Today I
have Chanel Cristalline 25 (made in
France) on my index and ring finger and Cristalline
Opal (made in USA) on the middle finger and the pinkie.
They are
of unknown age, but old, and maybe they were released at the same time.
Both are
sheer pearlescent polishes with a gorgeous pink shimmer, it does seem as the
Made in USA version is a bit more opaque and a little less yellow-toned, but my
half bottle of Cristalline 25 might have been thinned by an previous owner – or
maybe the same pigments weren’t available/allowed in both countries – who
knows...For normal nails 1-2-3 coats are enough depending on how sheer you wanted the look, but with my super ridged nails I had to go for full opacity, so this is 4 coats.
1.400+ indie polishes and 100+ indie brands: Indies & Co.
I prefer Cristalline Opal :-) Nice base for stamping with some holo stamping polish? ;-)
SvarSletIt would be - but also a bit no-go with this old and rare one, too expensive to play with ;)
Sletboth are cute shade :) I don't see any difference between them o.O
SvarSletThere is a subtle difference, maybe best seen from a bigger monitor...
SletI think you should paint some of your beautiful flowers on them, that would looks sooo nice! :)
SvarSletI'm sure you are right, but, no - not going to happen ;)
SletSurprisingly, I like them both. I'd prefer European version, but I like the US version on you better.
SvarSletYes, I also like the US version better on me :)
SletThis shade is lovely!
SvarSletI'm glad you like it!
