the winds Aeolus's daughter, Alcyone:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
She ran and leaped into the water [...] and then oh, wonder, instead of sinking into the waves she was flying over them. She had wings; her body was covered with feathers. She had been changed into a bird. [...] Every year there are seven days on end when the sea lies still and calm; no breath of wind stirs the waters. These are the days when Alcyone broods over her nest floating on the sea. After the young birds are hatched the charm is broken; but each winter these days of perfect peace come, and they are called after her, Alcyon, or more commonly, Halcyon days" (145).</blockquote>

After the last year, this is what I wish for us in 2018. Let us get through the storm, and emerge into something better. Let us appreciate everything more because of what we have been through. Let us strive to make it better because of what has come before. Let us bring on the halcyon days.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And then...let us rain hell on those who did us wrong. 😈</div>

Today, I'm showing Sinful Colors in Kommotion, a cool purple with tons of gold and pink shimmer. This was part of the Summer 2016 Kylie Jenner collaboration, in the "Trend MATTErs - Velvety Demi Mattes." There was not really a distinction in finish between this and the Pure Satin Mattes collection - some were shiny, some were textures, and some were matte - there was no satin or demi matte finish. These polishes aren't in stores anymore, but they're still on the Walgreens <a href="https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/sinfulcolors-kylie-jenner-trend-matters-collection-velvety-demi-mattes/ID=prod6330873-product">website</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This polish dries normally, but I have Seche Vite top coat on, as usual. There are some brushstrokes, but it's not really noticeable because of the shimmer. I used 2 thin coats - good formula.</div>

Kommotion is unique to my collection. <b>Sinful Colors in Zeus</b> (subtle shimmer) is more deep and dusty and has pink shimmer. <b>Nicole by OPI in Back to Reality...TV</b> (subtle shimmer) is pretty much a dupe for Zeus, but has slightly less visible shimmer. There were a couple of other brands that came out with similar polishes to these two, but I can't think of them at the moment. <b>Finger Paints in Hue Rang? </b>(shimmer) is darker with white shimmer. <b>China Glaze in C-C-Courage [2009]</b> (glitter) is much darker and has silver microglitter. <b>Wet n Wild Shine in Wild Orchid</b> (glitter) is darker and has blue shimmer and silver holographic microglitter.</div>

Say what you will about the Kardashian/Jenner clan, but they've come out with some beautiful polishes. And the price is indisputable. I'm happy to have this one in my collection.</div>

I have added comparisons for the Chanel in #603 Charivari <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2017/04/100-days-chanel-in-603-charivari.html">post</a>.</div>

There has been increased interest in my Marc Jacobs' posts since the 50% off polish sale they held last month. There is currently a 20% off code (MJBFRIENDS) for the Marc Jacobs Beauty <a href="http://marcjacobsbeauty.com/">website</a> (plus an additional 4% back with <a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/JALLEN126">eBates</a> [referral link]), so I have updated my Introductory <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2013/07/an-introduction-to-marc-jacobs-beauty.html">post</a> to include nail wheel swatches and descriptions of the initial permanent line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also updated my Marc Jacobs in #140 Petra <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2013/08/marc-jacobs-in-140-petra-comparisons.html">post</a> to include comparisons between Petra and China Glaze in Wood You Wanna?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you find these helpful!</div>

Today marks 100 Days of Trump. Thus, I have to show you Chanel in #603 Charivari. Charivari translates in English to "chaos," "tumult," "pandemonium," or "mayhem." It's only too fitting. Sad! Interestingly, I also found this rather applicable information from Wikipedia:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<span style="font-family: , serif;">"<b>Charivari</b> are terms
for a folk custom in which the community gives a noisy, discordant mock
serenade, frequently with pounding on pots and pans... . The loud, public
ritual evolved to a form of social coercion, for instance, to force an
as-yet-unmarried couple to wed."</span><span style="font-family: , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: , serif;">A variation of charivari in England was
called a <b>skimmington</b>, "a practice in which a raucous
punishment is dramatically enacted to humiliate one or more people who have
violated, in a domestic or public context, standards commonly upheld within the
community."</span><span style="font-family: , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: , serif;">Other customs similar to charivari
practiced "around the world have involved making loud noises to scare away
evil spirits."</span></blockquote>

Charivari was released in the Spring 2014 "Notes de Printemps" ("Notes of Spring") collection. (It is likely that charivari here is music "taken up by composers of the French Baroque tradition as a 'rustic' or 'pastoral' character piece.") It is a deep warm plum creme with a bit of dustiness to it. It needed 2 thin coats. </div>

<b>China Glaze in Dusk</b> (subtle shimmer) has a similar tone but a lighter base, as well as subtle pink/gold shimmer. I don't know why I didn't put <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Recherche</b> (creme) next to Charivari. They are obviously the closest match; Recherche is a bit deeper and cooler, but I don't think you need both. <b>Chanel in #669 Châtaigne</b> (creme) is cooler and much deeper. <b>Deborah Lippmann in Miss Independent</b> (creme, swatches and comparisons <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2017/03/a-day-without-woman-organize-resist.html">here</a>) is less dusty and has more pink.</div>

Here is the final Spring collection from Chanel, "Énergies et Puretés" ("Energy and Purity"). This is the Le Blanc collection and is only available on <a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/energies-et-puretes-141837">Chanel.com</a> right now. I believe that the Le Blanc collection is usually included in Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, but I don't often shop there, so I'm not positive. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The copy for this collection says:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Energy and purity. Tradition and modernity. Inspired by the harmony of opposites, a new makeup collection unveils soft and subtle shades with hints of vibrancy. The unexpected contrast of muted tones and cheery brights offers an array of fresh, luminous looks."</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once again (as seems to be a common thread with these Lucia Pica collections), the look of the makeup collection is really beautiful, but the nails get fairly standard shades. I mean, are you surprised that this collection includes a red?</div>

#552 Resplendissant ("Resplendent," "Shining") is a bright coral red creme. The formula was slightly thick for my preference, but I had no problems manipulating it, I just prefer formulas on the thin side. This is definitely a one-coater for most people, but I used 2 thin coats for that more gel-like look on the nail. This isn't a type of red that I prefer on me, but I can't deny that it's a beautiful, classic polish. This one is limited-edition.<br />

I included some pinks, corals, and reds for comparison. <b>Misa in #264 Bop Til You Drop</b> (subtle shimmer) is a coral pink with subtle gold and pink shimmer; it's lighter, less orange, and more pink than Resplendissant. <b>Chanel in #549 Distraction</b> (subtle shimmer) is a pinky coral with subtle pink pearl; it's lighter and more pink. <b>Essie in #839 Sunday Funday</b> (shimmer) is a pinky coral with silver fleck shimmer; it's lighter and bit more pink. <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Coral</b> (crelly) is lighter and more pink. <b>Chanel in #647 Lilis</b> (creme) is a bright orange coral; it's more orange. <b>OPI in My Chihuahua Bites!</b> (creme) is a bit lighter and more pink. <b>Chanel in #605 Tapage </b>(creme) is darker and more red. <b>OPI in Red My Fortune Cookie</b> (creme) is also darker and more red. Below is an overexposed picture to help accentuate the differences.<br />

#584 Bleu Pastel has gotten a bit of buzz because it's reminiscent of <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/09/chanel-in-riva-comparisons-bonus-chanel.html">Chanel in Riva</a> (I have them compared below). This one is an addition to the permanent line. It's a warm-leaning blue pastel creme. Its not quite a crelly, but it does have a slightly less opaque formula, so the polish doesn't come off as chalky or stark on the nail. I used 2 thin coats and 1 medium coat, being careful to float my brush on the last coat. So, this one also has that hidden shimmer we last saw in <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2017/04/chanel-in-566-washed-denim-568-tulle.html">#570 Androgyne</a>. I honestly thought this was a creme until I was checking my photos for color-accuracy at night and used my phone's flashlight function to look at the bottle. This blue shimmer is basically undetectable on the nail, and only visible in the bottle under extremely bright lighting conditions. Historically, I have usually loved Chanel's subtle shimmers, but these hidden shimmers that are becoming more frequent are just aggravating, and such a missed opportunity. The only reason I can think of adding them is that they possibly help the formula?<br />

Riva is an example of Chanel's subtle shimmer done right. It has a deeper, warmer base, and cool-toned blue subtle shimmer.<br />

<b>Illamasqua in Caress</b> (creme) is deeper than Bleu Pastel. <b>China Glaze in Dashboard Dreamer</b> (subtle shimmer) is deeper and has subtle pink, copper, and gold shimmer. <b>Chanel in Riva</b> (subtle shimmer) is deeper with more green and a cool-toned blue subtle shimmer. <b>Chanel in Coco Blue</b> (shimmer) was not showing up color-accurate next to these lighter blues (I have it swatched <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/08/chanel-in-coco-blue.html">here</a>). It has less green, is much deeper, and has white pearl and blue subtle shimmer.<br />
<br />
So again we have a collection where I like the colors, but I'm not excited by them. What do you think? What do you want to see from Chanel for the rest of the year? I can tell you that for summer we have <i>more</i> hidden shimmer. </div>

The most interesting of Chanel's spring collections this year is the "Rouge Coco Gloss" collection. I don't know that these really fit into the Rouge Coco Gloss (which replaces Glossimers) theme, but there were some colors that intrigued me and they all seemed like a good addition to the permanent line (Tulle is the only limited edition polish in this collection). Was I more impressed or disappointed by this collection? Let's find out!</div>

#566 Washed Denim was the unequivocal hit of the collection for me. It's a truly unique creme. And, it looks like the wash of my favorite 7 for All Mankind jeans, which I've had repaired multiple times because I love them so - I think they only made one jean in this wash because I searched fruitlessly for years for similar pairs from the brand. Washed Denim is a turquoise creme with a lot of grey in it. Great formula, 2 thin coats.<br />

#568 Tulle is rightfully a limited-edition because no one wants a fussy formula in their permanent line. I did 3 thin coats, and I really had to float the brush to prevent cuticle drag and ridges. This is a peach creme. It is a nice color, but it's nothing to write home about. It really reminded me of Essie in #16 Cantaloupe when I put it on, but it's not a dupe.<br />

#570 Androgyne was absolutely the biggest disappointment of the collection. It's very reminiscent of #563 Vertigo because its subtle shimmer will never come out to play. Even if you look closely in full light, it is barely visible. Even when I could angle the bottle to show a ton of shimmer, I could never find even the most awkward positioning of my hands that made it show. Androgyne could have been a very cool polish - and Chanel hasn't had a really stand out polish since when - maybe #675 Troublante? So they sorely need to reinvigorate this line. But Androgyne will not be the one to do it. It is a deep brown with purple and has green subtle shimmer. THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE. I tried layering polishes over to bring it out: nope. (A very thin layer of Pure Ice in Heartbreaker might actually work, but I've misplaced mine.) I tried to sponge on an extra coat, theorizing that the base would sink into the sponge and the shimmer would stay on the surface and transfer more visibly to the nail: FAIL. I used 2 thin coats. This polish also tended to look dull even with top coat. Not cool, Androgyne. Not cool. These next two pictures are the absolute most shimmer you will ever see on the nail.<br />

