Yellow is probably the color least-worn on my nails. My opinion has always been:"Yellow and nails just don't mix".
Until I saw this color by Chanel and caved.
Spending $25 on a nail polish is usually a practice I reserve for the crazies (you know you're reading this...), but I've been known to lose my mind from time to time.
Mimosa by Chanel is a lemon-yellow with a golden frost to it. The frost isn't too intense though. From a distance, you wouldn't even notice it. I'm not too crazy about the formula. Of course, two coats is the way to go. However, with two THICK coats, it still looked a bit streaky in spots and the whites of my nails still show through a bit.
Overall, if you have a little patience with the formula, it's a fun and unexpected twist on nail color for Spring!
Expect a little bit more of it... but still.. thanks Tiff im one of those crazies!
ReplyDeleteIt *is* a pretty color, but for $25 I'd expect the formula to be better! Maybe I'm just picky. Haha! Happy (early) Easter!
ReplyDeleteYah yellow is uncommon for my nails too, but this looks nice!
ReplyDeleteIm not a big fun of yellow, but this look is very cute :)
ReplyDeletehaha i too am one of the crazies... i caved for chanel's black pearl.
ReplyDeleteI love yellow nail polishes, especially canary yellow :)
ReplyDeleteInStyle has this nail polish listed as an example of yellow nail color. I guess Yellow is the up and coming nail trend. I love it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that for that price there should be no complaints haha. I would probably find that somewhere else for a lot less and formula to be about the same just with a great top coat. But I think the color is very pretty I like to explore different shades.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Its a perfect polish for spring :)
ReplyDeletelove your videos tifanny!

I have the same opinion that StephanieR731 has. And I am sure it is not just our opinion. I read on Fashion Polish blog it is very similar to another Chanel nail polish called L.A Sunrise, so it basically is not even a statement polish, like the last collection Les Perles de Chanel.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you for sharing this post!
Have a nice day sweetie.

oh that looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to give yellow nail polish a go this spring!
It is such a pretty color, really fun and playful, but I would expect a good formula for that kind of money. Still, you look at it and just wanna smile.

I love this color on you, but there is no way it would look good with my skin tone!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous nail polish!
ReplyDeleteI love yellow, it’s a great happy color!
Nice colour.
ReplyDeleteJust yet I read a blog post about another yellow nail polish. But this one looks darker. So that was no dupe, unfortunately
Oh how great colour for Easter! (Eating easter-eggs right now...) But the prize and formula just don't match very well.

For this money, I would expect a fantastic formulation!! I bought a very similar color yesterday for 3.50 and it also streaks a little...but hey, for 3.50 I'm not too annoyed about it. For 25 I would be quite angry.
ReplyDeleteLove this colour, but may have to find a cheaper alternative maybe Barry M Yellow :-) x
ReplyDeletePero que bonito que se veeee
ReplyDeleteSorry: Look nice. XD
ReplyDeleteNot normally a fan of yellow polish but I love this colour! :)
ReplyDeleteMay have to get some myself when it's available in the UK!
Xx
Lovely!!!

china glaze solar power is the exact exact exactttt same color same formula
ReplyDeleteWhy does this bubble up? Did I get a bad bottle???? Are your nails acrylic?
ReplyDeleteI just got Sunshine from Avon the other day and it seems to be a good duplicate for this. Granted, it takes 3 coats for good coverage but it's also about $23 cheaper.

Revlon's Electric is an EXACT dupe of this.
