Well that's one off the wishlist. I have been obsessed with this colour because it reminded me of gold metallic nail foils. I was lucky enough to get this off Polish Haven's blog sale. Kristy was an absolute sweet heart who gave me a freebie nail polish and mints. Peridot (531) is a duochrome green and gold from Chanel's 2011 Fall polish line. It is one of the most unique nail colours I have ever seen but it makes me feel like a swamp monster or a gladiator. Sexy, I know.
Gosh, it was difficult to capture the different sides of peridot so I give you many shots to peruse. It's my first Chanel nail polish and I'm impressed. Formula was smooth and only required one coat. Still in terms of cost I wouldn't buy anymore unless the colour was unique. Peridot is nothing like a metallic gold foil nail sticker that I had hoped for. I'll actually have to buy those one day unless anyone has a nail polish suggestion for gold foils?
Retail price for peridot at Myers or David Jones is $39 AUD. For those who weren't lucky enough to the get the polish from a blog sale or the ozsale deal , two exact dupes are available:
- Jessica - Iridescent eye
- OPI - Just spotted the lizard (Spiderman collection, out in May)

ReplyDeleteMy Mom came over today and I did her nails. One hand was this and the other was Jessica Iridescent eye. They looked the same but of course Mom preferred Chanel :)