None of these polishes is an exact match, but they look so similar from a normal distance that I don't think you need more than one. <b>Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Bittersweet</b> (creme) is warmer. <b>Chanel in #563 Vertigo </b>(creme) has less purple and is a bit more greyed out; there's also red, purple, and gold subtle shimmer that is pretty much invisible. <b>MAC in Rich, Dark, Delicious </b>(creme) is very similar to Androgyne, it just has less purple.</div>

#572 Emblématique<b> </b>(which means "iconic") turned out to be my second favorite of this collection. But then, it's no surprise that Chanel does reds well. This is a deep red crelly with a cool undertone. It actually looks quite deep in lower lighting. I used 3 thin coats, but it would be great in 2 medium ones.<br />

This one falls in between #510 Gitane, which is a bright cherry tomato red, and #528 Rouge Puissant, which is a deeper mid-tone neutral red. Rouge Essentiel is a bit brighter and warmer than Rouge Puissant and significantly deeper than Gitane. It's a bright mid-tone neutral red. If you want a red that pops but is still work appropriate, this is the one in the lineup that fits the bill.<br />
<br />
Rouge Essentiel applies as is typical of Chanel red cremes: flawlessly. I used 2 thin coats. No staining.<br />

<b>Chanel in #528 Rouge Puissant</b> (creme) is a bit deeper and cooler. <b>Marc Jacobs in #196 Poison Apple</b> (crelly) is a bit brighter - and this one stains my nails. <b>Chanel in #508 Shantung</b> (creme) is a bit deeper and has more pink. Rouge Essentiel and Poison Apple are similar enough that you only need one.<br />

My picks of the reds I've reviewed? I like #530 Rouge Radical for a bright red - #546 Rouge Red if we're talking permanent collection. And I love #528 Rouge Puissant for a classic red. What do you think? Which is your favorite so far?</div>

For the second year, Marc Jacobs has done pastels for spring. Groundbreaking, I know. But this is a different mix than last year's, with some cool dustier colors and a softness from the pearly shimmer that is this year's theme. These polishes are limited-edition and only available on the Marc Jacobs Beauty <a href="https://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/limited-edition-enamored/hi-shine-nail-lacquer/MJ50002.html?dwvar_MJ50002_color=MJ5053">site</a>. I'll reiterate that I think the $18 price tag on these is very reasonable for a luxury brand, which is how his other cosmetics are priced. How many years ago was it that Chanel Le Vernis was $18? I think 2006 when Black Satin was released! The formula for all of these polishes is thin so that the shimmer doesn't get covered up. It's not a bad formula, it just needs at least 3 thin coats to cover up any streakiness and bring it to full opacity.</div>

#230 Pearl Jam is cool-leaning pink with white shimmer running through it. I needed 3 thin coats for this one to even it out. This polish is also available in <a href="http://www.sephora.com/enamored-hi-shine-nail-lacquer-collectors-edition-P417648?skuId=1928829&icid2=products%20grid:p417648">special packaging</a> (just the box) through all Marc Jacobs Beauty retailers for his <a href="http://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/makeup/runway-collection">collaboration</a> with fashion illustrator <a href="http://www.julieverhoeven.com/">Julie Verhoeven</a>. This polish went quite cool on my nails, probably in contrast to the warmth in my skin tone. On others it might be a neutral pink, which you can better see in my comparison.<br />

<b>Revlon in Grapefruit Fizz</b> (jelly) is quite sheer and a bit warmer with flakies running through it. <b>Chanel in #210 Lilac Sky </b>(shimmer) is actually the polish that came to mind when I first applied Pearl Jam, but you can see it is much more cool and purple. <b>Chanel in #615 Lilac Sky</b> (subtle shimmer) is darker and a bit cooler. I think you can see the slight dustiness of Pearl Jam in comparison to these other polishes. <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Poco a Poco</b> (subtle shimmer) is darker with more brown in it and shifting red-pink-copper-gold shimmer. <b>Marc Jacobs in #142 Fluorescent Beige</b> and <b>Essie in #721 Demure Vixen</b> (subtle shimmer) are very close to each other. They are both darker and more neutral than Pearl Jam; Demure Vixen has a cool violet shimmer and Fluorescent Beige has a warmer purple shimmer.<br />

#232 Party Pearl is one of two quite similar polishes in this collection. It's also in the vein of other Marc Jacobs polishes: #102 Daisy and #162 Blanche. Party Pearl is a peach pink with white and gold shimmer. This one needed 4 thin coats because it was sheer.<br />

And, this is Party Pearl's sister, #234 Pearly Whirly. Apologies, I had to color-edit the sunlight pictures because they kept making the polish appear more white. Pearly Whirly is a pale peach with white shimmer. This one also needed 4 thin coats. Of the two, I would pick Party Pearl simply because it is more different from the other Marc Jacobs polishes I already own, but you definitely don't need both. I do love these types of polishes for the soft, delicate vibe they give.</div>

<b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Thank You</b> (subtle shimmer) is really a pale nude but in comparison it is much darker to all the other shades. It has more brown and has a subtle pink-violet shimmer. <b>Chanel in #507 Tendresse</b> (sheer jelly) is a buildable peach jelly with no shimmer. It is darker than Party Pearl. <b>Marc Jacobs in #206 Resurrection</b> (creme) is lighter than both Party Pearl and Pearly Whirly and has no shimmer. <b>Chanel in #625 Secret</b> (creme) is darker than Pearly Whirly but quite close to Party Pearl but without the shimmer. Party Pearl and Pearly Whirly are both peach with white shimmer, but Party Pearl is darker and has a bit more pink. <b>Marc Jacobs in #102 Daisy</b> is a more peach version of the two. <b>Marc Jacobs in #162 Blanche</b> is an ivory version. All four Marc Jacobs polishes have similar formulas.<br />

#238 Pearl Gates is warm light grey with white shimmer and green and purple subtle shimmer. I pull a lot of green out of this shade because of my skin tone. This one has kind of grungy feel. Like all the other polishes in this collection the formula is thin. I needed 3 thin coats.<br />

#240 Ms. Pearl is a light warm grey-taupe with white, purple, and green shimmer that gives it a purple edge. This is another cool kind of dusty, grungy color, and I think it's the most unique of the collection. I needed 3 thin coats.<br />

I didn't have anything that was really close to Ms. Pearl. My greys were way more grey and my taupes were way more brown; it most closely fell in with my light purples. <b>Misa in #275 Sweet Thing</b> (creme) is also dusty, but it's darker and way more purple, with no shimmer. <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Pizzicato</b> (glass-fleck) is a light, warm pink-purple with white glass fleck shimmer. <b>Revlon in Gum Drop</b> (creme) is a sheerer pale lilac with no shimmer.</div>

I had to color-correct this polish because it was way too green in my pictures. #242 Pearl Necklace is a slightly cooler, green-leaning pale lemon yellow with white, gold, green, and copper shimmer. This wasn't bad for a yellow, but I did need 4 thin coats.<br />

So, what do you think of this collection? I really love almost all the colors (Pearl Jam isn't quite my style). I just wish MJ could figure out how to get this finish with a more opaque formula. But, on the other hand, the sheerness makes them look so dainty and clean on the nails when they're built up. I hope you found something you'd like to pick up.</div>

Today, on International Women's Day, I participate in the A Day Without a Woman event. I <span style="font-family: inherit;">mentioned it in my last post:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">"There is more information about this on the </span><a href="https://www.womensmarch.com/womensday/" style="color: #573f41; font-family: inherit;">Women's March</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> site and an article discussing this strike on </span><a href="http://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/3/14721468/international-womens-day-strike-a-day-without-a-woman-march-8" style="color: #573f41; font-family: inherit;">Vox</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">. In a week where we've seen our new president make grave and despicable things up out of whole cloth once again, please consider showing him an irrefutable </span><i style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: inherit;">truth</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">: "the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system--while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment, and job insecurity" and "that trans and gender nonconforming people face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression and political targeting" (Women's March). It's a sad statement that I could post a link connecting Donald Trump to each one of those acts. The truth matters. Goodness matters. Women matter."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
I hope you'll participate in whatever way you can. In the U.S. we are now living with an administration that thinks nothing of trampling on the civil liberties of its citizens. If you think your voice is small and your power is nonexistent, please look at this infographic from <i>Time</i>, "<a href="http://time.com/4693384/heres-what-a-day-without-women-would-really-look-like/">Here's What a Day Without Women Would Really Look Like</a>." Participate. Make yourself heard.<br />

Deborah Lippmann in Miss Independent is a deep <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_purple">Tyrian purple</a> creme. It's deep and vampy but doesn't ever cross over into looking black. You can see it looks warmer and lighter in tone than it dries on the nail. This polish was part of the Fall 2015 "Roar" collection. Awesome formula - 2 thin coats.<br />

This shade is unique in my collection. <b>Essie in #663 Damsel in a Dress</b> is darker and cooler, with a subtle silver shimmer running through it. <b>Chanel in Provocation</b> (creme) is lighter and warmer. <b>Chanel in #603 Charivari</b> (creme) is dusty purple - a touch lighter and cooler with some taupe in it. <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Recherche </b>(creme) is a slightly dusty cool purple that can look brown in some lights on my skin tone. <b>OPI in William Tell Me About OPI</b> (creme) is deeper. <b>Zoya in Casey</b> is one of those black-looking deep vampy crellies; it's cooler and much darker.<br />

I also compared it to some of my vampy reds.<b> Clinique in Black Honey Velvet</b> (jelly) is much more red. <b>Chanel in #18 Rouge Noir</b> (creme) is deeper and more red. <b>Chanel in #427 Diabolic </b>(creme) is pretty close in hue but it's much darker and there is more purity in color, if that makes sense (Miss Independent is slightly murky in comparison).<br />

Deborah Lippmann in Respect is also from the Fall 2015 "Roar" collection. It's a brick red creme. On me, in the shade it can look almost like burnt sienna, but on cooler skin tones, I suspect it might not lean that warm. Perfect formula on this one - 2 thin coats.<br />

<b>Chanel in #207 Barcelona Red</b> is deeper and has less orange in it (it still leans quite brick on my nails), plus gold shimmer. <b>KL Polish in Brick Sidewalk</b> is way more brown.<br />
<br />
Michelle has these polish swatched with comparisons at <a href="http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2015/08/deborah-lippmann-fall-2015-roar-swatches-review.html">All Lacquered Up</a>, although I think her lighting makes her comparisons a bit inaccurate. Valesha also has them swatched at <a href="http://www.peachypolish.com/deborah-lippmann-fall-2015-roar-collection/">Peachy Polish</a>.<br />

