CHANEL Summer 2011: 577 Mimosa NOTD

Sunshine on the nails, thats what it is! 

A bright yellow with very fine shimmer...
having deja vu? looks like OPI's "Need Sunglasses?" right? but I must tell Mimosa leans more towards the cool side.

I needed 3 coats for this NOTD. Application is quite difficult, its a very streaky polish! but I discovered that its easier to apply in a warm environment (turned off AC) rather than in an air-conditioned room. I sweat buckets, but achieved better results. *whew!* :D

Mimosa is a limited edition shade and retails for Php1,350 (approx. USD31) at Rustan's.

Happy Monday!
♡,
G

    Oh wow, the color is surprisingly vibrant! When I saw the promotional photos I thought it would look more pastel but it's actually quite bright! Looks lovely though! :D

    the yellow is gorgeous! Another cult shade it seems! I have yet to try any Chanel nail polishes.. perhaps I am too much of cheapskate to get myself to buy one LOL.

    The color is super gorgeous on you! I just realized I don't have any yellow polishes, so I'm going to go look for some dupes for Mimosa xD As much as I love the color, can't bring myself to pay that much for it.

    What a special COLOR! hahaha I hardly ever see anyone wear yellow nailpolish~ I like it! For me, I like to wear crazy colors that people would usually avoid. tehehe I must not conform! ^.^

    Gotta sweat for good looks, right? ;)
    Anyhow, it's a shame that a Chanel polih is so streaky. I know that all polihes are the same, but I just want to believe that for that money one'd get quality =(

    BTW, May I take up on your offer of helping me with that MUFE mascara? It was a long time ago that you mentioned that you could help getting it......I just thought I'd give it a chance >.<

    YSL pulled out? OMG That's really unfair! Thankfully we have them in every dep.store. Even tho we get new releases later (and more expensive ha!) than other countries, still....if you want anything... :)

    okay, so the mascara's full name: Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash (link: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P237501 ) This is the waterproof version (note the blue stripe) and I'd like this one over the basic non-waterproof if possible.
    Love you! <333333


    I'm so jealous that you have a local MUFE store! T_T I only had a sample of this mascara about 1,5years ago and since then no full sizes are available and samples are either super-duper overpriced on ebay or simply won't ship to my country @_@
