You wouldn't believe how much I want, covet, DESIRE two of the new Chanel nail colors. Peridot and Graphite! Even saying the names gives me a little thrill. But at $25 a bottle, they are just to spendy for me. I will pay $14 for the UK brand Butter, especially since they have to send it all the way to the states from across the pond. I may even treat myself to the luxury brand Deborah Lippman, now available at Nordstrom for about $18. But even I, with no practical sense at all can't plunk down TWENTY FIVE dollars for a nail polish. That equals two Limited Edition OPI's and an emory board. So, are there any cheap dupes for these brilliant shades? The answer is yes and no. The Sephora brand has released a close dupe to Peridot. Close enough for color tv with regard to the shade, but can the formula compare, and is it important? I'll find out.
There is no dupe for Graphite. It is made of slivers of sunbeams and moonbeams and promises and the lint from angel's wings and bits of pixie eyelashes. It's the nail polish they hand out at the gates of Heaven, in the reserved section, of course. And it is not for the likes of me. Sigh.
Chanel Graphite is so wildly popular, even at that price, it's getting hard to find. It is on EBAY tonight for anywhere from $33 to $62!
ReplyDeleteOutrageous!! I'm going to look it up now. And why buy it...Go to Sephora before a big night out and use it there for free!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how many people do just that. With makeup, too. Then out of Sephora and out on the town!
