This week I am wearing Chanel Gris Obscure on my nails. It is from the Chanel Fall collection in 2016 and I had totally forgotten that I own this one. Gris Obscure is a very dark grey with silver micro-shimmer. This one has a creme base, not a jelly base which would have made this nail polish so much more beautiful.
It is still a very good option for a wearable "black" nail polish. Pure black nail polishes are often hard to wear because they tend to compete with the skin tone, not to mention they are usually difficult to apply. Since Gris Obscur is technically a grey and thanks to that micro-shimmer that is almost invisible to the eyes yet adds some dimension to the color, it applies and wears well. I usually paint a generous single coat and find it enough for coverage. Wear time is average with some tip wears in a week if you use a good base and topcoat.
Thank you for looking! It's another uncertain month but I am hopeful that the city will be slowly opening in a week. There are many words and thoughts floating around these days and the recent racist events certainly have made me retrospect. And, the truth is that I haven't fully wrapped my head around it. I know that something has to be done so I have signed a petition and made a small donation to ACLU. I hope you join in a way you can as well and we will make positive changes this time.
