I received a fabulous gift of Les Jeans de Chanel today, so it seems that my waffling over whether to purchase them resolved itself without a decision ever being made. All three polishes are quite pretty, but I'd say Coco Blue is the standout of the collection. It's lighter than I was in the mood to wear, so of the other two I chose Blue Boy, the middle one, to wear today.
Blue Boy is a medium kind of slate blue creme, but bluer than slate blue and I don't know the official name of the shade, but that seems like a close enough description since I'm about to show you a picture anyhow. I used SpaRitual Lacquer Lock for a base, two coats of Blue Boy, and I topped it off with Addicted to Speed. At one coat, Blue Boy looked like it might be a jelly, but the second coat made it a super shiny Chanel creme. Blue Boy is to medium blue what Dragon is to red and Imperial to brown, where the color itself isn't out of the ordinary but the incredible gloss to the polish is. Whether that's $29 special is a personal call, I think, and I'm just glad my birthday falls when it does so I can stop evaluating whether it's $29 special and just enjoy wearing it.
This is Blue Boy in sunlight after it had dried.

| Chanel Blue Boy Nail Polish, Two Coats |
I haven't tried a new Chanel creme in quite some time, perhaps since last September, and I'd forgotten the high shine they have. It makes a simple color really a standout for me, so Blue Boy makes me happy. I think my reluctance to purchase high-end polishes has made gift giving very easy for people who like me - I'm suddenly really easy to shop for!
That's what I know about Chanel Blue Boy, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