Chanel's Spring collection is called "Coco Codes," inspired by "black, white, beige, gold and red -- five shades iconic to Gabrielle Chanel." The Chanel website describes these colors as "a palette of unexpected shades that frees women to invent their own codes of beauty." I mean...press releases are always pretty ridiculous. But calling black, white, beige, gold, and red unexpected made me roll my eyes just a <i>little </i>bit.<br />

This is the third polish collection with Lucia Pica at the helm, and as chic as I think her choices on the makeup side of things have been, I have to say I'm not at all thrilled with her polish curation so far. I've been collecting Chanel polish seriously since 2010, and I totally skipped the Holiday 2016 "Libre Synthetic de Chanel" collection; the only other Le Vernis I've passed on in that time are the ones from the Fall 2013 "Moiré Le Rouge Chanel" collection (swatched by Sabrina <a href="http://thebeautylookbook.com/2013/09/chanel-rose-moire-593-and-rouge-moire.html">here</a>), which were too frosty and dated looking for my taste. I picked up the Spring 2017 "<a href="http://chicprofile.com/chanel-rouge-coco-gloss-spring-2017">Rouge Coco Gloss</a>" polishes with a gift card from Neiman's, and those are more my style. But, I'm definitely hoping for better things from Lucia in the future -- and no more reds this year, please!<br />
<br />
For the polishes specifically, Pica says, "I liked the idea of 'top coats' and the transformation of color through them. It is a continuation of the idea of layering that I began before, but here it is lacquering." This top coat she mentions is the Le Top Coat Top Coat Tent in Black Métamorphosis (the only limited-edition shade in this collection), which is meant to be layered over the collections other shades.<br />

#546 Rouge Red is a warm-leaning bright red crelly polish. It reminds me of a Marilyn red - very pin-up. The formula is excellent; this is 2 thin coats. Another great red from Chanel is not a surprise, but I can't be mad at it. This is the sixth red in the permanent line, though, so I think we could for a respite from additional shades for a bit. Below, I have bottle comparisons with the other permanent reds, but since my bottle of #08 Pirate is in the old Le Vernis bottle, I forgot to include it. You can see it compared <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/08/chanel-in-528-rouge-puissant-530-rouge.html#more">here</a>.<br />

For the swatch stick comparison, I added <b>#530 Rouge Radical</b>, which is brighter and more sheer. Rouge Red still has a bit of sheer to it because of the crelly formula, so I think it will look a bit different on everyone based on what the undertone of their skin is. <b>#510 Gitane</b> is a bit deeper and has a creme formula. <b>#500 Rouge Essentiel </b>(creme) is darker with a neutral undertone. <b>#528 Rouge Puissant</b> (creme) is deeper still and has a slightly cool undertone. <b>#508 Shantung</b> is also cool-leaning but goes almost raspberry pink.<br />

Here are similar reds from the rest of my collection. In the last photo, I decreased the brightness and upped the contrast to help you really see the differences, since my camera wants to make them look a bit more close to each other than they are in person.<b> Deborah Lippmann in Supermodel</b> is lighter, brighter, and more orange with a jelly finish. <b>American Apparel in Poppy</b> (creme) is lighter and a bit warmer. <b>OPI in Red My Fortune Cookie</b> (creme) is pretty similar but a bit lighter - this might be a good Rouge Red alternative for those with cooler skin tones. <b>Illamasqua in Alarm</b> (creme) is also pretty similar but a bit brighter and warmer - this might be a good Rouge Red alternative for those with warmer skin tones. <b>Chanel in #687 Phenix</b> (creme) is a bit darker and cooler. <b>Chanel in #717 Coquelicot</b> (creme) is darker.<br />

#548 Blanc White is another addition to the permanent line. It is oddly named as it is more ivory-nude with a subtle white pearl running through it. This one turned out to be my surprise favorite of the collection. Most pale neutrals in my collection are strictly divided into whether they're flattering on me when I'm pale or tan. I haven't been able to get outside much (apart from walking my dogs) for the past few months because of chronic migraines that make me intolerant of too much sunlight, so I'm the palest I get here in California, but this shade didn't wash me out and I think it will also look really nice if I ever get more of a tan, so it's a winner for me. You do have to baby this one a bit, but it's not too fussy. I did 2 thin coats and did a medium 3rd layer, floating the brush so I didn't get cuticle drag.<br />

<b>Marc Jacobs in #162 Blanche</b> (shimmer) is a more opaque, stark version of Blanc White with stronger pearl; it comes off a bit lighter because your skin tone effects Blanc White since it is more sheer.<b> Chanel in #567 Beige Pétale</b> (sheer) is quite similar in color, but there is no pearl and it is very sheer, so the effect is quite different on the nail compared to Blanc White. <b>Chanel in #87 Flamme Rose</b> (crelly) has no pearl and is more pink. <b>Essie in #378 Pound Cake</b> (creme) has no pearl and is a bit deeper and more stark on the nail.<br />

When I saw #556 Beige Beige the first thing that came to mind was the Crayola crayon in Flesh (now renamed Peach for obvious reasons). And, it is very close. Beige Beige is a mid-tone kind of salmony nude creme. I think this shade looks fine on me in close-up pictures, but wearing it I think there is too much pink and not enough brown for it to suit me. Formula was slightly thick for my preference, but manageable; I did 2 thin coats.<br />

I don't have many polishes in this shade range, since I don't think it's flattering on me. <b>Chanel in #633 Intention</b> (creme) is a bit deeper and has a touch more brown. <b>CND in #530 Desert Suede</b> (creme) is deeper and less orange. Of the three, I find Desert Suede to compliment my skin tone the best.<br />

Now we come to this limited-edition top coat, Le Top Coat Top Coat Teinté in Black Métamorphosis. This one just bugs for some reason. First is the fact that Chanel generally sets trends and this concept was <a href="http://www.fruitylashes.com/dior-vernis-rock-your-nails-collection-2624/">done</a> by Dior six years ago (the Dior has a fine silver shimmer running through it; Eugenia at Ommorphia Beauty Bar saw shimmer in her Chanel bottle, but I don't have it in mine). Second is that it's a bit too thick to flow evenly on the nail and give a nice, smooth, transformative effect. I can see this being cool for talented people to do nail art mimicking black lace, but <i>really<b> </b></i>is the average Chanel customer really going to be doing much nail art? I kind of doubt it. And, third is that if someone wanted to create this polish they could make a better version of it with $1.98 worth of Wet n Wild polish - just grab a bottle of black and a bottle of clear and franken that polish up! So, I'm not impressed. This is 4 thin coats and you get a soft black jelly effect on the nails. I can see why they didn't make it thinner because then it would flood the nail more easily, but this would also have made it easier to even the layers out before they started forming ridges.<br />

You can see I accidentally did thinner layers on my middle finger. But I couldn't add more without the polish gumming up and streaking horribly.<br />

Layering Black Métamorphosis over #546 is definitely the best combination this collection offers. You can still see some unevenness, but it's not terrible. This is a very drying blood color - might be cool on Halloween. But again, you can mix up this type of polish for less than $2.<br />
<br />
You can find more swatches at <a href="http://ommorphiabeautybar.com/chanel-%C2%B7-le-vernis-coco-codes-collection-spring-2017/">Ommorphia Beauty Bar</a> and <a href="http://thebeautylookbook.com/2017/01/chanel-coco-codes-spring-2017.html">The Beauty Look Book</a> (Blanc White and Beige Beige).<br />
<br />
Not exactly a Veruca Salt collection, if you know what I mean ("I want it now!"), but serviceable. Did you pick anything up?<br />
<br />
And because my resolution this year is to be a force for positive change - however small, don't forget this Wednesday, March 8 during Women's History Month, people are demonstrating A Day Without a Woman. There is more information about this on the <a href="https://www.womensmarch.com/womensday/">Women's March</a> site and an article discussing this strike on <a href="http://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/3/14721468/international-womens-day-strike-a-day-without-a-woman-march-8">Vox</a>. In a week where we've seen our new president make grave and despicable things up out of whole cloth once again, please consider showing him an irrefutable <i>truth</i>: "the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system--while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment, and job insecurity" and "that trans and gender nonconforming people face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression and political targeting" (Women's March). It's a sad statement that I could post a link connecting Donald Trump to each one of those acts. The truth matters. Goodness matters. Women matter.<br />

So, I started with this polish as a post-election mani. I went through it all with this post. All the things. All the links. All the articles. All the yells. All the swears. All the cries. We've gone through a lot since then. And where have we landed? We're two months in. Four months since women realized that no, we are <i>still</i> not equal, that feminism is still a dirty word to far more than half of the electoral map. Five months since we learned that sexual assault - although we already knew it could not keep our athletes or entertainers from their careers - was no longer a hinderance to attaining the nation's highest office. It's been months. We've gotten through it. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.<br />
<br />
Acceptance? No. NO. Never. NO.<br />
<br />
Happy Valentine's Day. Here's to all you Nasty Women. Go out and love yourself, love the people around you, love the people that truly make this country great.

Oh, you wanted to know about this dumb polish?<br />
<a name='more'></a>This is Tom Ford in Bitter Bitch. I bought this years ago purely for the name because I knew there would be a day when it would not suit me only partly but totally and completely. And, oh boy, did that day come. This is part of Tom Ford's initial collection launch in Winter 2011, and I can't say that there's much to recommend it except for the name. I used 3 thin coats. You could definitely do 2 thicker coats, and probably get away with 2 thinner coats but my hands were a little shaky the night I did this mani, so I had some bald spots I needed to go over.<br />

Bitter Bitch is a deep reddish brown creme. It's a pretty color, but the formula isn't exceptional, and it dulls down really quickly. Every time I looked at my nails I pretty much wished I was wearing Chanel in <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/09/chanel-in-427-diabolic-comparisons.html">Diabolic</a> (but also, <i>maybe</i> you guys are getting this, but I was in a fucking foul mood at this time).</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Tom Ford brush also felt a little floppier than I prefer. It wasn't a mop, but for a deep color like this, I like my brush to be a little more soldierly. The square cap pulls off, but I also didn't like the cap underneath. I've compared it to two different caps I prefer below. The Chanel cap is the same length as TF but wider and only one width, which makes it easy for my fingers to grip and maneuver. The Illamasqua is longer than the TF and also has two widths, but gives room at both levels for your fingers to rest, so you can grip it like you would a pen or pencil. Because the TF cap has such a shallow top level on the cap, I felt a lack of control when holding it, which combined with the slightly less stiff brush made application a mediocre experience.</div>

The over cap is also not made so that is slots perfectly evenly with the planes of the bottle. You can see the differences in comparison with the Chanel and Illamasqua caps. Keep in mind that this is an old bottle of Tom Ford; perhaps the design has been revamped since 2011. The Chanel over cap has panels so that the cap automatically clicks into place - there is no way you can put the cap on so that it lies unevenly with the planes of the bottle. The llamasqua over cap has ridges that interlock with the ridges on the brush cap, so even if the over cap is uneven with the plane of the bottle, you can twist the cap until it is even. The Tom Ford over cap has four ridges at 90 degrees (they are very hard to see), and it doesn't always result in the cap lining up correctly with the bottle. For a bottle that's more expensive than Chanel and far less collectible, not very impressive. The bottle <i>is</i> glass though, and weighty, which is more than you can say for the Burberry bottles. However, I won't buy any more Tom Ford unless the color is spectacular.</div>

Apologies, I couldn't get super sharp pictures for my comparison shots. <b>Deborah Lippmann in Maneater</b> is deeper and a jelly finish. <b>Chanel in #437 Forbidden</b> is a bit lighter with more purple. <b>Chanel in #469 Imperial </b>is lighter with a bit more purple. <b>MAC in Rich, Dark, Delicious</b> is a cooler brown. By the way, since I mentioned Diabolic earlier, it is much more red and more vampy (deeper).<br />

Finally, this Valentine's Day there are many events as part of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/revolutionarylove/">#RevolutionaryLove</a>: <br />

Love is the commitment to extend our will for the flourishing of others, opponents, and ourselves.

