after showing quartz and peridot from chanel's illusions d'ombres collection for autumn 2011, it is about time to show the third one, graphite.
graphite is a dark silver, but this is quite an oversimplification of
its colour. it is a metallic, foily polish that looks a bit textured,
while being perfectly smooth.
this unusual finish gives it more depth, so in shade it becomes more
pewter-y, even greenish. formula is amazing, so much that even the
chanel brush is not annoying me.
natural light:
i used base (china glaze strong adhesion) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts).
