My First Chanel! Peridot ♥

Hey guys!

Last week, a really sweet girl named Gemma so so kindly gifted me some of her unwanted polishes. I was so overwhelmed at how kind she was to just give away some of her polishes! Thank you so much Gemma. :)

One of the polishes she gave me was a CHANEL polish :D Can you believe it?! I was so excited to own my first Chanel! Ahh!

This is Peridot. You probably know that almost every company makes a dupe of this polish now and I do own the OPI version (Just Spotted the Lizard - if you want to see a swatch, I have a post on it on my old blog, here) but it's actually one of my favourite colours so I didn't mind owning the Chanel version too! :D It's also my boyfriend's favourite polish that I own! And I own a Chanel Peridot phone case sooo naturally I needed to have the polish too. :P

If you've never seen this polish before, which I doubt, it's a gold to green duochrome polish, that also flashes a little bit blue in the bottle but you don't see it much on the nail.
I'm so happy the sun made a brief appearance on the day I wore this so I could take a photo in the sun. It's really lovely and shimmery in the sun.

^ I blurred out the cap because it had fingerprint smudges all over lol! :/

Sorry if you see any air bubbles in my photos.. That was my top coat, Seche Vite. For some reason it was all bubbly. o.O I hadn't shaken it up or anything.

Thank you so so sooo much again, Gemma for your generosity and kindess. :)

iPhone 5 Case Review - casealice on Etsy

Hi guys! I have something a little different to share with you today! :)

I really like technology, phones in particular. I've been interested in that kind of stuff for a few years. I also love phone accessories! :D Before I got into polish, I collected iPhone cases! I owned a LOT of cases. When I started to collect polishes I stopped buying as many cases but I still love them. I've had my iPhone 5 for 2 months and I already have about 7 cases for it!

Today I have an iPhone 5 case from an Etsy shop called CaseAlice to show you. It's a plastic hard case with a Chanel nail polish print on the back! Cool, right?! What better way to accessorize my phone than with one of my favourite things! ;) ♥

Here's a bit about the case taken from the listing:

"All of my iPhone Cases are handcrafted in my home studio. I use a unique dye transfer process, where the image is permanently infused into a metal plate. The process really brings out the vibrant colors & details in each case. Both the rubber cases & plastic cases have the same vibrant detailed image."

The case that I chose is number 531, which is Chanel's Peridot nail polish. I don't own this polish (or any other Chanels actually) but this is the perfect way to sort of own it... :P There's loads of colours to choose from, though. On the shop they also have Dior, YSL, and NARS polish cases.

On the CaseAlice Etsy shop, there's a ton of different phone cases to choose from, for a few different types of phones including iPhone (4, 4S, 5) and Samsung.

You can also choose which type of material you want the case to be made of. There's plastic hard cases, or soft silicone cases and you can choose to have the case be black, white or clear (clear is only for the hard case). I chose to have a black hard case.

The case feels pretty well made and sturdy. These types of cases aren't exactly the most protective thing for your phone, but it doesn't feel flimsy or anything like that. All of your buttons and ports are accessible with the case on.

The only problem I had with the case, was when I tried to remove it. Usually I don't have any trouble removing cases from my phone but this one gave me a bit of grief lol. I ended up having to use a pen to pry it off. But I guess that's kind of a good thing? Your case won't just fall off haha. But if you like to change your case often like I do, it's a little bit of a problem.

I definitely recommend this case! They come in loads of different Chanel polish colours and they also have other polish brand cases, and other non-polish related cases.
