As every polish lover knows, Paradoxal is Chanel’s much hyped new fall shade. It is a greyish/brownish/purple with a dark pink and blue shimmer. A friend of mine described it as being pretty and complex. No doubt about it, this is a cool color. I am really looking forward to wearing it this fall!

Application was very good. Two coats and a top coat shown.

I know that Chanel nail polish has a reputation for chipping, but this is wearing reasonably well on me. I have had it on for 3 days, and I do have fairly pronounced tip wear on a few fingers but no chips.
