Swatch: Chanel Blue Satin

Just before Christmas, I went to Brighton armed with my Boots points all ready to get Chanel Malice but sadly it seems the rest of Sussex got there first! Unfortunately the nice lady at the Chanel desk thought it was a good idea to get her tester out and show me how gorgeous it was anyway. Thanks pal...

Anyhow, on to the polish. Blue Satin is a deep dark blue, which in the bottle has a beautiful electric blue shimmer. This barely translates to the nail at all even in real life... Really disappointing but it is still a beautiful colour and just as I am writing this, I have realised that this would make an excellent base for Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe!

I've included this slightly blurry picture as it's the only one I got that showed the beautiful lighter blue visible in the bottle. 

Like with the few other Chanels I have, the application of this was lovely and overall I'm pleased with the polish. I also got a lovely Chanel shopping bag with this which I'm now keeping my small collection in! Now I will just have to make sure I get my hands on Malice eventually to add to it...

Chanel Blue Boy Swatch

Here's another Chanel that I got with my Boots points. I have so much trouble picking from their colours, particularly since I always feel like it should be the 'special' (ie. non-duped) ones that I get... does that make sense?!

This beauty is Blue Boy from the 'Les Jeans de Chanel' trio released earlier this year and retails for £18.00. This is dusty perfection!