It's that time again: VOTE! Get your butt to the polls, and make your voice heard. It matters. This is a right and a privilege so simple, so intrinsic to the United States - but it's one that some people still don't have. It's a right that people have died for. It's what we built this country on: our unalienable right to enact change when it is needed. Less than 100 years ago women in the U.S. did not have the right to vote. Only 51 years ago, barriers made it almost impossible for minorities in some areas of the U.S. to vote. There are deep wrongs in our country right now, deep and disturbing divides. But, we have made progress. And to continue that progress, you need to vote. Please. Vote.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, let's have a look at a polish I haven't seen get much attention. This is Marc Jacobs in #212 Surrender Dorothy, released for Spring 2016. Marc Jacobs released a few polishes for the permanent collection this spring that weren't exactly grouped in with the pastels I <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/07/marc-jacobs-202-sundays-cool-204-good.html">posted</a> earlier, and this was one of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Surrender Dorothy is a rosy red glitter including small hexagonal glitters and microglitters in a clear base - the same composition as Marc Jacobs in #148 Glinda. It builds up pretty well because the microglitter fills in the gaps between the slightly larger small glitter; this is 3 thin coats with 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The formula is good for a glitter, not thick and gloopy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do find this to be an odd color for a Dorothy-inspired polish - although this does make it more unique in the realm of "<a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2009/12/ruby-red-polish-comparisons.html">ruby slipper</a>" polishes. It does better match the color the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-finearts-wizardofoz-idUSTRE78L66O20110922">actual shoes</a> from the movie have faded to, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't really like this color on its own, so I decided to layer it over Sinful Colors in Haute Koffee (swatched on its own <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/09/sinful-colors-in-haute-koffee.html">here</a>).</div>

Surrender Dorothy has a few possible origins that might connect with Marc Jacobs. Most obvious is Marc Jacobs's love of <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>: his Spring/Summer 2015 collection had a <a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/09/12/article-urn:publicid:ap.org:02fd035113974d31926e072fc42bbcd3-6SWMqR9mJ-HSK1-499_634x422.jpg">set</a> <a href="http://www.achtung-mode.com/marc-jacobs-new-york-ss-2015-military-marc-delivers-manhattans-best-show-and-drops-a-pink-house/">inspired by </a>Dorothy's house, he has used "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in both his <a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/19046/1/exclusive-marc-jacobs-on-his-jessica-lange-obsession">beauty campaign</a> featuring Jessica Lange and his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw8HuDXZmJI">Autumn/Winter 2010</a> <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/shows/autumn-winter-2010-ready-to-wear/marc-jacobs/">RTW</a>, he has named other items in his beauty line after the film, he was guest judge on an <a href="http://tomandlorenzo.com/2016/04/pop-style-opinionfest-a-duchess-7-queens-2-bitches-rupaul-drag-race-duchess-cambridge-outlander/">episode</a> of <i>RuPaul's Drag Race</i> with a <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> theme, and he designed a Wicked Witch of the West doll to commemorate the film's 75th anniversary (see <a href="http://fashiondollchronicles.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-leading-ladies-of-wizard-of-oz.html">here</a> for other designers' dolls).<br />

Surrender Dorothy also has significance in the LGBT community. I would expect that anyone of my generation probably learned of the phrase "friend of Dorothy" from <i>Clueless</i>. Surrender Dorothy was also the name of a <a href="https://www.nypl.org/blog/2014/01/06/government-has-blood-its-hands-aids-death">group</a> that was part of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) in the '80s. Finally, <i>Surrender Dorothy</i> is a cult <a href="http://www.ebertfest.com/one/dorothy_rev.htm">film</a>. The more you know!<br />
<br />
As I mentioned earlier, the color of this polish was a little insipid for me, so I decided to see how it would look layered over something vampy. I used 1 coat of Surrender Dorothy over 2 coats of Sinful Colors in Haute Koffee, plus 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite to give a glossy finish. I liked this effect much better.<br />

I don't have any polishes that are the same color as Surrender Dorothy. It's definitely darker than those typical pink glitters, such as Deborah Lippmann in <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifGAtvtWA7opUkDw3PcAyzKDKfqGOIY8kMSbU_YtQclM51DhgYH-n2Hha5BTG-m_hHiWylF6DHwYFEzHmeKWB4jtLDChgap85sg7I4S3qQUhP7Seyk017K2Ha_IWyRJo1bNIwqbedCmw/s1600/someenchantedevening.jpg">Some Enchanted Evening</a>. But it's not a true red like the other red glitters I own.<br />

Here's one apropos for the shift into the fall season. Today's polish is one of my favorites from the Kylie Jenner/Sinful Colors collaborations. This is Haute Koffee, a gorgeous vampy berry shimmer with a matte finish and that glow-from-within. I am a huge fan of shimmery matte polishes, and I'm a sucker for vampy colors, so this one is a home run for me. And it's only $2.99! The formula is perfect, it doesn't dry too quickly, so you don't get any ridges, and it's just the right consistency. I used 2 thin coats.<br />
<br />
Haute Koffee was released with the Summer 2016 "Trend MATTErs - Pure Satin Mattes" collection. According to SC's website, this collection is still available at select Target and Walgreens stores. In my Target, they've been replaced by the Halloween collection. But they are still available at <a href="https://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=sinfulcolors">Walgreens.com</a>.<br />

You can see I'm a big fan of these colors! <b>Maybelline in Matte Ruby [with top coat]</b> is a more red version of Haute Koffee with silver microglitter. It is an old polish with a very clumpy formula - would not recommend. <b>Deborah Lippmann in Bitches Brew</b> is also more red and has a smoother shimmer finish. <b>Chanel in #18 Vamp</b> is a bit deeper but very similar in color with a smoother shimmer finish. <b>Marc Jacobs in #186 Wine Not</b> is a bit lighter and more purple with a slightly pearly finish. <b>Chanel in #637 Malice</b> is the most similar in color; both it and Haute Koffee have a deep blue-purple base with red shimmer, but Malice has a smoother shimmer to give it even more of that glow-from-within effect. <b>BB Couture in Napa Valley Red </b>and <b>Dior in #995 Minuit</b> are deeper with more purple; Napa Valley Red has glitter in a jelly base and Minuit has shimmer in a jelly base. <b>Misa in #293 Uptown Glamour</b>, which is a dupe for OPI in Every Month is Oktoberfest, is also a deep blue-purple base with red shimmer, but it is deeper with less prominent shimmer. You can't go wrong with any of these colors (my least favorite are Matte Ruby and Vamp).</div>

Last month I was sent some products from Sephora's Formula X line. I've been testing out the Formula X <a href="http://www.sephora.com/the-system-xcel-customizable-gel-like-nail-polish-set-P410894?skuId=1833201&icid2=formulax_system_carousel:p410894">System XCEL</a> against my favorite products, and today I'm going to show you the results.<br />
The System XCEL features 4 products: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/cleanse-xcel-nail-cleanser-P410891?skuId=1833219&icid2=products%20grid:p410891">CLEANSE XCEL</a> Nail Cleanser, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/prime-xcel-nail-base-coat-P410893?skuId=1833227&icid2=products%20grid:p410893">PRIME XCEL</a> Base Coat, SHINE XCEL Top Coat, and the polish of your choice - I received <a href="http://www.sephora.com/the-colors-nail-polish-P382111?skuId=1772581&icid2=products%20grid%3Ap382111">TGIF</a>. This set retails for $32, which Sephora lists as a $44 value, but the value can be higher or lower depending on which Formula X polish you choose (the price is $32 no matter the polish). I was also sent the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/delete-all-5-finger-nail-polish-remover-P403717?skuId=1765882&icid2=formulax_lp_bestsellers_carousel:p403717">Delete All 5-Finger Nail Polish Remover</a>, which retails for $15.<br />

First, I have to say that I am probably not the person to test a nail polish system for wear, since I don't have any issues with longevity. But, I did put these products to a rigorous test! You can see the product claims below.<br />

The polish included with this system was TGIF, a bright light coral creme. It's super bright but not neon - it's a color I would never have picked for myself, but I liked it on me. Application was pretty good. I did 2 medium coats because the formula had a tendency to drag and form ridges if I didn't float the brush.<br />
<br />
So, on my left hand, I used the Formula X System XCEL. The first step in this system is removing excess oils with the CLEANSE XCEL. I can't find the list of ingredients for this product, but the scent really reminds me of the Cutex Remover I used to use in junior high - I think it was a non-acetone remover. The ingredients Sephora's website highlights are witch hazel, cucumber extract, and safflower seed oil. Personally, I don't find this to be a necessary step, I just wash my hands and scrub my nails with a nail brush before polishing. And, I know some people with drier, more brittle nails find that oiling their nails actually preps them best for long wear! So, YMMV as to how useful this step in the system is.<br />
<br />
The second step in the system is PRIME XCEL Base Coat. Again, I couldn't find an ingredients list, but Sephora highlights Keratin and "Advanced Bonding Agents". It didn't seem like a sticky base coat, which I prefer, but it worked, and it didn't stain my nails (like Orly Bonder does).<br />
<br />
After using TGIF, I topped with the SHINE XCEL. Sephora has two different SHINE top coats listed on their site, but neither are XCEL, so I don't know if this product can be purchased separately. This is a fast dry top coat, and it is nice and thin, but it bubbled on me. I get bubbling from any nail polish if I don't wear quick-dry top coat, but the quick-dry top coat usually prevents the bubbles from forming, so I was surprised to see this. I had done a fairly thin coat of top coat since it was so thin, but when I saw the bubbling I went over with a thicker layer of top coat to see if that would get rid of them, but it didn't. You can see the bubbles on my index and middle fingers (if you can't, click the picture to enlarge). From a distance, I don't think they were noticeable, but from my arm's distance I could see them, and it annoyed me.<br />

