Chanel Paradoxal Polish for Fall 2010

I went to Bergdorf Goodman today and the Chanel beauty counter was having an event for their Fall collection. Gah, I can help but be confused that it's June and I'm being shown colors for Fall. Anyway, I love what I saw. Here is the first item that won my heart. I'll try to post pics for the other items soon.

Paradoxal polish is a lovely purple grey color. The violet iridescence that you see in the bottle is very subtle once you apply it to your nails. I had to put it on the minute I got home. Ok I did have dinner first but either way- this color is too awesome.

Here's a pic without flash:


This was my previous mani-Illamasqua Jo'mina with a white stamp pattern from Bundlemonster plate 20:

I loved this mani but I was super excited to try out Paradoxal. The other polish for the Fall was Jade Rose and since I had passed on it the first time around, I decided to take this second chance to add it to my collection. Check out Beauty Look Book for great pics of this polish.

Illamasqua-MILF (quickie post)

I had made an effort to go to the Sephora grand opening at times square so I could see the Illamasqua line in person. I picked up some pigments, lip gloss and nail polish. MILF is a minty green shade that I ended up liking more than I had originally anticipated. The formula is excellent and lasted quite some time. I didn't experience any chipping for a week straight except for one lone finger on my right hand. I've already moved on to another polish but here's what my MILF + Konad fishnet stamping looked like:

I will post the other items I got soon!
