Chanel has released three nail polish shades in their new Summer Collection, L’Ete Papillon de Chanel. Azure instantly captivated my attention in promo images and I ultimately stalked its online release. Chanel must have a hand at magic in creating their polishes, Azure is exquisite and transformative.
Azure is the shade compared to the sky on a clear summer’s day…
Azure is a complex shade with many dimensions. It is a metallic duo-chrome shade that transitions from a royal blue to an aqua green. In sunlight and bright artificial light, Azure’s micro-shimmering particles sparkle with great intensity. No matter what the light Azure is incredibly vibrant and will demand a lot of attention.

Azure cover’s in one coat, although I would recommend two for extra vibrancy. The formula is a dream to apply and perhaps for its metallic properties, it lasts a bit longer than traditional Chanel Polishes.

Chanel Azure is a must for your collection and a true standout this summer!
This Limited Edition shade is $27 (chanel.com)
Thank you so much for the gorgeous swatch pictures! It’s everything that I hoped for, love the slight interesting duo chrome effect and the colour is just right on!
Oh you are so welcome Teri! It’s such a beauty I had to get it out there ASAP 🙂
Ahhh this is definitely the one out of the three that I like the most ❤ MUST HAVE (along with Taboo which is also coming out here in May)!
Me too! I went bananas as soon as it was released online, in my house in 3 days! Haha. Taboo looks gorgeous, but as I am seeing in swatches, the shade in the bottle isn’t translating as well to the nails. Stunning shade nonetheless.
This color is GORGEOUS! It reminds me of mermaids 🙂
That might be the exact reason why it called to me. I have a little obsession with mermaids 🙂
what a lovely tint for Summer!!reminds me of my favorite crayon – Cerulean ❤
Haha, I loved them all! I think I had a thing for do cornflower blue ❤
Haha yep everyone has a favorite crayon! I miss coloring.. *sigh* lol ❤
WOW! That is gorgeous!
I agree 🙂 thank you Melissa xo
They really outdid themselves with this collection. I LOVE this shade, it’s so complex and beautiful. Plus, one coat formulas are my favorite thing ever haha, minimal chance of denting that way 🙂
I agree, Bel Argus looks like another beauty. The mascaras look so beautiful also.. 🙂
Lovely! This is an interesting shade, and it’s stunning!
Looks great!
The swatches look AMAZING! It’s such a bold colour yet not over the top 🙂
WOW!!!!!!!
Ooooooh. Metallics usually aren’t my favorite, but this and the blue have caught my eye. I am so tempted! You make it even more tempting!
makes me want to go to the beach 🙂
This colour :O I love such colours but I am afraid it might clash with my skintone 😦 I have to check it out *nom nom*
This color is so ridiculously fantastic!! I have Essie Trophy Wife, but this looks brighter and even more nuanced. Oh boy. I love it!!
Mesmerized by this color!
What a gorgeous swatches picture, Taylor! this Limited Edition shade is a must have 🙂
Thank you ❤
I very much agree, I really can't stop glancing at my fingers and toes 🙂
Thank you! I agree, it’s so mesmerizing!
SO amazing! Your pics really show how lovely this is!
Aww thanks. It truley is a stunner! I’m that girl tripping over her feet starring at her fingernails 🙂
I just did my mani in this, and I’m actually surprized at how much I like it. I know, I just bought it, right? – you’d think I’d buy it because I love it! – but I bought it because I wanted to give metallic teal another shot, as it’s typically not my thing. But of course, who else but Chanel to make it totally awesome 😀 It looks especially amazing on you Taylor!
Argh this is SO GORGEOUS! I must have.
