Chi Chi salon formula nail polish: Capital H.I.M.

Chi Chi is an Australian brand known for its bright rainbow of colour cosmetics.  They most certainly have a rainbow of nail polish shades too, although funnily enough I've breezed past the range so many times over the years without buying any - I have absolutely no idea why!  Maybe I thought the stuff was too young and fun for me?  Whatever.  Here I am now deciding not to be ageist toward myself and getting into the Chi Chi thing with this post.
 
Capital H.I.M. is my idea of the perfect lavender purple cream. Chi Chi very plainly describes this shade as a high gloss pretty purple.  They don't mention the lovely but elusive blue shimmer which can be seen in the bottle but disappears on the nails - that mythical shimmer sent to tease me!  Getting onto the application two coats delivered great coverage and I'm also happy to report this nail polish doesn't have strong toxic fumes unlike my last mani so it was a pleasant experience all round.  Not too bad for a $5 polish!

  1. Oooh I'm a huge fan of Chi Chi, their nail polishes are divine! That colour you're wearing is absolutely the most perfect lavender purple, I want! They also do great lippies, I highly encourage you to try them. xx

    1. Another Australian brand you/we must sample! I've been told that the lipsticks are great too so I'll have to do some field "research"! Lol

  7. Nice shade! I like how bright it is, instead of the fragile delicate kinds of lavender that are usually floating around during spring.

    1. I find brighter shades more uplifting generally. The more saturated the better with me sometimes!

  8. PURPLE! I want! I actually really like Chi Chi cosmetics...I have some of their eyeshadows (of course), a couple of liquid lipsticks, lipsticks and nail polishes...but this is a gorgeous pastelly purple that I simply must have. :)

    It looks gorgeous on you, Vita! xx
