Because even if I haven't been blogging, I've certainly been polishing! And doing more hauling! Ha.
Today I want to share with you a lovely polish I picked up in September for Fashion Night Out. I've come to look forward to this event so much, and primarily for the limited edition polishes Chanel releases for the occasion. In 2010 it was Les Khakis de Chanel, with the much loved Khaki Brun, Khaki Rose, and everyone's favorite Khaki Vert. Last year gave us Les Jeans de Chanel, with three stunning takes on blue in Coco Blue, Blue Boy, and Blue Rebel. What did Chanel have in store for us for 2012? A slightly different take - three exclusive polishes, but three matching lipsticks as well - Les Twin-Sets de Chanel. I passed on all three lipsticks (and am sorely regretting not picking up L'Provocante now), but did snatch up all three polishes, the first of which I have to show you today - Infidele.
Chanel describes Infidele as an 'intense pink with a burst of energy', and that it most definitely is! And while it's certainly bright, it has a slight dusty quality that made it perfect for the sunny fall day when I wore it. This is two coats of Infidele, and the formula was buttery perfection. Normally I don't notice formula -as in, I don't really have problems with most - but when a formula is exceptional, I notice. And Infidele is definitely exceptional.
Infidele was certainly ready for its close-up:
... and here is a super warmed-up version of Infidele, in bright direct sunlight - it shows the hint of rosy dusk in the color:
Is Infidele the most unique color I've ever seen? Probably not. Did I have anything like it in my collection? Nope. Am I happy it came home with me with the other two beauties, Delicatesse and Provocation? Absolutely! (Reviews on both coming soon!)
If you missed it in September, you can still purchase Infidele from Chanel.com. Each polish retails for $26 - a steep price tag, so only take the plunge if you love Infidele or you're a Chanel addict like yours truly. :)
