Beauty Buy of the Week: Chanel

As I walked towards the Chanel counter this morning, a fresh tan on my face, I spotted something out of the corner of my eye. I suppose you could describe the moments that followed as a 'love at first sight' moment. I had met the one, the nail polish that would aid me to while away the summer months with a perfect manicure.
Chanel launched their latest range of nail polishes today, featuring 'Delight' (a gold-bronze shade) and 'Holiday' (a rich coral-red). The one that stood out to me though, was 'Island'.
Island is a seashell pink shade, with beige undertones, and like the MAC Suntint I recently evaluated, it will certainly accentuate a tan, and create a bronze goddess-like appearance.
When applied, the colour was quite weak, but after two coats, the colour started to build and after three coats, I really began to enjoy gazing at my nails. The colour has so far matched a simple denim shorts and shirt look (it was too hot to wear anything else!), and I have yet to try it with evening wear, but I'm sure it will match in the same way. It's so versatile: it's casual enough to wear in the day, but the pearly shimmer gives it a dash of brilliance that suits any night out.
I doubt this shade will be leaving my nails this summer, and for the few exams I have left. The only problem I can predict, is the distraction it will provide in my exam. If I haven't stopped looking at my nails tonight, how will I last in a tedious exam?!