On my right hand, I did my normal routine, washing my hands with soap and scrubbing my nails quickly with a nail brush. For my base coat I used my go-to CND Stickey; for top coat I used my favorite, Seche Vite. You can see that there were bubbles on these nails - and I was using a past-halfway-empty bottle of Seiche Vite, so it had gotten a bit goopy and thick.</div>

Here is my left hand (the Formula X System XCEL hand) after 10 days. You can see nail growth and a bit of tip wear, but it's nothing really noticeable. These pictures are not color-accurate because I was taking photos as the sun set, so the lighting was quite harsh.</div>

And, here's my right hand (the Stickey & Seche Vite hand) after 10 days. I will mention that this is my dominant hand, so it undergoes more rigorous wear than my left. Among routine tasks, I also picked off a bunch of labels from some items I bought - why? WHY do they make it so hard to take labels off!!! Again, these are not color accurate pictures.</div>

I'm afraid, I didn't see a difference in wear between the two "systems." If you have trouble with wear, I don't know if this will increase your wear time, since it didn't for me. On the other hand, polish wears very well on me (I ended up getting busy and wearing this manicure for 20 days total, with no additional significant signs of wear aside from nail growth), so it could help you. On Sephora's page, they list a 33 person (extremely small sample size) study that found </div>

I just don't get much wear. I think the price is pretty good for this set, so I would recommend it for those who are trying to get better wear out of their polishes, if you haven't found cheaper options that work. But, is this a revolutionary must-have product for me? Unfortunately, no. I do really enjoy the Formula X polishes, though!<br />
<br />
The final product I was sent is the Formula X Delete All 5-Finger Nail Polish Remover, which is a piece of foam in a jar, saturated with nail polish remover. This makes for very quick removal, and I know many people prefer this product to remove glitter polishes. I don't like to soak my fingers in acetone, so I prefer to use felt and Zoya Remove, and I use the foil method for glitter removal because that doesn't get acetone on my finger pads. This product is also <i>not</i> travel friendly. You must store it base-down because if it's placed on its side it will leak remover everywhere. You can get similar foam removers at drugstores, but I've included a picture of the ingredients list in case you want to see if there's anything special in this remover formula.<br />

Finally, here are comparisons for TGIF. I didn't have a polish similar (it is crazy how it seems this is what always happens even though my collection is far too big). China Glaze in Pink Plumeria freaked my camera out, so it is not color-accurate, but the other polishes are, excepting Chanel in #549 Distraction and Essie in Cute as a Button (both have more orange).</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I picked up the Fall 2016 "Le Rouge Collection N</span><sup style="font-family: inherit;">o</sup><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 1" polishes (swatches and comparisons </span><a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/08/chanel-in-528-rouge-puissant-530-rouge.html" style="font-family: inherit;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">), I also picked up the rest of the reds released in the permanent line this spring. I decided to wear the most summery red first. This is #510 Gitane, a bright medium cherry tomato red creme (in comparison to #473 Coromandel, swatches and comparisons </span><a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/08/chanel-in-473-coromandel-comparisons.html" style="font-family: inherit;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, which I would call a traditional tomato red). I don't find this type of red to be the most flattering on my skin tone - I prefer either a red-orange or a deeper, more blue-based red, but the formula and wear on this were impeccable. I used 2 thin coats because I like a more gel-like finish, but this polish was opaque in one. The formula was just slightly thick for my preference, but it went exactly were I placed it and self-leveled: no ridges, no pooling, no staining! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By the way, I am just using my usual Seiche Vite top coat with these, not the Chanel Le Gel Coat, since I already get great wear with these polishes, but Sabrina at The Beauty Look Book did <a href="http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2016/02/chanel-le-vernis-longwear-nail-color.html">mention</a> she found that top coat to increase wear time with poor performing polishes; she also found the new Le Vernis Longwear polish has better lasting power (I haven't found a difference, but I typically get 5-14 days with most polishes).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gitane translates to "gypsy woman," but Gitanes are also a popular brand of French cigarette. The packaging is blue and white, but I found a vintage poster from 1960 by Hervé Morvan featuring a similar red:</span><br />

Gitane is bright (which you can see in the first picture above) but not too bright (see the second picture above). I would say it's work-appropriate in all but the most conservative environments.<br />

Here are my comparisons to similar reds. <b>OPI in Red My Fortune Cookie</b> is brighter with more orange. <b>Chanel in #687 Phenix</b> is quite similar but has a little more orange; I don't think you need both (Gitane has a better formula). <b>Chanel in #717 Coquelicot</b> is also quite similar, but a little brighter and more neutral; again, I don't think you need both. <b>Chanel in #473 Coromandel</b> is deeper and doesn't have that brightness - more tomato to Gitane's cherry tomato - and it also has subtle shimmer. <b>Chanel in #38 Rouge Flamboyant</b> is a couple shades deeper and cooler - a neutral red creme. <b>Chanel in #677 Rouge Rubis</b> is cooler still than Rouge Flamboyant but similar in depth. In the two pictures below, I decreased the brightness and increased contrast to hopefully help you better see the differences.<br />

I ended up picking up 15 polishes from the Kylie Jenner collections for Sinful Colors - not because I wanted to support her (I'm indifferent), but because they are so cheap, and - let's face it - there were a lot of great colors. Today, I'm showing one of my favorites, Sinful Colors in Angelik, a very pale, slightly cool-toned pink with white-flashing-gold shimmer and a matte finish. In some lights, it's so pale it looks like a soft white. I've really been drawn to these delicate, pretty colors lately. This one looks great matte and with top coat to bring the shimmer out. The formula is a bit thinner than I prefer, but application was a breeze. Because it has a matte finish, it dries really quickly. I did 3 thin coats - no issues with ridges or unevenness.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was part of Sinful Colors's "Kylie Jenner Denim & Bling" collection for Summer 2016. SC & KJ released 3 different collections this summer: "Denim & Bling," "Trend MATTErs - Pure Satin Mattes," and "Trend MATTErs - Velvety Demi Mattes." And, you can see the cap of Angelik has "Trend Matters" printed on it, even though on their website and in their displays it was part of "Denim & Bling." Overall, these releases were a convoluted mess - some polishes were available at Walgreens or Target exclusively, and my Walgreens stores never received them. I got some at Target, but the majority I purchased online on Walgreens.com. They are still available <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=sinfulcolors">there</a> (I don't see them in stores anymore), and there's a promo code for 25% off regular priced beauty and personal care products using GLOWOUT at checkout (expires at 11:59 p.m. CST on August 27), if you're interested. The page I've linked shows all the Sinful Colors <span style="font-family: inherit;">collections, and if you're looking for Angelik, it's listed under the "Trend MATTErs Collection Shimmer Mattes" link. <span style="background-color: white;">🙄 Also, the Sinful Colors website has a store finder for each Kylie collection <a href="http://www.sinfulcolors.com/kylie/wheretobuy">here</a> if you want to go out and hunt.</span></span></div>

I've chosen pictures that show both the white and pink tones of the polish. You can see the shimmer is nice and delicate - it reminds me of Powder Puff, a great matte white shimmer that Revlon came out with in 2010.<br />
<br />
Here it is with top coat:<br />

I didn't have anything really similar in my collection. (It's scary how much that ends up happening given how big my collection is.) <b>Marc Jacobs in #162 Blanche</b> is an ivory with white pearl. <b>Nicole by OPI in Kim-pletely in Love</b> is a sheerer jelly polish, a bit warmer pink, and has the same type of shimmer as Angelik, but more sparse and white-flashing-blue. <b>OPI in You Callin Me a Lyre</b> is very similar in color to Kim-pletely in love but slightly warmer, a sheer light pink-peach jelly with no shimmer. <b>Marc Jacobs in #206 Resurrection</b> is a peach-pink creme, a bit cooler and deeper than Angelik.</div>
<br />
I found swatches to compile my shopping list on Phoebe Moon's YouTube channel. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaqjZ_5tbxQ">Here's</a> the video for the "Denim and Bling" collection.<br />
<br />
So, do you like Angelik? And, of course, most importantly: could you ever buy something Kardashian-adjacent? <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "segoe ui emoji";">🤔</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "segoe ui emoji";">🙄</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "segoe ui emoji";">😁</span></div>

Last month I got the urge to wear a duochrome, so I threw it way back and pulled out OPI in Movin' Out. This antique is from the Holiday 2003 "Holiday on Broadway" collection that also included the vintage classics Man of La Mancha, Mamma Mia, La Boheme, Thoroughly Modern Milli, Rent, Opening Night Gold, and SRO (Standing Room Only) Silver. OPI used to do special polishes so right! Not these lumpy glitter metallics we've been offered recently.<br />
<br />
Movin' Out is a sheer polish; it couldn't be built up to cover the nail line at 4 coats - and you wouldn't want to anyway because the duochrome really pops when layered. The shimmer particles in this one aren't used much anymore - they're slightly larger and more scattered, and they really glow and stand out in the light. These particles pigments are mixed into a sheer light pink cool-toned base. Some people compare the pigment to Clarins 230 (swatched <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/05/clarins-in-230.html">here</a>), but the effect is definitely less vampy because of the base used in Movin' Out. Layered over a similar base, the effect is subtle; you mostly catch the larger shimmer and a gold shift. But over deeper colors, there's an ever shifting array of gold, rose gold, teal, forest green, lime green, olive, blue, and purple that comes out - very reminiscent of the rainbow effect you can see on beetles.<br />

And, there's the subtle shift - primarily gold, but green at the edges out of direct light. The sparkly shimmer particles help keep this particular type of old school shimmer finish from looking too dated.<br />

I'm actually not a huge collector of duochromes. I pick up the odd one here or there, but no indies (too much to keep up with!), and the majority I have I got back when Scrangie was swatching, so they're mostly vintage OPI, Nubar, and China Glaze. Movin' Out isn't too hard to find, and the markup isn't outrageous, so there's still hope for anyone with a lemming.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: left;">The Fall 2016 "Le Rouge Collection N</span><sup style="text-align: left;">o</sup><span style="text-align: left;"> 1" marks the first collection with Chanel's new Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer, Lucia Pica. Previously, Chanel Beauty was led by Creative Director Peter Philips, and since his departure for Dior in 2013, the collections haven't had a specified director. Of her debut collection, Pica says, "</span><span style="text-align: left;">Red is a pillar color for Chanel. So, it sort of made sense for me to start somewhere very familiar and very important for the brand. Really what I wanted to do was to explore the meaning of a color, and what's behind this color. How does this color make you feel, and how does this color make you think? And, I thought that an interesting way of showing this would be to show my process of inspiration. Because it was about one color, I decided to make a book and a video with a collective of people that I have a relationship with and that [</span><i style="text-align: left;">sic</i><span style="text-align: left;">] really understand my vision. This collection is very much about the power of femininity, and its strength, its vulnerability, i<span style="font-family: inherit;">ts sensuality. Me, I'm a woman, and I'm talking to women by creating this collection, so I wanted to do something that represents what women are in terms of color. Mademoiselle Chanel used to say, 'Put your red lipstick on and attack!' which I find very inspiring as a woman." You can see a bit more from this brief promo below:</span></span></span></div>

