All year long I've regretted not purchasing Chanel's Jade nail polish. It's such a great color and by the time I knew I wanted it, it was sold out. If you do a quick search on Ebay for this shade, it has been priced at 10 times it's retail value. I made sure that this year I wouldn't make the same mistake. I saw a swatch of Chanel's Riva nail polish and I knew it was going to be mine. However, on the different blogs I read this polish would be priced at $39. Now, Chanel polishes are pricey at $25 but I couldn't justify paying $39 for a nail polish. But when I found out that it was $27, I called the Chanel boutique at the Wynn Las Vegas and ended up ordering it. With shipping and handling, it was almost $40 and I know that for most people that is a ridiculous amount to pay for a nail polish. I did feel guilty after I ordered it but that guilt quickly went away when I saw more swatches from Karen & Kelly. I probably won't ever spend so much on a nail polish again but for me, it is so worth it.
And if you knew how much I paid for the hard to find MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Pleasureflush, this purchase wouldn't seem as extravagant. I think I may need a make-up intervention :)
I've seen swatches of this going around, and it's definitely a very pretty colour! I hope you enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn - just painted my nails. So worth the hype!
ReplyDeleteWear it proud! Tis better to spend more on something you'll actually use, than less on something you won't (and won't love as much).
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteDo you use Pleasureflush much? I'd probably just save it. LOL
Michelle- I am.
ReplyDeleteDionela - I bust out Pleasureflush on special occasions. After all these years, I don't regret buying it.
