Happy Friday!!!!!!!
Today I have a fairly recent release from Chanel - Paparazzi from their Avant-Première de Chanel Collection that was released in mid-April 2013. There were 3 new nail colors (and a re-promote of Provocation) in this mini-collection, Paparazzi, Cinéma and Starlet. The other two new ones just didn't call my name this time around as they didn't seem unique but Paparazzi practically screamed at me, begging, nay pleading, to come home with me.

| Chanel 579 Paparazzi |
Paparazzi is a rich terra cotta or burnt sienna polish with copper glass fleck. The shimmer is great and much more visible on the nail than I expected. It doesn't really show much at arm's length in indirect natural lighting but in the sun or in artificial lighting, you can definitely see it. No issues at all with formula or application. It's almost a one-coater, too! A decent medium coat, especially on shorter nails, would definitely be opaque. I did use two light coats here though and no top coat for the photos.
I've seen this described as a "plummy brown," a "china-rose," a "mauve rose" and just plain "mauve" and either I got a different color than they did or we all have different connotations of colors in our heads. Mine is definitely in the orange/brown family. Go figure. But have a look at the photos, which are color accurate, and you tell ME what color you think this is...
