Finally!!! I was so disappointed in the formula, despite all the hype, of Chanel
Pirate. Not because it was bad, but because it was a "crelly." I guess I'm a straight creme kinda gal. It took way too many coats for me and I still didn't get the opacity I craved. But it was a gorgeous red.
Then I found Chanel
Dragon. I don't know how many times I passed right by this one before I finally bought it on a whim. And it's just perfection in a bottle.
It's a lovely pure red creme with the perfect formula. It could probably be a one-coater, but two is perfect for me. Even my man said he loved it - with NO prompting or asking! He said a woman only needs one bottle of polish and THAT is the one. Well, I had to stifle my giggles on that one. If he only KNEW!

Now tell me you don't adore that red! I think the ease of application and the total opacity reeled me in.
This is soooo gorgeous on you:3!!hehee:3 I wish my bf would admit he likes my mani(s) too!!> < When I ask him..he will just say okkkkkk almost every time!
ReplyDeleteLOL - that's usually what he does. But I'd just been wearing my Starry Starry Night franken, which he wouldn't have liked because it's not a straight creme...so it was really his backhanded way of saying he didn't like the other one. But he really did like this one.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Dragon at first sight (well, first try) as well - it's a great colour for pale types like me (us?). I like all my Chanel reds, but Dragon is def the staple. Have you tried Rouge Carat?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have Rouge Carat - thinking whether I've reviewed that one, hmmm. I don't think I have! It's a great red, but it's got other stuff going on - the gold shimmer. The application is good on it, too. Great for the holidays. And I do wear it, but it's not that "classic" red I'd been searching for.
ReplyDeleteWhat was I thinking? I have reviewed Rouge Carat! http://pointlesscafe.blogspot.com/2011/10/chanel-rouge-carat-holiday-2011.html
ReplyDeleteI love this red on you. :)
