Robertson Boulevard Nail Polish by Chanel
While I am not a great fan of the quality of Chanel’s nail polish (why oh why don’t they improve this??), the colors never fail to totally rock. They have just released the Robertson Boulevard collection:
This pink is to die for. Yellow, while not a color I can wear, if you can wear it, its gorgeous and super current.
Chanel polish retails for $25, and is available at your nearest Chanel boutique or online at Chanel.com.
BTW, what I *don’t* like about Chanel polish can be pretty easily remedied. After a few uses, the polish thickens up to the point where it applies poorly and chips easier. Try one or more of these tips to keep your polish in the best shape you can:
1. To remedy thick polish - add a little bit of base coat to the polish, shake, and you should be in good shape.
2. Always clean the neck of your bottle after each use with polish remover - this will keep air out which will cause the solvents in your polish to evaporate and thicken.
3. One more thing you can do, which isn’t necessarily practical with Chanel or other expensive brands (unless you are totally hooked on the color), is buy two bottles. Keep one as a refill bottle, and keep the working bottle always filled. Again, this keeps air out of the bottle, keeping your polish fresh and thin.

These nail polishes are ridiculously expensive. Can anyone really tell a difference?

They are ridiculous - you are paying for the Chanel brand and the color trends they never fail to start. :)

I agree with you totally! This was one of my first beauty splurges, which I actually paid double bc I bought it in England. It chipped on me within a couple days and I had to add nail polish remover to the bottle to thin it out beacause it had gotten so thick and clumpy! I stick with the cheapies now.

I bought some of the nail polish by Chanel, and its not worth it at all. Unless these new Robertson store colors are actually thick and show up on your nail..then i probably wont be the first in line to buy them

Actually, the best way to deal with thick polish is to purchase a nail polish thinner from a beauty supply store.
