chanel-mimosa♥

I have been wanting this nail polish for ages, after seeing it on Lisa Eldridge some time ago. 'Mimosa' is part of the Chanel Summer collection which is absolutely gorgeous! After what seemed an eternity, it was finally released a few day's ago. I was at 'MeadowhEll' dead on 11am this morning to purchase some pretties, it was all so gorgeous I could have gone for the whole lot! 

(I purchased items from Chanel, Estee Lauder and Dior so if you would like a post on that just let me know.)
(Sorry about the shoddy application and anyone notice how short my nails are compared to my last nail post? Yes, I picked my nails off without even noticing!! Has anyone else ever done that?)

At £16 Chanel nail polishes aren't cheap, but I was determined to have this colour as it is so up my alley I would have regretted it if I had left it behind. Mimosa is a bright summery yellow, with really fine gold shimmers running through it, although you have to look very closely to see these once you've applied the polish.
From my first experience using a Chanel nail polish I can safely say I am quite impressed. I don't think they are AMAAAZING quality. It applied quite streaky on the first coat but the second one glided on a lot nicer. There is still a little bit of streakiness going on but I think if I wasn't rushing like I was, two coats would have been perfect. Consistency wise it is just how I like it, not too thick or thin! Overall good, but nothing amazing! That being said, I would purchase another one if it was unique enough.

What do you think? Will you be rocking yellow nails this summer?

Thank you for reading

    I swatched this in the shop and it looked amazing but i cant justify spending that much on a nail polish just yet. Would love to know what El & dior purchases you made :) x

    I love yellow nail varnish, but I don't think I could stretch to the £16 price tag. That being said it does look amazing.

    I saw this in the store yesterday and LOVED it, I especially loved the subtle shimmer. But it's a bit more expensive here and I couldn't bring myself to pay 20 pounds for a bottle of polish.

    i love yellow nails this season, but i havent tried it on myself yet. I would think that its kind of a hard color to pull off. Looks great on you though!

    It looks so good on your nails! This is the only yellow nailpolish that I would wear, no doubt. The yellow polishes in the drugstore were just ewww. :D
