chanel mysterious (superstition)

superstition was chanel's autumn collection back in 2013, and i have no idea why i waited to show misterious until now. you can see my other pick, alchimie, here.

misterious was described as a "deep khaki", but i would call that deep very, very deep. it is more like a quite blackened olive green with some grey and brown undertones. a nicely flowing creme, very elegant and pretty.

chanel alchimie (superstition)

2013 autumn chanel collection is called superstition, and has three polishes: elixir, mysterious (that i also bought) and today's star, alchimie.

the official descriptions can be problematic, but this time, i think it captured the essence correctly: "a golden khaki". promo photos scared me that it would be really close to peridot (don't get me wrong, i'm a huge peridot fan), but the new one is much less shimmery and golden.

i mentioned already that i'm a huuuge fan of olive color (funny enough, i hate olives), so this one is not an exception. with these shades, you either love them or hate them. although it is a metallic polish, application is easy enough. there is a brushstroke here and there, but nothing really visible in real life.
