Le Vernis

I have recently been grieving the end of the summer months; it is now pitch black walking home at 5pm, I can see my own breath in the air, and the house is so terribly cold the cat feels the need to join me under the duvet of an evening. I am also mourning, with the end of the summer months the fact that, as my bestie reminded me 'It is not acceptable to wear pastels on your nails anymore, its winter now.' 

Enter my new winter find, dark enough for the wintery nights but sparkly enough to brighten my day. It  also happens to be my absolute favourite, favourite nail polish find to date. 

On purchase of a new bronzer at the Chanel counter (honestly once a year only, I'm not always that extravagant,) the glimmering, glittering, liquid metal lacquer, in its glorious little Chanel bottle not only caught my eye, but practically screamed out at me to buy it. On picking up the tester, to admire in all its splendour, the clever Chanel counter assistant just happened to mention that 'this one is limited edition -so won't be available for too much longer.' I think we both knew at this stage I was sold. 

So there goes 25% of the remainder of my student loan that needs to last me 'til January, but at least I have glimmering, glittering (wintery) nails.  

My glimmering, glittering nails.
