Chanel Summertime Holiday Swatches & Review

Tangerine Tango is THE (Pantone) color of the year for 2012. No wonder we've had so many outstanding oranges released lately.


 
Chanel Holiday is a dazzling hot orange creme with a dreamy formula. It's bold, eye catching and so well pigmented... Such a happy color! You could almost get away with one coat and... It dries to a super glossy finish! I'm totally in love with it. Orange is 'the new red", I'm telling you! ;-)
I used 2 coats plus topcoat in the swatches below.




Of course I had to include a quick comparison with the previously reviewed Nars Lal Mirchi and Dior Aloha (please follow the links to read the full posts)



As you can see Lal Mirchi is redder and Aloha a tad lighter and more saturated. They are quite close though and considering their price tags, you might be willing to skip the others if you already own one. Obviously I didn't and I don't regret it one bit  ^_^

Did you get any of these?  What's your favorite orange?

  6. Oh I love that color! I am considering getting it, though I already have Nails Inc Maliblush, which seems to be very similar, although brighter IRL even though it's hard to tell from pics. It all depends if I find it over here or not. Thanks for posting it!

  14. I'm partial to the Dior Aloha- it looks like the perfect bright but not too bright summer orange