However, these are two polishes seem to represent Pica's emphasis on making a strong statement through makeup that is bold, simple, and modern. I will include more information on Pica, her inspiration for this collection, and her palette for the next collection at the end of this post, but for now, let's get in to swatches and comparisons.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had to make the previous photos a little darker to correctly portray #528 Rouge Puissant because the white balance on my camera kept lightening the color. Rouge Puissant, which translates to "powerful red," is a deep mid-tone neutral red creme. The formula on this one is impeccable. If you do a thicker coat, you could definitely get away with 1 coat. Of course, I did 2 thin coats. I played with adding a third, but it didn't add any more depth to the color. I used base coat, and over the 4 days I wore this, I didn't have any staining. This is a gorgeous red that is super flattering on my skin tone, and since it's neutral, I can't imagine who it wouldn't look great on. I don't have a dupe in my collection; however, since I seriously started collecting Chanel polishes, I haven't picked up any reds outside the brand that didn't seem really special. So, despite not having them in my collection, I am positive there is a dupe somewhere in OPI and Essie's vaults. Still, I'm glad to own this one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is Chanel's current lineup of reds (only Rouge Radical is limited edition). My version of <b>#08 Pirate</b> is from the old Le Vernis line; it is a cool red jelly that's a close dupe for OPI in Vodka & Caviar. <b>#508 Shantung</b> is a slightly pink-toned red creme. It's hard to tell from these pictures, but Rouge Puissant is significantly deeper. <b>#500 Rouge Essentiel</b> is the same depth as Shantung but is a slightly brick red creme. <b>#510 Gitane</b> is a bright tomato red creme. <b>#530 Rouge Radical</b> is a bright orange-red jelly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">#530 Rouge Radical is a bright red-orange jelly. Given how much you can see the brush in the bottle, I thought this would be very sheer, but it built up well in 2 medium coats. You could barely see my nail line, but on my swatch stick I added a third coat, and it didn't deepen the opacity at all, so I think those with longer nails will see some free edge through this one. The formula flowed really nicely for a jelly - it wasn't thick or goopy, and it self-leveled well. I used a base coat and got no staining. I did get some bubbling, but this happens for me with all jellies, so I don't think it's an issue with the formula, just my body chemistry.</span><br />

Supermodel seems to be discontinued, but it's still available on <a href="http://beauty.com/">Beauty.com</a> (which will be <a href="http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2016/07/breaking-beauty-news-walgreens-to-shut.html">shuttered</a> by end of September). <b>#717 Coquelicot</b> is a slightly deeper creme version of Rouge Radical.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">From an aesthetic point of view, I find Pica's style really lovely. But, I'm not sure I'm picking up what she's putting down in the nail polish department. The interstitial between Fall and Holiday 2016, seems to be "Libre 2016 Synthetic de Chanel" (apologies, this is what I'm gathering from my faulty Russian translation). You can see product shots on @kavalerievna's Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kavalerievna/">page</a>. From the looks of it, we're getting a pink creme (possibly with a satin finish?), a pink shimmery jelly, and a silver metallic. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white;">😕 </span></span></span></span><br />

I'm finally getting around to swatching the Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 collection. I've slowly collected the majority of MJ polishes, and the names here appealed to me, so I snatched them up. The brand went with a seemingly typical pastel assortment, but I actually don't have any duplicates in my collection!<br />

#202 Sunday's Cool is one of my favorites from this collection. It's a sort of dusty periwinkle creme - the most blue-leaning a purple can go before become blue. In some lighting it actually does look blue, but the majority of the time it's purple. Some cool purples can make my warm skin look sallow, but this was flattering on me. I used 2 thin coats - formula was good but don't fuss with it too much or you'll get ridges.<br />

<b>Essie in Rock the Boat</b> is a more typical baby blue with silver sparkles. <b><a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2013/04/chanel-in-sky-line.html">Chanel in Sky Line</a></b> is a frosty sky blue with a bit of purple and it's a frost. <b>Sinful Colors in Magik Touch </b>[<i>sic</i>; this is Kylie Jenner polish *cringe*, hence the 'k'] is close to Sunday's Cool, but it's a matte finish polish with a touch more blue and a silver shimmer. <b>American Apparel in L'Esprit</b> is a bit warmer and deeper, but pretty similar, although it's long discontinued and probably hard to find. <b>SpaRitual in Lucid</b> is a deeper slightly dustier version of Sunday's Cool. <b>Sinful Colors in Kurtsey</b> (yes, I went kind of H.A.M. with the Kylie polishes, but they were so cheap!) is warmer, deeper, and has silver shimmer - it's supposed to have a satin finish, but I found it dried pretty shiny.<br />

Marc Jacobs #204 Good Friday is a slightly yellow-toned, mint green creme. The formula on this was slightly thick and brushstroke-y, so I used 3 thin coats. If you added some nail polish thinner, I think you could pull off 2 coats.<br />

I own a <i>ton</i> of mint green polishes, but didn't have anything close. There might be an Essie I've missed along the way, but I was surprised I didn't have a closer match. <b>Essie in Mint Candy Apple</b> is darker with more blue, and I would never classify it as dusty - but in comparison to Good Friday it almost looks it. <b>Nicole by OPI in Hint of Mint</b> is darker, a bit warmer, and with gold shimmer. <b>Essie in Absolutely Shore</b> is more yellow and a bit darker; again, it looks almost dusty in comparison with Good Friday.<br />

#206 Resurrection was another one of my favorites. It's a warm pale pink creme. It's one of those colors that makes you look "polished" - no pun intended. The formula on this was slightly thick and streaky. I used 3 thin coats. I think even if you thinned it you would still likely need 3 because of the streakiness.<br />

<b>Chanel in #625 Secret </b>is a peachy nude; it's darker and more yellow. <b>Chanel in #543 Frisson</b> is darker and more pink with a jelly finish and gold shimmer. <b>Chanel in #167 Ballerina</b> is pretty close in color, but it's a sheer polish, so your natural nail color will show through a bit and the effect is softer and less stark. <b>OPI in You Callin' Me a Lyre?</b> is a bit darker, and it's also a sheer polish, so it gives a softer appearance on the nail.<br />

#208 Peep is a slightly cool light pink creme. Sorry, these photos are a little wonky looking - I had to majorly color edit them to show true-to-color. This isn't a color I normally go for, but I did actually like it on. The formula was definitely too thick for me. I added thinner and did 2 thin coats. As I mentioned, I don't own many polishes in this color family, but for reference, OPI in Mod About You is lighter and cooler. From pictures, OPI in Pink Friday might be close.<br />

This comparison is just for context, since I don't own anything similar. The only color close in this batch is <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/07/chanel-in-495-mica-rose-comparisons.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Chanel in #475 Mica Rose</a>, which<b> </b>is a bit warmer with white pearly shimmer.<br />

#210 Confession is a mid-tone blue-leaning grey creme. My skin tone brings out the warmer aspects of this color, but it is one of my bluest greys (prior to this I always thought of Rescue Beauty Lounge in Stormy as quite a blue grey). You can see these tones more out of direct sunlight. I'm a big grey fan, and this is no exception. 2 thin coats, great formula.<br />

<b>China Glaze in Concrete Catwalk</b> is more warm-toned and quite a bit deeper. <b>Nubar in Stronghold</b> is warmer and deeper. <b>Arielle in U-Concrete-Me</b> is warmer and a bit deeper. <b>Nubar in Palisade</b> is cooler and lighter. <b>RGB in Steel</b> is more green-leaning and a bit lighter. <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Stormy</b> is warmer and a bit lighter (the differences are more apparent in the sunlight picture).<br />

Do any of these polishes catch your eye? Whenever I see pastels in spring collections, I think of Miranda Priestly in <i>The Devil Wears Prada</i>: "Florals? For spring? Ground breaking." But I do really like Marc Jacobs' take on them.<br />

As I mentioned in my Chanel Summer 2016 <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/06/chanel-in-524-turban-526-cavaliere-532.html">post</a>, Chanel in #518 Chaîne Or - released as part of the permanent collection this spring - seems to have disappeared from all online retailers except <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418051&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446938596&R=3145891595123&P_name=CHANEL&N=4294907777+306418051+306610926&bmUID=lkKQn_B">Saks Fifth Avenue</a>. I don't know whether it has been phased out of the permanent line, or there is a production delay or something and it will be re-stocked. So if you want to be safe, it's time to snatch it up now. </div>

Chaîne Or is a pretty standard yellow gold metallic with subtle shimmers that catch the light. It does show some brushstrokes (although not horrific), so I did 2 thin coats and sponged on a third. I think that third coat is necessary however you apply this polish, otherwise you can get some sheerer patches. The formula - apart from the brushstrokes - is very good. Not particularly special, and it isn't a travesty if it's been pulled from the permanent collection, but a solid, well-performing polish.</div>

I have been slowly picking up the re-launched Le Vernis line, and so far so good. Sabrina at The Beauty Look Book has a more thorough <a href="http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2016/02/chanel-le-vernis-longwear-nail-color.html">rundown</a> comparing the differences between the new and old lines (the brush is wider but still traditionally shaped, and she found the lasting power improved). I haven't fully tested for wear, but I have never had problems with chipping from my Chanel polishes, and that remains true for the new line, which is marketed as Longwear Nail Colour. I like the brush quite a bit and thing most people will welcome the change: for patchier shades especially, it helps with application, and I don't have trouble maneuvering the brush around my cuticles. I had one issue with the brush for <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/06/chanel-in-524-turban-526-cavaliere-532.html#more">#536 Émeraude</a>, where the bristles wouldn't spread out fully when I put pressure on them. This meant I had to do a bit of cleanup to get close to my cuticles, but I haven't experienced that issue for any of the other new polishes. For those concerned about chemical formulas, these new polishes are 5-free.</div>

Because I am not very into yellow golds on my skin tone, I have limited number of polishes to compare for you. I'm sure there is a metallic gold that could dupe Chaîne Or.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>China Glaze in Cowardly Lyin'</b> is lighter and more yellow; it's a metallic with gold glitter. <b>Chanel in Gold Fingers</b> has more orange, but it's similar enough not to need Chaîne Or; it's a jelly base packed with shimmer particles. <b>Wet n Wild Craze in Goldmine</b> is pretty similar, but it's a shimmer finish rather than metallic. <b>OPI in Oy-Another Polish Joke!</b> is a bit more yellow; it's a clear base packed with gold shimmer particles.

