Tentation is described by Chanel as an "intense fuchsia" and that's a pretty good description. It's actually a cool-based red packed full of fuchsia/pink shimmer which does indeed give it an intense fuchsia appearance.
The photos are two coats with no top coat. Application was good, just as you would expect from a Chanel polish.

Someone asked how close Tentation was to Chanel Rouge Carat, so I did a quick comparison.
As you can see, they are totally different!
But as I wore Tentation throughout the day, I kept thinking I had something awfully similar. So when I got home, I poked around my stash a bit and came up with a few to do comparison shots with.

As you can see, most of them aren't even close to being dupes. There is one that is VERY similar though. OPI Peru-B-Ruby. It's the most similar in color AND finish. As far as color, the Milani Speed Up Pink is the closest color match, but it has a sparkle rather than a shimmer and is a few more coats to get the color match.

They're not what I call dupes, but they're close. OPI Peru-B-Ruby is slightly darker and a smidge bit more on the red side of fuchsia than Tentation. They do have the same fuchsia/pink shimmer though. In this case, I'd choose Chanel Tentation. The formula is slightly better and Chanel is Cruelty-Free.
What do you think? Will you be getting this one? Or any of the new Chanel polishes?
