I was wearing OPI Goldeneye (again) to an evening party last night. It was really beautiful in the dim green&blue lightning they had there! I'm really loving this n/p!

I don't have any Chanel polishes either (I just counted and I have hit the 200 line), they are just way too expensive (over 30 USD). They don't fly off the shelves here - I just spotted a bottle of Peridot in a dept. store.

Who needs Peridot when you have a gazillion dupes? Most of which have better formulas than Chanel.

I made the mistake of buying Paradoxal and Graphite because of the hype. Roll on several months and there were dupes popping up left right and centre!

Chanel, Nars, Dior, Estee Lauder, China Glaze, Deborah Lippmann, Essie, OPI, Orly, Nfu Oh, Lancôme, Sinful Colours, Zoya, YSL, Revlon, I think this is it here ( around 100 nail polishes only ) and to me the best are : OPI, Nars, Essie, Deborah Lippmann, YSL, Chanel, Zoya, Orly, Sinful Colours, in no particular order. The not so good : Revlon, Estee Lauder, Lancôme.
China Glaze is neither good or bad, just the average but I think the EU formula is different ( Essie is different too ).
Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's dream is unique, Orly fluos are great, OPI are very pretty, Essie too, Nars are beautiful and long wearing, Chanel are pretty but yes they are expensive ( Deborah Lippmann too, around 20 € per bottle ), Nars too ( 18 € ). The Lancôme formula is thick and it smells bad, Revlon is some kind of budget, Estee Lauder are not so long-wearing in my own experience. But again, our EU formulas are not the same at all.
Chanel are smooth and not irritating at all, Zoya are smooth and very very good too.
Chanel Péridot is pretty but highly dupable I guess. The most interesting is Chanel nail polish remover, very very smooth formula, a delicate perfume. Still very expensive though ( 16 € for a small bottle ! ), but their polishes are all dupable I am the 1st to admit it !

I agree that chanel is fupa me but I need at least one in my collection lol I guess I'm just going to wait for it because nothing stands out to me except that blue sky line one. I used to buy revelon they work pretty good but I haven't bought one in over a year. most of my collection is OPI and Essie. I like butter london , illamasqua And zoya. now that I have like every shade of every color ( not really lol) I need to be more selective in the colors I pick. I need to get a NARS np too!

The Nars formula is very good, long-wearing polishes and beautiful bottle/packaging too which is important to me. Maybe you could try a Thakoon ( so bright and wearable colours ) or Andy Warhol colours ( the teal one is incredible ). Chanel formula is probably not as good as Nars but there are pretty shades. " Beige " is special, I don't know if it's a good advice, Frenzy is much flattering I think.

I know the Chanel colors are dupable and that I can find a good amount of them in Revlon's less expensive line, but I still want the Chanel colors. I guess I like having the source of the dupe. Lol! Chanel's formula also works great on my nails.

I purchased NARS Superstar (the teal Andy Warhol shade) only moments ago from Nordstrom.com. They're offering a deluxe sample of NARS Skin Double Refining Exfoliator with any online NARS purchase. It'll be my first NARS polish.

hmmm now I'm going to check out NARS colors lol that one u got sounds so pretty cartoonchick
I was going to grab it during Sephora's 20% off sale, but they've been sold out of Superstar and some of the other Andy Warhol colors for a while. Beauty.com's 20% off sale ends today, but they only have the purple Andy Warhol color. I plan to get more NARS polishes if I like the way Superstar applies and wears. I've always liked the Thakoon colors that Dominique mentioned, but NARS was too high priced for me at the time. Not anymore since I started buying Chanel! I also want to check out Zoya polishes now because of the good reviews mentioned here. Right now my polish collection only consists of Finger Paints and China Glaze from Sally Beauty, Revlon, Chanel, and a lone YSL polish.