For reference, here is Chaîne Or compared to some other Chanel golds: <b>Chanel in #440 Gold Lamé</b> (more red, smoother base), <b>Chanel in Gold Fiction</b> (more bronze, smoother base), and <b><a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2016/06/chanel-in-524-turban-526-cavaliere-532.html">Chanel in #532 Canotier</a></b> (cooler, more green).</div>

An already marginalized group targeted in their safe space during a time to celebrate LGBTQ life. That we, as a nation, have let the issues of gun violence and homophobia get this out of control... absolutely disgusting. Fuck the NRA. Fuck politicians who don't do what's right and protect their constituents. Fuck assault rifles.

Have Chanel's beauty releases seemed a bit confused to you ever since Peter Philips's departure? The Holiday collection was a bit mixed up, and with this summer collection there has been different information filtered through various press releases. The Chanel website lists this collection as "Dans La Lumière de l'Été" ("In the Light of Summer"), but other sites have it named "Les Souffles du Desert" ("Desert Breezes"). And, I believe #524 Turban was added to the collection after it had already been released on <a href="http://chanel.com/">Chanel.com</a> and <a href="http://nordstrom.com/">Nordstrom.com</a>. It took forever to appear on Neiman's (online and in-store). Some press materials have #526 Cavalier listed as limited-edition, but as far as I can tell from the Chanel website, it's not. I will be interested to see what's to come in Fall/Holiday, as that's when the new global creative makeup and color designer, <a href="http://www.vogue.com/13357692/lucia-pica-makeup-artist-chanel-beauty/">Lucia Pica</a>, will begin to make her mark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In any case, there are five polishes in this collection. Let's get in to swatches and comparisons.</div>

#524 Turban is a bright coral creme. It's a true coral - it falls just in the middle of pink and orange. I did two thin coats. I think most people would find this formula good, but I prefer my polishes less thick than is average, so I ended up adding a bit of nail polish thinner to the bottle - otherwise it was hard for me to get so close to my cuticles without forming ridges in the polish. I really liked this one, though I'm sure there are dupes.<br />

It's a bit hard to tell because of how bright the sunlight is, but <b>Rescue Beauty Lounge in Coral</b> and <b>Misa in Bop Til You Drop</b> are lighter (and the Misa has subtle shimmer). In the bottle, I thought Turban and <b>Chanel in #621 Tutti Frutti</b> were dupes except for the shimmer factor, but Tutti Frutti is a bit deeper and more pink (and has subtle gold shimmer). I don't think you need both, though!</div>

#526 Cavalière (which means horsewoman) is a brown creme with gold shimmer. It's deeper than a mid-tone brown, but not deep enough to look black in low light. It leans a bit warm but is pretty neutral. The shimmer isn't the classic Chanel subtle shimmer, but it's not in-your-face either. Nothing too exciting to me, but I didn't have a dupe in my collection. I did 3 thin coats. You could definitely do 2 medium coats, but with 2 thin coats, there was a bit of unevenness near my cuticle on some nails.<br />

<b>Chanel in #247 Haute Chocolat</b> is a bit cooler with more apparent gold shimmer. <b>Barielle in Make It a Latte</b> has slightly more yellow and has a copper/gold pearl. <b>Revlon in Autumn Spice</b> is a much more shimmery version of Cavalière (and it's also scented).<br />

#532 Canotier (which means boater hat) is a cool-toned gold metallic. It has green, red, silver, and gold subtle shimmer. It doesn't show egregious brushstrokes (you can see them below on my swatch stick), but I sponged my final coat on the nails. I did 2 thin coats, plus the sponged on coat - for opacity you only need 2 coats. This kind of gold is flattering on my skin tone, so I'm happy to have it.<br />
<br />
As an aside, I originally thought Canotier was a re-release of the gold polish they launched the new Le Vernis line with, but that's actually #518 Chaîne Or, which is a yellow gold. For those of you that were interested in Chaîne Or, as far as I can tell, it has been pulled from the permanent line - the only place I was able to locate it was on Saks Fifth Avenue's <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418051&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446938596&R=3145891595123&P_name=CHANEL&N=4294907777+306418051+306610926&bmUID=lkKQn_B">site</a> (by the way, this is one of the only sites I've found that still has some of the previous line <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418051&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446525219&R=3145891596311&P_name=CHANEL&N=4294907777+306418051+306610926&bmUID=lkKQn_J">here</a>).<br />

It is in no way groundbreaking, but the absolute standout of this collection for me is #534 Espadrilles. It is a punchy red orange creme - the furthest you can take orange before it becomes an orange red. I love it. The formula on this one was impeccable - 2 thin coats. I'm sure there are plenty of dupes but with a color this good that's okay.<br />

My camera did not want to distinguish between these colors, by the way. <b>Deborah Lippmann in Don't Stop Believin'</b> is a bit more subdued, less vibrant, and lighter. <b>Chanel in #617 Holiday</b> has less red and is a smidge lighter. Just for reference, I included <b>Chanel in #717 Coquelicot</b>, which is an orange red; it's deeper and has more red.</div>

#536 Émeraude is a forest green creme with gold shimmer. It has green, gold, and red subtle shimmer. This is the same type of polish as Cavalière, not a super shimmery polish, but not a hidden shimmer. I did 2 thin coats, and the formula was good. My brush was weird though - it wouldn't splay out when I put pressure on it unless the tip of the bristles were parallel with my nail, so it was a bit harder to apply than the formula would merit. I think the color family I own the most polishes of is green, so I was sure I would have something close in my stash. Nope. However, this one doesn't blow me away: it's nice.<br />

Overall, this is a nice collection that helps round out the permanent Le Vernis line. Surprisingly, the two boring old cremes are my favorites. What do you think?</div>

For Holiday 2015 Chanel has released a collection filled with gorgeous tributes to one of their most famous polishes, #18 Rouge Noir. The collection is available in piecemeal fashion in stores (I found mine at Neiman Marcus Fashion Island) and online. Unfortunately, the release has been a bit confused. From what I can gather, the collection is called "Rouge Noir Absolument" for European customers and includes the polish #18 Rouge Noir. Based on what is available for purchase so far in the U.S., I believe we are getting the collection "Vamp Attitude," which includes the polish #18 Vamp. But, I can't be positive because Chanel's PR team sent Temptalia Rouge Noir to review, not Vamp! This is even more confusing for many people unfamiliar with Chanel polishes because Vamp used to be the same polish as Rouge Noir when it was originally released in 1994 (the two names, I believe were used for the U.S. and European market respectively). However, Chanel re-launched Vamp in 2003 under the same name, but with a completely different formula! Even more confusing to me is why they're now acting like Rouge Noir should only be for the European market, since they've re-released it many times in the U.S. since 1994 (most recently last year, if I recall correctly). In any case, both polishes are an important part of Chanel history, but it's a shame if Rouge Noir is not available for this release celebrating that very history, especially since I prefer it to Vamp. With that convoluted discussion out of the way, I should mention the other two polishes in this collection are #757 Rose Fusion and Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir Gold Sparkle Nail Coat.<br />

I kept the pictures to a minimum for the sake of (relative) brevity, but this is seriously one of my absolute favorite polishes of all time. It has history, sentimental value, and plain gorgeousness in one glossy, vampy package. Yes, I'm sure there are similar cheaper dupes, but for the many years I've owned it, every time I get it out it's a stunner. I have never failed to receive multiple compliments on #18 Rouge Noir whenever I wear it out. It is a deep oxblood crelly with a perfect formula. Even with a slightly wonky, bushier than normal brush, I have to do minimal clean up - and for a vampy polish you know that's impressive. I did 2 medium coats here, and in direct sunlight you can see a bit of unevenness at macro. However, I like the color here, and it's not noticeable in person. There is no top coat in these pictures! I bought Rouge Noir many many years ago, but it is a Chanel classic, and I'm sure that it will eventually be re-released in the U.S., so keep your eyes out. To me, it is absolutely worth it. (I did see that <a href="http://www.izzysbeautyshoppe.com/chanel_vernis_nail_polish_18_new.html">Izzy's Beauty Shoppe</a> has it for a slight markup, if you're desperate. I have purchased from them before and found them reliable.)<br />

The closest polish I have to Rouge Noir is another discontinued favorite of mine from Chanel, #427 Diabolic. I couldn't get my camera to capture them correctly this time, so I will refer you back to comparisons I did in my post for <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/09/chanel-in-427-diabolic-comparisons.html">Diabolic</a>.<br />

I'm sorry that the cuticle on my pinky looks bloody, but it isn't. I swatched #18 Vamp after Rouge Noir, and when I removed Rouge Noir, I could not get the polish to get off that cuticle. I spent like 20 minutes with acetone, soap, and a scrubby brush, so that's why I had to oil my cuticles a bit here as well. Vamp has a deep burgundy base with a cool-toned red shimmer and subtle silver shimmer. Since my bottle of Vamp is at least 10 years old, it had dried out a bit, and I had to use thinner to reconstitute it, so I can't speak accurately to the formula. From what I remember of using it in the past, it's a good formula. I didn't use top coat for this swatch, and I'm not sure if the formula is a bit dull because I had to use thinner. This is one of those almost-black polishes, and the shimmer isn't very visible when out of the sun, so I always found it gave the polish a kind of muddled look in non-bright lighting conditions. But, this could just be in comparison to my love of Rouge Noir, which although another almost-black has that shiny lacquered purity and richness even out of the sun.<br />
<br />
Below, I did on-nail swatches of #18 Rouge Noir and #18 Vamp for reference. Vamp has a more purple base and has red shimmer as well as subtle silver shimmer. It's very pretty, it just doesn't really have that wow factor for me that Rouge Noir has. Again, excuse any mess around my cuticles!<br />

The closest polish I own to #18 Vamp is <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/10/opi-in-man-with-golden-gun-over.html"><b>Clinique Black Honey Velvet</b></a>, which was limited edition from Holiday 2005. It has pretty much the same exact base color, just no shimmer. Again, I'm sure there are dupes out there for Vamp, I just don't own any.<br />

#757 Rose Fusion was a pleasant surprise to me. In the bottle, it really reminded me of #525 Quartz, which isn't the most flattering polish on me. But, on me it is nice fusion between taupe and rose gold - a foil-y metallic with a ton of green-blue shimmer and a moderate duochrome with a plum flash. I can see this polish looking different on everyone. The green shimmer is not subtle, it is always very apparent on the nail. I did 2 thin coats, and it had a great formula, although a bit brushstrokey. However, I didn't add a quick-dry top coat for this swatch, and I imagine that would help smooth out the finish.</div>

My two most similar Chanel polishes are <b>#525 Quartz</b> and <b>Sweet Star</b>. Quartz has a more green, pewter-leaning base and less prominent shimmer. Sweet Star has a very similar formula composition, with a ton of that green-blue shimmer, but it has a cool icy grape base. Rose Fusion is by far the most flattering of these three on my skin tone.</div>

<b>OPI in Melody in Mocha</b> has a similar base color, but a much warmer overall appearance because of the small copper flaky shimmer. <b>CoverGirl NailSlicks in #301 Chocolate Mint</b> has a very different base color, but it is a brown with green shimmer, so I thought I'd include it.<br />

