Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Delight

I usually stay away from metallic nail polish. My limited experience with them has shown me that they can be streaky, gritty or inappropriate for anything but a New Year's Eve party. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour 607 - Delight changed all that.

I wasn't going to get any of the nail polishes from the summer collection of Chanel. But as an afterthought, I decided to put this on at the counter. I was surprised at how the shade warmed up to my complexion. On my skin tone, it felt like a neutral. A neutral! I did one coat on each nail and immediately bought myself a bottle.

Two coats will render Delight much more metallic-looking but the color is, after all, gold. It has to glimmer like a Chanel Glossimer in the sun. In the shade (as pictured below), it isn't nearly as sparkly. But as nail polish usually looks better with two coats, I went home, finished it up with a second coat and snapped a few pictures before I put on the top coat. Sweet, solid gold for summer. I'm in!
