Chanel: Taboo

Digging around in my "pending blog" photos I came across this oldie but goodie: Chanel Taboo. It's a vampy shade with heaps of shifty shimmer...in the bottle. On the nail, not so much. A lot of the shimmer is lost and covered up because the base is too opaque. Really disappointed in this one.





Chanel formula, for me, is hit and miss. This one was better than my bottle of Paradoxal which was super thick. I used two coats of Taboo and it dried matte, and then ate my topcoat so I used another layer of topcoat.
I have to say, I wasn't too impressed with this one - not worth its hefty price tag.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!

I swore I wasn' t ever going to spend more than $10 on a bottle of polish but with this new release, I caved. I love this polish in the sun, as it really shows the shimmer off!
