Graphite vs. Carbonite

I'm just going to cut to the chase.....in my opinion, they do not compare. What makes Chanel Graphite so special is the sparkle and shine, Revlon Carbonite has **zero** sparkle and shine. They are the same "color", meaning in the dark they look the same but who lives in the dark?!
So, in conclusion (for me) Chanel Graphite is a must have and because it's LE a back up is needed. Stat! Revlon Carbonite is a lovely shade and the formula was great, almost a one coater.

See what I mean? I know I don't need to tell you which is which!

Small weekend haul!


This weekend I set out on a search for the new Revlon polish, Carbonite. It's said to be a good dupe for Chanel Graphite and since I was *thisclose* to buying a backup, I figured I'd give the Revlon a shot.
I first stopped at Ulta. No luck on the Revlon but I picked up: OPI Nice Stems mini's, Pixel polish in Spy Wear and Escada Taj Sunset purse size perfume.


After Ulta I headed to Walgreens. There I picked up: Wet n Wild 2 pack with Grey's Anatomy and a clear coat. I also finally got Essie Fiji and 2 Wet n Wild Palettes: Comfort Zone and Petal Pusher. They didn't have Carbonite but they still had plenty of Black With Envy (Chanel Black Pearl dupe), so if you're still looking for that check a Walgreens!
Finally I stopped at CVS and there was Carbonite! Score!

NOTD China Glaze Cracked Concrete


Cracked Concrete over OPI Manicurist of Seville and Houston We Have a Purple. I'm still very unsure of crackle polishes, they don't seem "me". That and they make me want to layer on more and more layers of top coat. I can't stand how bumpy they feel!
