Hey! thanks for the advice and now I have an alternative to save some $$$$. But if I find the kaleidoscope Chanel nail polish in JCP or Macy’s here in Puerto Rico I do the sacrifice. I find this site accidentaly and I loved!

Yea this is a sunlight, but at didn’t look particularly yellow on me indoors either. It might because I have darker skin so the yellow tone isn’t as pronounced? But I totally feel your pain, sometimes it’s not good to buy substitutes because you end up just wishing you had bought the original. lol.

Well I was wondering did you take the picture in the sunlight? Because I know that at least INDOORS mine looks a lot more yellow.

Grr I wish I’d just given in for the Chanel lol.

Leanne – I’m not sure why your bottle looks highlighter yellow. I try really hard to make my swatches accurate but there are times when there are differences from bottle to bottle or from skin tone to skin tone that may affect the way a color looks. If you really hate it, I’m pretty sure it would be easy to swap on MUA. : ( I’m so sorry.

so i really wanted chanel gold fiction but since it was 10 dollars more than their regular polishes i forced myself not to buy it. when i saw the i get a kick out of gold polish on here it looked gorgeous so i bought it off of ebay. however it doesnt look the same as it does on here :( its a lot more highlighter yellow.

Thank you and yes, I completely agree. The gimmick is just not worth the money. Btw, I’m adding you to my blogroll. : )

I actually am comparing Laura Mercier 24 Karat to Gold Fiction in a post tomorrow, but I have to agree that Gold Fiction isn’t really worth the $30. Gasp, I can’t believe I spent that much for investigative np work. LOL

Polish Addict, I linked your article to my post because you hit the nail on the head. OPI is much better value for your money if you’re going the precious metals route this fall.

Sara I’m so sorry it took me so long to get back to you – your comment somehow ended up in my spam folder. lol. I’ve been lemming a few Jessicas for a while but they aren’t easily accessible to me yet. And I agree about gold, but I think the darker ones are pretty noticeable. : )

Have you ever tried Jessica’s Palladium? It’s similar to the first OPI, but a bit lighter – subtle but super glam and glittery. I’m completely in love with Jessica, as I only just discovered it – so I’m tooting their horn everywhere, because the colours are soooo pretty, and good quality too. I know, I sound like an advert!

I heard a rumour that darker, brassy gold shades are going to be big in the fall, and I can’t wait – that’s the thing with most gold nailpolishes, they’re gorgeous, but they don’t make a huge style statement as they’re so subtle.

Great swatches! I received my Chanel polishes a few days ago and your right on the money girl with symphony in gold. I don’t personally own this but, it looks dead on to me. You girls are going to die over Kaleidoscope, it’s truely gorgeous. Gold Nugget is completely different than Gold Fiction. It’s a light gold compared to the bronze gold like Dior’s. :)
