NOTD: Chanel Mimosa

Mimosa needs 2 coats to be fully opaque and has a pearlescent finish. It's a bit brighter on the nail than in the bottle.

This limited edition shade is not my color. The lime-green undertones do not compliment my skin tone very well. It looks better in pictures, but IRL it's not the best yellow for me. It would definitely go better with pale skin tones.

It's too bad this color doesn't work for me, I was coveting it so bad! 

Products Used:

Chanel- Mimosa.

NOTD: Chanel Eastern Light

Leave it to Chanel to make me want all of their Limited Edition polishes! This one is part of the Hong Kong De Chanel Collection. This color is supposed to be a "bold shade of opaque white".

Eastern Lights is a bright white polish {with a bit of a grey undertone} that needs at least 3 coats to be streak-free, it has a vague jelly-like consistence.

This color reminds me a lot of Essie's Marshmallow {seen here}, but Marshmallow is less opaque and takes 4+ coats and a lengthy drying time to look like this. 

There is another color in this collection called Western Light, it is a "deep chocolate, burnished with a heart of pearly red" if you're interested.

 I think i'll stick to this one, I love my white polishes!

I don't know why I decided it would be a great idea to schedule 2 interviews back to back after school last Tuesday! I guess I wasn't thinking. Luckily things went my way and I was early to both, as well as was given the opportunity to intern at both places {I think it was my amazing interview skills that got me both opportunites, but I did catch them eyeballing my business outfit! lol}. Since I can only choose one internship position I decided to go with the one where I can experience first-hand public health with respect to oral hygiene and help out my community at the same time!

I'm pretty excited to start this endeavor, especially since I think I can start wearing all my business casual clothes again {hopefully I don't get stuck wearing scrubs all day}! I miss the days where I worked as a receptionist and had a reason to buy heels and button down shirts {not that that has deterred me from completely letting go of my shopaholic nature. ha!}, but it's also nice to know that I'm almost done with my B.S.!!!



Hope you all have a wonderful week!
