The base color is Chanel Rodeo Drive 277, see swatches HERE, and even if it has come to my attention that a certain group of women apparently think it’s a no-go to paint nail art on a Chanel, I felt the need to celebrate this beautiful polish the best way I can, by painting flowers… I used acrylic craft colors and the top coat is Seche Vite.
What do you think - do you think it's OK or a no-go to paint nail art on a Chanel???

I like this manicure, thanks for sharing this article with us!
SvarSletI love all the different colors and details in this manicure
Your blog looks amazing as well <3

Thank you so much Julia, you are very kind :)
SletThe colors in your design are great together. But I know the problem with OPI polishes: I think they have to be worn on their own because they are so perfect on their own ;) Anyway, this is a great base color!
SvarSletThank you so much. Hmmm I kind of feel the same with strong holos :)
SletIt looks nice. It suits the Chanel :)
SvarSletWhat acrylic craft colours do you use?
Thank you so much!
SletI use different brands, but I love "Plus" and the metallics from "A'Color"...
Ah, I don't know them ;)
SletAh what a pretty Chanel, I remember loving it before! And those flowers are amazing too Maria. The green for the stems is gorgeous and really goes with Rodeo Drive. :-D
SvarSletNo nail art on a Chanel? Hehe who said that? You take a gorgeous polish and make it even more beautiful - where is the harm in that? ;-)
Thank you so much Ananka <3
SletA group of women - I'm not going to mention names, but a handful of ladies...
So obviously we aren't ladies :D
"...certain group of women apparently think it’s a no-go to paint nail art on a Chanel..." Do they have some vision problems? :-) I think your flowers make every nail polish more beautiful :-)
SvarSletLOL - I'm not sure ;)
SletThank you so much Tanja, I really appreciate your thoughts!
And right you are! This mani is so pretty :)
SvarSletAww, thank you so much my friend!!
SletNo nail art over Chanels? That sounds so snobby.
SvarSletI love this nail art. Colours go really well together, but I especially like how you did nail art only on two nails. It gives an interesting twist.
I'm so pleased you like this version - I have rethought my nail art and you will see a different style in the future - often involving only two nails :)
SletThanks a lot Vedrana!
That's a real lovley floral. <3
SvarSletKind regards,
Elena
Thank you so much Elena, I'm happy to hear it!
Slethmmm, no nail art on chanel sounds just like that nonsense which says that women over thirty is too old for nail art, so i say to those loud and clear :P
SvarSletlovely combo :*
LOL - there actually are people thinking that youcannot wear bright polishes after thirty - I know one at least :D
SletThank you so much Zana!!
Oh yes, that is awesome!
SvarSletThank you so much John!!
SletSo pretty, love the flowers!
SvarSletI'm so pleased to hear this, thanks a lot Emma!
SletI love it with the flowers!
SvarSletThank you so much Irina, I'm happy to hear it!
SletI guess there isn't a rule about using Chanel polishes right? I love it with the flowers :)
SvarSletLOL, not as far as I know - maybe some un-spoken ones ;)
SletThank you so much Irmak!
It's some really pretty flowers. I think it's allowed to do nail art on whatever polishes you feel like. Your polishes = your decision.
SvarSletI'm so pleased you like them, thanks a lot Marianne!
SletAnd yes, of course you are right!!
