It's lovely, but because I already have MB, I think it's too similar (for me) to justify getting it. <br /><br />Anyway, I also wanted to let you know that you CAN get a very good dupe of Chanel Peridot from Jessica, called Iridescent Eye. And it's $7.50! I don't know if they ship to Canada, but here's the link: http://www.jessicacosmetics.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=peacock-queenflipflopgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-15065371411038348202011-11-02T22:52:06.745-04:002011-11-02T22:52:06.745-04:00Thanks for the head's up, Blkrox!

I might have to order online as my last resort (since I'll be bugging family :P).

I'll have to see what Lady Luck has in mind for me and Peridot. :P<br /><br />I hear you, Anthea! I also have the same problem. But it's more because I feel I have to "save" some for special occasions. Sales are my weakness though. Anything over 50% off and I'm guaranteed to buy at least 1 thing that I may or may not end up needing to begin with. (The power of sales compels you!

It&#...Thanks, Mary! I knew you'd love this. :D<br /><br />It's funny that you mention it as that's exactly was I was thinking too! When I was looking for this in the display, I asked Mr. J to help me look for it and he said, "What? You're looking for Mossy B*tches?" I guess it goes both ways! Hahaha!<br /><br />I still have one more color from them to review and I plan to pick up a few more since they're so easy to get a hold of and fairly cheap. Maybe it's the price that's throwing people off? You know, the bad stereotype where the cheaper it is the worse the quality gets?Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-69228253646418647382011-11-02T02:25:48.791-04:002011-11-02T02:25:48.791-04:00If you have family/close friends in the US, Perido...If you have family/close friends in the US, Peridot is still available on the Chanel website and they're offering free shipping until Dec. 16.

(I'm sure even thrifty Hammie would change his mind when he sees its fantastic duochrome powers.)<br /><br />I've belatedly bloomed into my makeup buying and experimentation phase, and now I've resolved to only buy during sales for at least the next few months. (I'm looking at my current collection from past hauls and more than half of them are unused! So I really can't justify buying more... unless they're on sale! =D)Anthea Villanuevanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-81594983865656843222011-10-24T12:26:06.320-04:002011-10-24T12:26:06.320-04:00Great review and pretty swatches!

Makes me think of clothes that hasn't been washed in years and got...mossy? :P This is a great colour, and actually, the name makes me want it.<br /><br />I agree with you that this brand could use more love. They always have many colours at Sally's, but oddly, I've only picked up 2 or so. Would love to see more swatches of this brand.Swatch And Learnhttp://twitter.com/SwatchAndLearnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-7084075401515699722011-10-24T12:11:44.730-04:002011-10-24T12:11:44.730-04:00Maybe the gold of it is what reminds me so much of...Maybe the gold of it is what reminds me so much of metal. I've never quite gone out of my comfort zone of neutrals in terms of eyeshadow colors but I have been wanting to try some greenish golds or even purples and blues!<br /><br />Hahaha, thanks! It hasn't been easy but a little patience (and sales scouting + coupons) do pay off. If you've noticed from my Truckload Tuesdays I tend to buy in bulk. So after I do, I have some "no buy" periods to even out the costs. I've never purchased a designer nail polish yet though so Chanel Peridot might still be the exception to the rule..if I can find it that is!Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-79494617380717241042011-10-24T12:00:34.252-04:002011-10-24T12:00:34.252-04:00I'm glad Hammie made you laugh. :) He's do...I'm glad Hammie made you laugh. :) He's doing his job well, then!<br /><br />Hahaha! Oh Marta, you enabler, you! Just when I've all but convinced myself I couldn't justify a $25 bottle of polish.. You have no idea how much I've stared at swatches of Peridot. My frugal, coupon loving side has been warring with my indulgent, splurgerrific side ever since I saw this polish. I'll try to see if I can still find a bottle and if I do, I'll get it since it's LE and if there's still one lonely Peridot bottle out there, it's meant to be. :D<br /><br />I'm thinking it's New Bohemian's fault. It paved the way for the blues. Although it might also be the weather. I've been gravitating to more spring appropriate colors myself (like pale purples and greens) to cheer me up.Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-50938504721942941912011-10-24T11:13:05.345-04:002011-10-24T11:13:05.345-04:00I love greenish gold eyeshadow--and I love them on...I love greenish gold eyeshadow--and I love them on nails too. Actually, I like greenish-gold on clothes and accessories too... I'm a pinks and peaches girl, but greenish-gold has a certain appeal. This particular color is pretty, but it doesn't quite satisfy the greenish-gold craving--it's a bit too gold.<br /><br />Wow, so you've never broken your limit? I applaud your willpower. But don't you think it's okay to splurge on an item if you're going to save afterward? Like get dollar polishes--or no polishes at all for a while? I do think designer prices are rarely justified, but then, what if it's the exact thing you're looking for?<br /><br />(I looked at the Chanel Peridot post. *____* OMG I think it's the most beautiful nail polish I've seen in my entire life. It looks like it's worth the price tag.)Anthea Villanuevanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-66554280749559734062011-10-24T08:50:21.566-04:002011-10-24T08:50:21.566-04:00Camela, I literally burst out laughing at Hammoe f...Camela, I literally burst out laughing at Hammoe from the Hamstons ;)<br />That being said you won't like what I say: these swatches are beautiful on you and gold/olive green colours are part of my fall stash too but Peridot is soooo worth breaking your self imposed no buy. I too cringe at a $10+ nail polish price tag but I am craving a backup bottle of Peridot. <br /><br />This shade you are sporting is like the medium tone of Peridot, but Peridot is THE strongest shimmery duochrome I own. It goes from light gold, to gold, to this lovely green to an aqua blue! I might send Hammie a hamster treat to have him sing you a different tune. Honestly! Peridot = MUST HAVE ;)<br /><br />I am oddly attracted to pastel baby blues this season... Not really a fall shade but I'm digging them right now. :)<br /><br />Pssst... You are getting very sleepy, you want to get Peridot, Peridot would be a great addition to your collection <br />What!?! Who said that!? Hammie?Martahttp://www.chitchatnails.comnoreply@blogger.com
