Despite reading less than glowing reviews of Chanel nail polishes over the years I let my heart rule my head and bought one. I'm one of those people that seldom take a telling and have to see things to believe it, foolish I know when said nail polish set me back £18...ouch! A mistake I won't make again? 
I'd love to say that's the case but truthfully I don't find Chanel's nail polish to be worthy of such disdain. Sure it's not the world's best formula, far from it and not for one second do I believe it warrants such hefty price tag but if brands like MAC can charge £10 for their nail polishes which are some of the worst I have ever encountered I feel Chanel can get away with the just shy of £20 price point...keyword here being just!

Anyway less of the self justification and on to a quick review of Chanel's Orange Fizz.
Chanel Orange Fizz Nail Colour is of course an orange based coral and genuinely not all that original a shade and one you can probably dupe within most high street brands nail polish lines.
Essentially I saw a coral nail shade, the Chanel logo and got blinded like so many of us do as all things considered Orange Fizz is not in the slightest a special shade, pretty yes, special nope!

Despite being a thicker formula than some other nail polishes Chanel Orange Fizz applies fairly sheer and dare I utter it...patchy. For full opaque you will need to apply three coats which to Chanel's credit do dry quickly and with a high sheen finish. I seldom comment on wear time or apply a top coat for that manner (lazy) but after reading aforementioned reviews I decided to play it safe and slick on a quick coat of Seche Vite. I needn't have bothered as by the end of the day my nails were chipped and begraggled for lack of a better word.

Sorry Chanel as much as I bow to your alter of all things chic in the future I will be avoiding your nail polishes...well unless I get Chanel blindness once again!
