Astor Quick'n'Go nailpolish again! Minty green this time!

I really like this new acquisition in my nail polish deptartment. It's name is "361" (wish they had actual names, too) - It is a  powdery minty green and as you might have read before in this blog, I love the Quick'n Go polish range from Astor, because is fast drying (not 45 seconds tho... but somewhere at 2 minutes or so...) and the brush is amazing! I blogged about the amazing brush before (the "1 sec. flash brush"), it's just so easy to use and fast indeed! The color is pretty, not too bright, which makes it easier to wear. I applied 2 coats like 4 days ago and it still didn't chip at all on my nails, which is fab! Of course, I am always using a base coat and a top coat, too.
This is how it looks:

Chanel Black Pearl (no 513) Nail Color

Okay so I tried the new Chanel polish that I bought for my bday, and I can tell you what I liked and what I did not like about it, now, after 5 days of wearing it. This is how it looks, I wanted to take a pic in natural light so I did it in the car but I guess the gray board is taking away from its real shade:
It is a dark grey with a pearly sheen and with some greenish-blueish tones, it actually does look like a black pearl. If applied in one coat is very see-through but can be nice if you are into the more subtle look, only that it can get streaky if you are not careful when applying it, but I guess that's nothing bad for a polish that wants to make your nails look like a pearl because the uneven aspect is okay in that case. I applied 2 coats here with a transparent base and no top coat. It didn't dry too fast and the brush is the classic one, long and thin so you have to be careful with it. I prefer the new ones that are shorter and wider, i will show you what I am talking about in another post. I have been wearing it for 5 days and now it's really chipped at the tips of the nails even if my nails are not long and I was careful not to scratch things or wash dishes, lol. So I can say I am not very pleased with its resistance on the nail. It is a pretty color but I will not buy Chanel nail polish again cuz apart from the special color (which gets fast copied by other (way cheaper) brands anyways), I see nothing special about it to justify the 22 euros price!
But I will definitely be using this one for a while cuz the color is really nice and anyways, I have to use it now, for all that money! haha
