Can you believe that this nail varnish was originally released in December 2009? I honestly don’t know where the time goes.
You can read my original review of Particuliere here, but WordPress seems to 
have eaten my photos of it. So put the two together and you’ve got the full review!
I wanted to revisit Particuliere the other day for no reason other than the fact that I had a hankering for it. One of the good things about being a nail blogger is that at least if you get a sudden yen to wear something, the odds are you’ll have it (or something very like it) in your collection. Plus this is an expensive polish so I figured I might as well get some use out of it.
In my head, I’ve built Chanel polishes up to be something
of a monster. You know, cost a fortune, last for about ten minutes. However, when revisiting Particuliere without having the novelty value of a new and sought-after Chanel shade, I was able to see that actually, it’s a rather nice thing. It applied perfectly in two coats and dried fast, to a shiny yet muted finish.
Whilst I haven’t forgiven Particuliere for just peeling off my nails after it had been worn for about 12 hours, I had better luck this time around. Yes, I had tipwear after a day, and the corners of my nails were looking like they were going to give in and chip any moment, at least there wasn’t any peeling this time. But, on balance, I’d still take the £3.00 Barry M Mushroom over this.
What do you think?