We're finally at the last polish in this collection! Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir Gold Sparkle Top Coat looks absolutely stunning in the bottle. On, the nail it doesn't achieve bottle color, but it is a beautiful topper. The gold flakes are not actual gold leaf (e.g. <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2012/10/opi-in-man-with-golden-gun-over.html">OPI in The Man with the Golden Gun</a>), so they are easy to apply on the nail - no placement or dabbing necessary - and they aren't thick Mylar shard glitter (e.g., <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/07/Revlon-Moon-Candy-Flakies-Swatches-Review.html">Revlon "Moon Candy" collection</a>), so they don't stick up from the nail. Similar to the <a href="http://chicprofile.com/ysl-2013-la-laque-couture-tie-die-info-photos">YSL Tie & Dye</a> polishes, there is not much suspension base, so the polish separates out into it's different components relatively quickly. You definitely need to shake the bottle before using it, and I preferred to re-shake between hands to redistribute the gold flakes.</div>

The Lamé Rouge Noir top coat, like the name implies, does not build up enough to be worn alone, in my opinion. The gold flakes cover my nail line pretty well (keep in mind, that I don't have a huge free-edge because I prefer to keep my nails short; if you do, your nail line will be more visible), but the tint is not saturated enough to look nice on its own. The pigment level is more than the most of the Maybelline Waters (to get really old school). From pictures I've seen (I don't own these collections), it seems sheerer than polishes from the <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2014/03/OPI-Sheer-Tints-Collection-Swatches-Review.html">OPI Sheer Tint</a>, <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/07/zoya-fall-2012-gloss-collection.html">Zoya Gloss</a>, and <a href="http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2010/02/butter-london-jelly-collection-spring-2010-swatches-review/">Butter London Jelly Sheer Colour</a> collections. Here is a quick swatch of 3 coats on its own, no top coat. It shows up as a mildly tinted plum base with medium size gold flaky shimmer.<br />

In my swatch I used 1 thin coat of Lamé Rouge Noir over 2 medium coats of #18 Rouge Noir. The formula is nice and easy to work with, not at all thick like some topper polishes. On my ring finger is a different polish that is pretty much a dead-on dupe. Lamé Rouge Noir dries fairly glossy and without texture, but I would still add a top coat (but then, I would always add a top coat).<br />

The polish I have on my ring finger is <b>NYC New York Color Top of the Gold Top Coat</b>. There are two slight differences between Top of the Gold and Lamé Rouge Noir. 1) Top of the Gold doesn't have a tinted base, and 2) Top of the Gold has a bit more dense gold flake distribution. Since, I wouldn't wear Lamé Rouge Noir on it's own and like it best with 1 coat as a layering polish, I feel comfortable calling these two dupes. Oh, by the way, Top of the Gold is like $1.86 at Target. As a Chanel Le Vernis collector, I love Lamé Rouge Noir, but I definitely don't think it's necessary if you just want the same effect for about 13 times less.</div>

For Winter 2015 Chanel has released another "Rouge Allure" collection. This includes two new polishes, #673 Singulière and #675 Troublante, and one re-released polish, #519 Rose Exuberant. I have quick and dirty swatches plus comparisons. It's a picture-heavy post everyone!<br />
<br />
I am still working on setting up the blog sale! Stay tuned for that and posts on the other Chanel polishes released this year. Coming up as soon as I get the pictures edited is the Holiday 2015 collection. I already have the top coat watched on my <a href="https://instagram.com/jroxy13/">Instagram</a>.<br />

Undoubtedly, the star of this collection is #675 Troublante. It is a pinky red metallic with an orange/bronze (primary) and old gold (secondary) shift. The formula is great; it's a bit brushstroke-y, but I didn't add a top coat for these pictures, and I think with a quick dry top coat most of the brushstrokes would be smoothed away. I did 2 thin coats - no black base is required. As with all duochrome polishes, the shift is more apparent out of direct sunlight, but it is a strong shift (I would say stronger than <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2013/05/chanel-in-657-azure.html">#657 Azuré</a> and <a href="http://jroxy13.blogspot.com/2013/06/chanel-in-667-bel-argus-comparisons.html">#667 Bel-Argus</a>). The old gold shift is mostly seen at the edges of the nail, but at more extreme angles it takes over. This polish is fall in a bottle! Chanel has it listed online as permanent, but I can't imagine that's right. (Side-note: did you notice that they recently discontinued a ton of permanent polishes, including #505 Particulière, #513 Black Pearl, and #583 Taboo? :( A lot of polishes listed as permanent in their Nail category also under Discontinued Favorites, so I would snatch those up while you can.) </div>

As soon as I saw promo pictures of Troublante, I wondered how similar it would be to China Glaze in Cabin Fever, which was released with the Fall 2015 "The Great Outdoors" collection. They are pretty similar, but a bit more different than my comparison pictures show.<br />

<b>Orly in Space Cadet</b> is a murky blue-green base with predominantly warm purple shimmer, but the duochrome shift is similar to Troublante, so I included it. It is a jelly base with flakey metallic shimmer. <b>China Glaze in Cabin Fever</b> is like a mildly more amped up version of Troublante. It has a very similar base, but Cabin Fever is more pink. It also has the same duo chrome shift, but a bit stronger than Troublante's. The formula is also a smoother metallic finish compared to the Chanel's more foil metallic finish. Both have great formulas. You probably don't need both, but I am happy to have them. <b>MAC in Bad Fairy</b> is much more pink with way less shift than the other polishes in a jelly base with flakey metallic shimmer. I love all of these polishes, but Troublante and Cabin Fever are most flattering on me.<br />
<br />
#673 Singulière is another one of those beautiful Chanel crèmes that you think you must have a dupe for, but I couldn't find one in my collection. This is a gorgeous berry red with a perfect formula, bright but also deep and not vampy. It is opaque in 1 coat, but I did 2 thin coats to achieve bottle color.<br />

The closest Chanel polishes I found are <b>#533 April</b> and <b>#609</b> Coup de Coeur. Both are lighter (April verges on a deep pink) and have a more dusty quality to them.<br />

<b>Sally Hansen Salon in Beet Stain</b> (long discontinued) is lighter, more pink, and a crelly formula. <b>American Apparel in Berry</b> is the same brightness but a bit deeper and more purple. They are more different than my picture shows, but my camera wouldn't pick it up.<br />

#519 Rose Exubérant is the outlier of the collection. This is not a winter polish to me, although I first got it with the Winter 2011 "Rouge Allure Velvet" collection, so Chanel really thinks it is! Rose Exubérant is a mid-tone neutral pink crème with a perfect formula. I did 2 thin coats, but if you do thicker, you will only need one. Despite how it looks on its own, when compared to other similar pinks, it is a bit less bright and more muted, but it's not at all dusty.<br />

My closest Chanel polishes are <b>#619 Pink Tonic</b>, which is lighter, brighter, and more blue-based. <b>#489 Rose Insolent</b> is lighter, a bit brighter, and warmer. I forgot about #537 Riviera, but it is much lighter and cooler.<br />

<b>Orly in Blushing Bud</b> is lighter, brighter, and cooler (lighter but not as cool as Pink Tonic). <b>China Glaze in Fuchsia Fanatic</b> is a brighter and a bit cooler. Finally, <b>China Glaze in Wicked Style</b> is brighter and a bit warmer. I could not get Rose Exubérant to show up quite right in this set, but it is more muted than the other three polishes shown.<br />
<br />
So what are your must haves? I love Troublante and Singulière. Rose Exuberant is a nice polish, but pinks don't usually excite me as much.<br />

<br />
For some crazy reason (probably because I am going crazy with all the extra time on my hands), I decided to try my hand at some nail art. I've been wanting to do a neon/nude manicure for a long time, inspired by this <a href="http://www.makeupalley.com/m_144252236">NB post</a>. However, I have absolutely no freehand skills, so I knew I wanted to use the striping tape I finally bought with my last order of swatch sticks. I looked through some of my favorite nail art blogs, and found this <a href="http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2013/03/snippet-coral-stripes.html">post</a> from The Nailasaurus. And, <i>donc</i>, you have this design, which I am pretty happy with despite its imperfections.<br />
<br />
This is actually a fairly easy look to achieve, it just takes a bit of time. Before I went to bed, I did my neon base colors. These three polishes are all from China Glaze's Summer 2012 "Summer Neons" collection. The warm, shimmery pink is China Glaze in Love's a Beach. I used 3 thin coats and didn't have problems, although it dries to a matte finish fast, so you have to work quickly. The shimmery tangerine is China Glaze in Orange You Hot? I used 2 thin coats and 2 medium coats and didn't have any problems with the formula. The highlighter yellow shimmer is China Glaze in Sun-Kissed. It is not as green-leaning as other similar highlighter yellow neons, but it has a bit more than my pictures captured. I used 2 thin coats and 2 medium coats and didn't have any problems with the formula. I topped these base colors with a layer of Seche Vite and went to bed.<br />
<br />
The next day, I laid down the striping tape in my design, working one finger at a time. The only trick to applying striping tape is to make sure it is conforming to the curve of your nails and press down at the edges of your nails so polish doesn't pool under the tape. Also, if you have a design where the tape overlaps, remember what order you placed the tape on your nail - I drew a rough sketch and numbered it for my thumb. Once I had the tape down, I applied a thick coat of polish over the whole nail. I used Rescue Beauty Lounge in Plié, a ballet slipper pink creme from the Fall/Winter 2008 collection, which straddles the line between pink and nude on me. Immediately after you apply your polish, you have to pull up the tape using tweezers; otherwise, the polish will start to dry and leave polish strings all over your design. Because I'm not great at this technique, I went back over the areas where Plié had smudged into my base colors with some remover. I used my favorite clean-up brush for fine detail work, the brush that comes with the Chanel Illusion d'Ombres and Zoya Remove, which is a mild acetone remover, so it doesn't eat through polish as quickly and lightly went over those spots where the lines didn't look clean. It was very easy to do this because the layer of Seche Vite over the neons acted as a barrier to keep my base colors from being picked up. I cleaned up around my cuticles with pure acetone and my Elf concealer brush, and then added a layer of Seche Vite to finish. You can see that on my ring finger there is some bubbling. This is because the horizontal lines caught the Seche Vite brush instead of allowing it to float across the surface of the nail and created bubbles. Next time I would go across that nail horizontally rather than vertically to prevent this.<br />
<br />
It sure didn't turn out the way it would have for other bloggers that excel at nail art, but it looks awesome from a regular viewing distance! By the way, sorry, I didn't notice there was a hair on my thumb in some of these pictures. Also, I know the claw pose is awkward as hell, but the design looks a little pedestrian without the thumb!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Here are the base colors. I was pleasantly surprised at how color-accurate they turned out. The yellow has a bit more green in real life, but otherwise pretty spot-on!<br />
