Chanel Riva Le Vernis Nail Colour: Like the Ocean in a Bottle - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Um, can yous say swoon? I've been dying — DYING! — to see the new Chanel Blast Lacquer in Riva ($27) e'er since it popped upwards on the runway at the Chanel Cruise fashion evidence last May. I've lusted over Riva more than than I've lusted over the abs of the official "Sexiest Human being Live," aka Ryan Reynolds.

Needless to say, that's, um, a lot of lust.

The express edition shade just launched online and in select Chanel stores as part of the five-piece Chanel Cote D'Azur resort drove. Also included in the release are four Rouge Coco lipsticks in Sari Dore, Perle, Taffetas Rose and Chintz ($xxx each).

Have you ever seen the sun reflect off a tropical sea on a hot mean solar day? Yes, Riva'south similar that! 🙂 It'south a mesmerizing pastel blue, and when the light hits it merely so, a hint of azure iridescence peeks through.

When I have it on my nails I feel similar I'chiliad sitting on my surfboard, waiting for the next wave, watching my hands equally they caress the crystal blue water surrounding me. *DROOL!* Information technology's similar the ocean in a canteen.

NOTE: Riva can be a little challenging. Information technology takes three layers to go to total opacity, and the texture, like many of the Chanel polishes I've worn, goes on thick, which tin can get in a footling tricky to evenly utilise.

And then in that location's the fact that information technology's hella expensive ($27)… Oh, how I long for those kinder, gentler days when shades like Chanel Flamingo were a mere $19.

Every bit much as the price hurts, I'm still Lady Gaga over the colour. I haven't tested it for wear fourth dimension even so, just if that's anything like my Chanel go-to's, Jade and Vendetta, Riva should hold upward for betwixt 7-10 days without chips.

Riva might test your patience if you don't like having to utilise three coats, but if you're a Chanel collector or a blue smooth fan, I think it'due south worth your fourth dimension.

PRICE: $27
AVAILABILITY: At Chanel stores and online
