Chanel Holiday - Swatches and Review and a Comparison

Ready for more Chanel?  Tonight I have Chanel Holiday! I passed this up the first time I saw it because "I already have SO many oranges." Mistake. Holiday is gorgeous! Its from Chanel's Summer 2012 Collection, along with Island and Delight, both of which I DID pass on. They're pretty but don't go with my skin tone at all.

Holiday is a bright hot orange creme (or possibly crelly?) with some slight red and brown undertones that applies smoothly and is opaque in 3 coats. I might have used 4 coats on some of my fingers but I'm funny about visible nail lines. Most of you will need only 2 or maybe 3 coats. Formula is fantastic.

Of course it started looking familiar to me after I had it on, so I went searching through my stash of oranges and only one came close.  Dior Aloha!  So I did a quick nail wheel swatch. They aren't dupes of each other, however, most people would only really need one of the two. Except "collectors" of course. Hahaha!  Holiday has a teensy bit more brown in it while Aloha is a bit more "jelly-like" in finish.

And finally, after wearing it for a day, I decided to break out Lynnderella Cauldron Drippings to layer over it.

So what do you think? Is orange REALLY "the new red?"

  3. It looks so pretty! Love the combo with Lynnderella. Do you have any not so expensive dupes for this also?

    1. No, I really don't, ALTHOUGH, Milani Jiffy Orange is a fantastic orange creme. It's not as bright and doesn't have as much red, but it's really pretty.

  4. Chanel Holiday does seem to be a bit brighter in my opinion when next to the Dior color so if I had to choose I probably would pick up Holiday over Aloha.
