Chanel Pirate 08 swatches

Chanel Pirate 08 – I don’t know when it was released the first time, but I have an old and a new bottle in my collection, see below.
It was repromoted in the Rouge Allure Velvet coll. fall 2011.  

Pirate (shown with nail art HERE) is a blood red crelly, but it is pretty opaque in 2 coats. The formula is a just a tiny bit in the thin side, but not enough to cause problems. The shine is amazing!

Do you like this pirate :)

Old and new bottle, front and back, both made in France - do you know when Pirate was first released?
On MakeupAlley the earliest found reviews of it is from 2003, but I suspect it might be older, as this type of label also are on Chanel polishes from the 90's...

Abstract geometric doodling - Artsy Wednesday

Our theme in this Artsy Wednesday is geometric, and I wanted to use Christmas colors - so *Ky* feel free to say the C word ;)

The base color is Chanel Pirate 08 and with acrylic craft paint I painted some random patterns, maybe not truly geometric, but this is how it turned out LOL.

Vores tema i denne Artsy Wednesday er geometri, og jeg ville bruge julefarver.

Grundfarven er Chanel Pirat 08 og jeg malede nogle tilfældige mønstre med akrylfarve, måske ikke 100% geometrisk, men det er altså hvad det blev til haha…
