Beauty Boom! Chanel Le Vernis #609 Coup de Coeur is My Favourite

Before the trip, I like to buff my nails and paint them on some interesting colours. With Sokos 25% coupon on beauty products, I acquire Chanel Le Vernis #609 Coup de Coeur, its lacquered plum has allured me since this July when I spotted it on Viking Line duty free, and now it becomes my ‘favourite’ with a VAT-less price.

Chanel #609 Coup de Coeur is released as a small collection during Spring 2014. It has quite a bit of red mixed but on the nails it's a purple-plum shade. However it proves to be challenging to photograph. Under sunlight and through the camera lens it looks much more like poppy red, while under the roof it becomes more like mauve plum, a very slight hint of pinky-berry with a cream finish, and it turns out to be dark mauve when yellow lights fading away.
 

It is richly pigmented and it applies beautifully together with # 615 Sweet Lilac. This time I play with two tones on each side of my toenails. The consistency of Coup de Coeur, unlike Sweet Lilac needs two-time application, is thick enough to put on single layer only; it goes on evenly, smoothly, and doesn’t pool along the edges of the toenails.

Le Vernis Coup de Coeur looks very similar to #533 April on the sight, the difference is that April is warmer and more reddish. That’s why I was once struggling at counter for around 5 minutes to consider in between. When I compare and contrast #535 May with #533 and #609, I know this Classic plum polish will be my ‘Coup de Coeur’ to my Chanel Le Vernis Collection.
