The way I remember Métal Grenat is a fairly opaque burgundy red with golden shimmer, the way I perceive it now is a reddish brown jelly with golden shimmer. I fear that the red pigment has changed/disappeared over the years leaving me with this translucent dead leaves colour.....and perhaps the base has yellowed a bit as well!
I remember riding my bike and looking at the ground seeing all these mushy brown leaves laying on the road..."they look just like my nails, same colour >ieuw<"

It is a nice colour and the shimmer is gorgeous but it is much nicer in my head :-)
Next time I will try some undies in burgundy and Seche Vite as topcoat. I used Poshé here and it pulls the polish like crazy to the middle. I guess that has something to do with the old formula of the Chanel (with all kinds of yummy smelling poisons!).
wow, I LOVE this color!!!!! gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGosia, it really is isn't it?! Thank you <3
DeleteOh, I hate when polish change that much! (Or when you think they look completely different than what they actually do, lol).
ReplyDeleteI still think it's very pretty though and it looks gorgeous on your skin tone!
