Icaria’s: Chanel Le Vernis, Coup de Coeur...

Chanel Le Vernis, Coup de Coeur...

Coup de coeur means you like something on the spot. You know when you buy something because you simply must have it? That's a coup de coeur! Not to be mistaken with a coup de foudre which is love at first sight.

Chanel Le Vernis # 609 Coup de Coeur...

I had a total coup de coeur when I first saw pictures of this nail polish and just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. In fact when I went to my Chanel counter they had just received it and so the SA had to go look for it in a box! Seeing it in real life did not disappoint and so it's become an instant favorite!

I'm not a red person, not one bit. I find real true reds beautiful on others but I'm not comfortable wearing them, seems they're just not me. I own one for good measure but it's not a regular go to.

I need plums and berries! This color is perfect, a joy and I do think it'll be my saple up until we start to see summer collections appear. Now about that, Chanel will have four gorgeous nail polishes in their Reflets d'Été 2014 Summer Collection... *dreamy*

This week the weather wasn't that great and so this means that lighting wasn't the best. I was able to snap this Instagram on the third day. Note the little tip wear. This color requires a top coat and so this is what you see. Two coats of Coup de Coeur and top coat applied on the second day.

In real it's a little more plum, a little less flashy and so quite appropriate for the office. Not that this would stop me! :)

The formula goes on like a dream, as usual and two coats make it perfect. Dry time is fast and this is a great point. I did my nails one hour before going to bed and no pillow traces by morning!

If you're looking for a nice classic color to transition from dark vampy to spring colors, Chanel Le Vernis #609 in Coup de Coeur is perfect! Really it is!

See what I meant about Coup de Coeur being a new arrival! :)

So many pretty lippies!!!

Available at Chanel counters now, Coup de Coeur is part of an early spring collection called Variation which except for this beautiful nail polish, focuses on lips. You can see the entire collection on Chic Profile, here.

Do you like red nails? True red or more berry/plum?

That's a beautiful shade, I bought some of the lipsticks from the Variation collection today. Ooh that box of Chanel products, did you feel tempted to grab it and run? (or perhaps that's just me....)

It is pretty isn't it Clare? About that box, you have no idea how tempted I was so no, it's just not you! :D

I do like red nails, and that Coup de Coeur is a gorgeous shade. I love the bit of plum that's in it. I'm not usually a Chanel person, but this shade is so lovely, I've gotta take a look. Do the Chanel lipsticks still have a fragrance?

Allison so far I think Chanel is my favorite formula for nail polishes, it really goes on effortlessly! As for the lipsticks I can't say since I haven't purchased one in years. I do believe I'll fall for one soon so I'll be able to answer then. :)

I won't lie, it's not love at first sight for me with this one. I don't often wear deep red berry shades on my nails. It does look very elegant and classy though.

You're right Melissa, it's pretty classy. I so get what you mean, we all like different things and that's good. There are so many colors I love seing on others but wouldn't wear myself. :)

Becca, you have no idea how that box of Chanel made me feel! It reminded me of when I managed a Dior counter years ago! Every time a new order came it I wanted to leave with a box! If only this one had been a little smaller...... :D

Oh Monica you must! If you have a nail color that you prefer, always go back to, you may find an equal in Chanel. Believe me the fomula is beautiful and lasts very well with a top coat. I wouldn't spend that much on a color I know I wouldn't wear often but for a staple, definitely worth it for me. :)
