Mani of the Week: Chanel Paradoxal

Chanel Paradoxal really is a paradox. In the bottle, it’s a deep purple full of shimmer. On the nail? It’s a purplish brown creme. In the right light, you can see a BIT of shimmer -- but it’s nothing close to what I would have expected. (Though in the pics after the jump, with flash, you can definitely see the shimmer come out.)



I honestly am not sure how I feel about this one. I was really excited about it -- and spent $23 on it last week, which, even though I’m obsessed with Chanel nail polish and have close to 40 of them, is still a big expense for a polish that I’m not thrilled about.

What do you think of it? And what’s on your nails this week? Let me know in the comments!
