Tonight I have an "oldie but a goodie" for you. Chanel Lilac Sky. Lilac Sky came out as part of Chanel's The Color World Collection - Spring 2006. So it's about 6 years old and still just as lovely.

Chanel Lilac Sky is a cool-toned pinkish lilac with tons of silver shimmer. Pastels are so often warm-toned that they really don't work on me at all, but this one, with the cool blue undertones actually makes it quite wearable for me. Application was actually better and less sheer than I expected. Two coats for opacity and no formula issues to mention. Even though it's a bit frosty, it doesn't really show brush strokes, but if you'll be taking close-up photos, just make sure to do straight and even strokes. I noticed nothing until I saw my photos and there are a few very faint brush stroke marks that you couldn't really see at arms length.

And just in case you're into indie polishes, Lilac Sky makes a fantastic base for
Lush Lacquer Chubby Checker!

This is no longer a part of Chanel's permanent line, but it's also not one of those hard-to-find polishes that go for major $$ on eBay. You can still find it on-line for a decent price if you look around a bit. Your local Chanel counter may even have it tucked away in the back. Never hurts to ask!
Do you have this one? What's your favorite Chanel polish?

Oh! Now I really want this!! My Chubby checker arrived today too :)
ReplyDeleteI have to hand it to you, your swatches always look fantastic even when I'm not in love with the color.
ReplyDeleteI really love that color and yeah, it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty shade - wonder if this one will be one of 'those' Chanel shades that folks go crazy over like many others. Spring 2011 colors are already major classics and we don't even need to talk about the Fall 2011 ones! Thanks for the link to the indie company. I am always looking for good ones but cannot ever figure out just from looking at bottles on etsy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shade! It looks very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
