Chanel Morning Rose

Hey, guys! It's pink Wed again! This week, my pink is from the new Chanel summer collection. It's Morning Rose. I saw swatches of this awhile back (before it was released)on MUA and absolutely fell in love with it. I had to have it. So, when it came out last week, I hurried to Nordstroms to grab it. I was on the list, so they gave me a call that it was in. I decided to save it for today, for pink Wed. I kept staring at the bottle. It looks gorgeuous in the bottle. I couldn't wait to wear it! I finally have it on today, and it is pretty, but not $25 pretty as I'd hoped. :-( The pretty gold sparkles don't show up as much as I would have liked. The pink color reminds me of an old 80's pink lipstick that I used to have. Ugh. One that I didn't particularly like. Needless to say, I am disapointed. It was also a pain to photograph, but I did my best. I took many pics. and these are the best, and they aren't that great. With all that being said, application was wonderful, and I used three coats. I just wish the gold glitter was more visible.

Since I wasn't thrilled with the final outcome, I decided to make it matte. I used a coat of Essie's Matte About You, and do like it better matte. First I'll show you the pics. of it matte, and then I'll show you the pics. without the matte.

So, what do you guys think of Morning Rose? Do you like it better matte or on it's own? Thanks for looking, and have a great day!

UPDATE! Added Polish Names! Lots of Island Girl Spam!!! Plus Pink Wed.

Wow, it's been a whole week since I last made a post! I was super busy at the end of last week. I went on a very quick, but fun trip to Vegas for the weekend. I of course, had to find an ABC store to pick up some Island Girl polish. I kinda bought over 20 bottles. Umm. yeah. I think the girl that checked me out, thought I was crazy! LOL! Ah, well. They were on sell, and they don't cost much as it is. Also, who knows when I'll be able to get them again.

First, I'm going to show you today's mani. I used Island Girl, Island Girl. Yes, that's actually the name as well as the brand. ;-) I decided on this one for pink Wed. It's a very bright hot pink with scattered holo glitter. Application was really good, and it dried almost right away. I used two coats.

You should def. click on all the pics. for a much better look. ;-)





Here are pics. of yesterday's mani. I used Island Girl, Island Treat. It's a deep red berry base with pink and red glitter. Application was great on this one as well. I also used two coats.





Close Up.



Here are bottle pics. of the others I bought. I don't have them right with me at the moment, but if you'd like to know names, just let me know. :-) I will be swatching them all at some point as well. The doubles you see, are some I bought to use for my upcoming giveaway, so keep an eyes out if you'd like to win some. ;-)
