Still can not deside what it would be. I have similar to you style and preferences, but need somethin which will stick to my nails for longer (5 days). Last time I wore for this conference OPI Alpine Snow And Passion French mani and had to remove it on the 4'th day. Would you have any recommendations to me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-36918999732588587132010-08-13T10:33:27.438-07:002010-08-13T10:33:27.438-07:00@tasha: LOL, it's not everyone's cup of te...@tasha: LOL, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

I like seeing pics of polishes s few days later since we get to see the staying power.

So I did. And I'm very glad I did. That being said, it's a lot of money for a single polish and I don't buy Chanel very often because of the price. <br /><br />@Jackie: Mmm… I like my trusty old, cheap (and plentiful) Blue Cross Cuticle Remover better. I applied it only a week after I did my cuticles -- which means there wasn't that much cuticle to be removed. Honestly, I'm not sure I see what the fuss is about. Maybe if I try it some other time with a lot of cuticle growth, I'll be more impressed?<br /><br />@Alison: LOL, I only just now recognized your avatar from MUA! And I remember you posting recently about wanting Paradoxal but not wanting to cave to it. Honestly, I think Chanel makes a lot more colors that are not worth the hefty pricetag: this one, however, is totally worthwhile. JMHO. :D <br /><br />@Lucy: I do leave a pretty substantial gap but if I do try to fill the whole nail, I end up with color absorbed in my cuticles for days. It looks horrific -- and would even worse in macro-shot swatch pics. :( I hope you enjoy Paradoxal too! I'm new to Chanel as well.flintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221593310807232576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-7115928164475029272010-08-09T12:13:10.479-07:002010-08-09T12:13:10.479-07:00I don't think your gap is that big. I've ...I don't think your gap is that big. I've seen many manicures on other blogs with the same gap. I personally like to fill the whole nail. It does make it harder to clean up. I bought this shade for my first Chanel purchase. I hope it wears as well for me. Looks lovely on you. I've also done the same thing with the cuticle remover. No one sees it but me and some friends!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558100374295420131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-56807392887079296052010-08-09T11:52:50.101-07:002010-08-09T11:52:50.101-07:00I keep talking myself out of getting this colour a...I keep talking myself out of getting this colour and just when I think I have succeeded you post this pic which makes me want it more!
