Chanel Canicule 59 swatches - vintage

Chanel Canicule 59 – is vintage, but I do not know exactly how old it is, do you? I know it is earlier than 2002.

Canicule (means heat wave) is a gorgeous red full of shimmer and silver micro glitter, I wore this for Christmas 2013 – so yes, shorter nails!

It is fairly opaque in one coat, but I prefer 2 coats like you see here, and I did not use a top coat for these photos. The application is a breeze and the finish is smooth and shiny! 
I showed it with nail art HERE!

I love it - do you?

Canicule ribbons with flowers for Christmas

The base color is the vintage Chanel Canicule 59, a gorgeous and shimmery red with a little micro glitter. I wore this for Christmas (still am) and I painted simple ribbons and flowers in acrylic craft paint before I top coated with Seche Vite.

By the way I looked up Canicule thinking it might be connected to Canis (dog) in Latin, and it kind of was as “dog-days” is a hot period during summer…

Grundfarven er min vintage Chanel Canicule 59, en super smuk rød med masser af shimmer oget let mikroglitter. Jeg have den på til jul (har den faktisk stadig på), og jeg malede enkle bånd med en blomst på med akrylfarve, og toplakken er Seche Vite.

Jeg var for resten nysgerrig efter at vide hvad Canicule betyder, for jeg tænkte det kunne have forbindelse til Canis (hund) på latin. Og lidt havde det, idet det betyder en hedebølge/varm periode om sommeren, som vi også kalder hunde-dagene her i landet.
