Chanel Fall 2011 Illusions d’Ombres swatches

I should have posted the Chanel Fall 2011 Illusions d’Ombres collection ages ago and truth is it's been swatched for a couple of months now... I've already posted Les Jeans before it and I can't bring myself to do the same with Rouge Carat.
On the other hand, you all know everything there is to know about Graphite, Quartz and Peridot by now, so what about just some pictures spam?

These are all 2 coats, no topcoat (unless specified)


Chanel Graphite







Chanel Quartz






Chanel Quartz with  Chanel Velvet Matte topcoat






Chanel Peridot





Overall :
I'm totally in love with Graphite and Peridot, obviously!
But Quartz is a let down for me, except mattified : it turns into an edgy taupy nude I love wearing on my fingertips!

    Well, I own Graphite and Peridot and love the heck outta them, but I never wanted Quartz - until now. It looks positively fantastic matted!! I may have to seek that one out as well =) Love it!

    I bought Graphite and i am perfectly happy with it, its has that fairytale dust silver-grey sparkling on it which i adore! i am mesmerized by my nails and can't stop looking at them, watching the color change a bit at different angles and the silver sparkles which seem to be dusted by a fairy upon my nails! i upsolutely adore it and i am so happy i got it!its perfect if you want a club-glam look!
    i was waiting for peridot to come and imagining it looking amazing on my nails but to be honest when i tried it, it let me down- its very weird as a color-its too gold-green and it looks like a bettle, so instead of buying it i bought another one that is similar but it has a green-blue color on it and not so much gold and that is the 'diving in malaysia' of sephora-which i wear all the time and adore it, the duochrome is mesmerizing
    quartz never appelead me as a color and when i tried it on it seemed as a common color to find in any brand and not as a true chanel that deserves the money you're going to pay for it

    I love all of these! And I own none. How is that fair? =) The matte topcoat really changes Quartz, eh? beautiful pics
