Chanel Taboo

Hey guys!

Here's a lemming fulfilled :) Chanel Taboo is so beautiful. You guys know I'm not opposed to dropping a bit more than usual if I really like the polish (Lynns, I'm looking at you) but for some reason, I didn't want to drop $27 for this one. I went to the mall earlier with my mom so she could pick out an early Mother's Day gift (she's picky) and of course we wound up in Lord & Taylor. My mom's addiction is perfume and her expensive taste brought us to the Chanel counter. She picked out Chanel No. 5 as her present, and because I did such a selfless thing in buying it for her, I treated myself with Chanel Taboo. I regret nothing...right now. I'm sure my bank statement will cause some regret but, meh. Life's too short to not do what you want, right?

Anyway, this polish is SO difficult to capture accurately. Holy crap, is she pretty, but she doesn't like pictures. Both my mother and I gasped when we saw her in the sun. Breathtaking. A pain in the ass to capture on camera, but still breathtaking. Here's some attempts:

Sun

Indoor with Flash

Shade with Flash

The formula on this was wonderful. As it should be, it costs way to much for a bottle. This is 3 OPI bottles...Anyway, I love it but I hate that pictures don't show the blue shimmer that makes this so unique. The base of this reminds me of OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest. It's not the same but they remind me of each other. You can see an AWESOME comparison of the two by Gotham Polish HERE.

What do you think? Do you like this polish? Is it worth the $27 to you, or am I just crazy? Let me know, thanks for reading! :D
