The polish applied quite well. It's a thick formula so I had to be careful to remove excess from the brush before applying. It wasn't streaky and was reasonably opaque after a single coat. The pictures below are with two coats.
It may not be a good dupe but I like this colour nonetheless. I love murky purples so this is definitely my sort of shade. As ever, I'm reluctant to make comments about the durability of the polish. I applied last night and as you can see there is some tip wear already. I didn't apply any top coat though and I'm forever washing my hands so this doesn't help.
I bought the Car Key polishes from the Boots website. You have to look carefully for the names: Grace Green, Becca's Brown and Purple Ash, as they are listed amongst the permanent line with no swatches.
This is a gorgeous autumny colour - I love this sort of purple too. Had a look in Boots last week but they didn't have these in, I'll have to resist going on the website and ordering from there!
ReplyDeleteoh thank you for showing us this. i'm in need of new polishes, but get bored with the very dark ones that tend to be around at this time of year - this one is a much incer alternative. i really want disco mix too because i'm really a 5 year old girl trapped in a grown woman's body ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour for Fall/winter!!Great choice hun!:)

Looks good! I too love a murky purple :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous colour, been checking my local boots for this and no sign of it yet! x
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite sort of purple, I too am waiting on Boots to stock these, determined not to cave in and order online. Thanks for the post, and pics.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks great for Fall!!! :)
ReplyDeletetruly gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteOoh I like this one a lot! I thought I was all nail polished out after I bought a load in the Models Own sale but I think I can make room for at least one more! (Disclaimer: When I say one, what I really mean is several! lol) :)

I saw this online and was a little unsure of the colour but it looks gorgeous and perfect for Autumn, will definitely invest! :)

Have a feeling, having looked at Models Own site that these wont be in Boots til 6th Oct, although no dupe, not even very close to the Chanel shades these are still lovely colours that I NEED!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely with the skin colouring of your hands. I love muddy colours, but my hands seem to be permanently reddish and the clash of undertones is horrible...sigh.

Lovely colour for fall!Thanks for sharing!I might get one of the series ( Grace Green most probably). :)
ReplyDeleteMissy Ellie: I love the colour. I have a feeling that it’s only online at the minute. I ordered online for delivery at my local store so it was free.
ReplyDeleteMissisG: Loved your comment! I’m definitely still a little girl at heart. How’s your friend’s little one getting on? I keeping thinking about them and hope they’re making a good recovery x
@Blushingloves: Thanks lovely, I really like it. I think I need to do a little comparison to some of my other similar colours.
@Chicky Spouts: I have this on my fingers and Paradoxal on my toes. Definitely my favourite sorts of colours.
@WelshBeautyBlog: I think it’s just online at the moment. I think you’ll really like it.
@lipstickmama: I couldn’t resist, I’m rather a fan of the order online and collect in store. There’s a tiny Boots 5 minutes walk away so it’s irresistible!
@Stavroula: It’s a really nice colour, I’m really pleased that I got it.
@liloo: Thanks hun xx
@Ms. Wedgie: Well, with your bargainous new storage it would be almost rude not to! ;)
@Jess: It’s a very nice colour, definitely worth a look.
@Debbie: Yes, definitely not a dupes but certainly lovely colours. I enjoyed reading your comments on Make Savvy’s dupe thread x
@Nina: What a shame, I do know what you mean though. I had a similar problem with the pastel purples. I always find it disappointing when I find a colour I like but can’t wear.
@Ria: I’m always happy to share :).
Thanks for all of your comments,

This this colour Jane :)
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous on you! Im very intrigued by the carkey collection! Will have to look into it! Great post my lovely

I think the colour looks a lot like Nails Inc's Victoria too, one of my faves!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sinead. The colours aren't really that similar to the Chanel versions but I think they are very nice in their own right. Definitely worth a look.
ReplyDeleteHi Winnie, I really like this colour. After doing a comparison to some of my others I'm really pleased to say I didn't already have anything similar. It's a very nice shade.
