@itsfi, I join you in being very judicious with makeup purchases these days!

[itsfi]

You can help me stay accountable @TraceyEB! Some days are better than others! 😆

@TraceyEB @Winthrop44 @Sunnysmom - Have any of you (or anyone else) tried Chanel's nail polish? 🤔

[Sunnysmom]

I would echo all that @itsfi said below @Titian06 . I have used Ballerina , Vamp, Rouge Noir and various reds for years but haven’t purchased any of the new releases nor if any changes to them. They have always applied beautifully and last quite long but I have short low maintenance nails. 🙂 Would be interested to hear what anyone tries of new polishes! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, you have both Vamp and Rouge Noir? I’ve heard folks say they’re the same, or dupes for each other. What’s your take on them?

[Sunnysmom]

I’ll have to see what I still have @itsfi . Vamp was tricky for me but still not too difficult . I often didn’t do it on myself too. Lol Trying to recall the differences of them now but I think Vamp is more red and Noir darker? I’ll get back to you when I’m back at home? 

[itsfi]

No rush @Sunnysmom. I’m curious more than anything. I have plenty of polishes as it is. Just thought if you had both, it would be interesting (and more telling for me) what you thought.

[Sunnysmom]

Sounds good @itsfi . They may be a covid casualty as I’m only finding Ballerina and Pirate right now 😆 . Keep you posted.  I’m sure they’d both look great on you and you could manage them so easily with your nail talents vs mine! You have an amazing collection. 🥰

[itsfi]

@Titian06, I have a few Chanel polishes. Most are older polishes but I have a few from recent collections. The shades on all have been lovely and long wearing. They go on smoothly, without streaks or bald spots. They're just pricier than many polishes (but comparable to other luxury / designer brands, and less so than many in that category).

[Winthrop44]

@Titian06 Yes, I have many. The colors were more exciting/novel back in the Peter Phillips days which (arguably) justified the price, but all bets are off because apparently they're revamping the entire line - not only most of the colors, but also the formula and brush. I guess we'll all find out together how they are!

[TraceyEB]

@Titian06, I haven't tried Chanel nail polishes but heard good things about them. I'm contemplating a purchase from this new release.

[TraceyEB]

Reports that Chanel Les Beiges 2023 collection below has launched in boutiques. Can anyone confirm?

[Sunnysmom]

My SA says not yet but that’s for SoCal @TraceyEB . She mentioned June as the release date. Did we see the mini bronzers pop up on Saks or was I delirious some night. Lol. Forgive if this is old news! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, maybe it will release with the nail polish collection in early June.

[Sunnysmom]

Swatches for some of the latest collection. Love the blush, it’s such a fun candy pink with very pretty sheen! It reminds me most of the Akita Perle Chantecaille from the other year. RMS French Rosé is also a bit close if anyone has those . I received the lip balm 928 by accident vs the cheek Dragee so I am exchanging it but I added the swatch anyway. ( The lip balms feel nice don’t they , tho they barely show on me. Think I’d rather do the Gucci which has more pigment imho. ) Lip balms 928, 930, lip inks 236, 238 and Fantaisie cheek. I love the lip inks! Do you guys love yours @Winthrop44 @blackkitty2014 ? Not sure who else got what. @TraceyEB yours looks so pretty! 🥰

Fantasie is a beauty @Sunnysmom! 😍

[Sunnysmom]

She is @itsfi ! 💞 Did you end up doing anything from this collection or no? 

[itsfi]

Nothing from this collection @Sunnysmom. I picked up 2 polishes from the previous one. 

[Sunnysmom]

💪 @itsfi ! 🥰

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom I'm happy with what I purchased and ended up adding Dragee. I really like Pink Delight, but have very pigmented lips. Thanks for the great swatches!  I'm surprised - in a good way - at how Sweet Treat looks on you. I thought it would be darker and warmer. 

[Sunnysmom]

Oh nice @Winthrop44 I’m so glad you like what you got too! 🥰 My Dragee just arrived. I like it and it’s just a cooler lighter version of Rosee it appears? Do you have that one as well? I was also surprised at Sweet Treat thinking it would be darker on me. I wish my lips were darker like yours! Lucky! I did quick comparison of the other Glow and Baume sticks I had and then added Dragee if anybody wanted to know. Fraise def has the most pigment, is warmer. I was not going to do Dragee but I had fomo. Not proud of myself! 😔 Knew I’d wear it tho. 😊 @blackkitty2014
