I have the same shadde of grey that Lily Alln wears in the Chanel advert, I love it. But dont let my nails get too long.
Hate that claw look when they start curling over!

I know you want shade advice and I love the colour of chanel lotus red BUT I was so disappointed it bubbles when you put it in and chips really easily (within 12 hours).

Tomorrow I am off to my local salon clutching my cakky chanel to match to a jessica nail varnish shade.

Interesting to hear others raving about OPI - MIL was saying really good too. Does anyone know if there is a nice shade like chanel lotus red?

minxofmancunia · 29/12/2009 22:25

just to say v v disappointed with Chanel "forbidden" limited edition dark brown shade, bought for me by sister for xams present. Applied it in the eve, shower next morning less than 24 hours later loads of it had chipped off!

Used to love rouge noir and their navy shade so was gutted that this one is sch poor quality, won't be asking for chanel again!

beauty therapist friend also raves about OPI she only uses their polishes and her nails look great.

I use Mavala Riga which is a very pale pink. Similar to Suagr Daddy and Ballerina by Essie.

CoqAuVin · 29/12/2009 22:53

A square of jelly everyday (eaten ob) will stop nails from snapping.

Adding another here..anyone got any strong feelings about differences between Essie and Nails inc?

Want a deep pink/red for now and then and pale pink nude- ie South Molton Street St I think, as from Nails Inc.

GleeE4 · 02/01/2010 18:35

no sorry

right I bought a revlon one as well.
pale pink called " pink nude" exciting ly

KittyTN · 02/01/2010 19:09

Mavala range is great - nice, thin polish, quick drying, non-gloopy

Wearing Los Angeles (old fashioned bright red) today but ususally favour Rodeo Drive (neutral beige?) for everyday.

Also v cheap!!
