Essie’s Summer 2012 Collection is already out in stores, and the most sought-after polish from this collection appears to be the light blue, Bikini So Teeny – it’s been sold out of most of the displays I’ve seen.  I found a bottle this week at an out of the way Walgreens and compared it to Chanel’s Coco Blue.  Swatches below!

Les Jeans de Chanel – Blue Boy

Chanel’s Les Jeans de Chanel Collection for Fashion’s Night Out caused near hysteria among some polish lovers – it’s a trio of blue polishes Chanel released for Fashion’s Night Out on September 8th.  These Fashion’s Night Out releases have become a Chanel tradition, and they’re pretty much guaranteed to sell out fairly quickly.  Fortunately, the Chanel website worked much better this year than last year.  I’ll have swatches of all three, and started with my favorite, Blue Boy.

Chanel Nouvelle Vague with OPI Simmer and Shimmer

Nouvelle Vague is an older polish, from Chanel’s Resort 2010 Collection – at the time, Chanel’s Jade was still on everyone’s mind, so it was called the “New Jade” by some people.  It was mostly wishful thinking since they’re not really anything alike, but I like Nouvelle Vague all on its own, and decided to revisit it last weekend.
