I like this better in pictures than I do on!
Pretty - but there is something I am not loving about it. I can't put my finger on it. So I added my fav topcoat polish of all time...
Essie Masquerade Belle + Chanel Illusion d'Or
Again, there is something about this that I'm just not feeling great about. (And I *love* Illusion d'Or!) Maybe the whole look is too brown for my current mood? Or too warm for my skin tone? I do think it is kind of funny that the names of both of these polishes refer to something being hidden and shrouded in mystery - because I can't quite figure them out!
What do you think of this combo?

What? What? i'm really wishing Masquerade Belle,'cause the description says: Blackened red. and you see it brown...is brown? I really need, want, yearn a black red that is actually black red, and not leaning brown at all.
I think it looks way better with Chanel Illusion D'or on top. Cause otherwise it just looks like any other dark red. Brown? Dark brown with red in it?
I like it better without Illusion d'Or. Maybe it's a polish for another moment =) I think it's awesome!
It looks gorgeous with illusion d'or on it :)
@SakuraBlossom - I was also hoping it would be a black-red like the description, but on me at least it is a dark red-brown colour. It definitely has brown tones in it, but they might be exacerbated by my skin tone.
@ShortandSweet - I think dark brown with red in it hits it on the nose. Burgundy with mud??
@AmyGrace - I'm glad you like it! I'm pretty meh about it, but I think it does deserve another chance.
@Silva - Thanks my friend!

Pretty polish but one I've seen many times. I don't want blackened shades of polish. I like the Chanel top coat but not on this. Sorry that it doesn't do anything for me either.
Hrm. I'm also disappointed that it is coming up brown. I already own Wicked and Material Girl, so I'm thinking I can probably pass this up.
I love the Chanel top coat though!
I'm on the side of +Illusion d'Or. It's a pretty polish but the top coat definitely makes it something special.
I actually think it looks very chic!
Oh! I like it plain, but I'm totally digging it with the top coat. Good job with the pairing.
i agree, there is something missing/wrong with it.
i think it is too dark or both polishes don't have chemistry.

@Lucy - Yep, its not pushing my buttons either.
@Varnish Vixen - Keep in mind I have a funky skin tone! It might look different on you!!
@Jennifer Leigh - I love IDO. I really do!
@Jenny - Thanks frind!
@Karla - Thanks, but I really think its reading better on camera than it is in reality!
@BuyWoWDeathKnight - You know what I think it is? I think MB is a touch too warm for me, which makes it look weird.
