A medium flesh/ nude colour with a very subtle violet in it, with very fine glitters, but not overwhelming. It's such a beautiful colour that does not draw too much attention, and gives a very neat, well polished impression.

Normally, I don't like polishes with glitter particles because they're really hard to remove. But Chanel glitter is usually pretty classy, and they are so tiny that they don't really bother me, AND they are actually easy to remove with my normal polish remover.

The colour itself is very natural. It goes with anything, it's especially good to wear every day because the colour is not flashy or bright, and not attention seeking.

Not sure if I'd buy it again, because I rarely buy polish again and Chanel is pretty expensive. I think I would look for natural / nude colours somewhere else too just because I like trying other things. Another reason is that the bottle is going to last a fairly long time, so who knows what colour I'd want to try when I'm done with it!

Love the colour but on the whole Chanel polishes are rubbish and chip the same day. They are terrible quality especially for the price. However I love the colour as I find that looking for a good 'nude' polish is really hard as they are all too pink or orange on the nail

A very nive polish - professional looking beige nails (except for the sparkle that bugs me and tends to remain on the nails even after the nail polished is removed). Decent staying power as well. It didn't dries very fast in the bottle either, so that's a big plus. I'll buy again (preferably if they lose the shiny particles).

I love the color. It's a very nice nude color with silver shimmer. However, the brush is horrid. I find the same problem with most of chanel nail polishes. Why can't they build a better polish brush when they're charging almost $30 (cdn) for a bottle of nail polish? They make even application almost impossible..... Other than that, the polish itself doesn't chip too bad and the color is wonderful. I wouldn't repurchase though...

I really like this polish... yes Chanel is not the cheapest nail polish around but I haven't really been able to find a shade similar to this that easily. A very light and opaque beige with a very faint shimmer that doesn't show up orange or too pink on me. Very classy and work appropriate. However, I took a lippie off as the wear isn't as good as OPI on me.

Very nice everyday beige. It has subtle silver sparkles in it, easy to see in the bottle but not as noticeable when it dries. Reminiscent of Chanel Delice, but more creamy and not sheer.

I'd definitely buy it again.

Nailtype: brittle, thin, soft.

Long lasting and easy to apply as most of chanels nail polishes. But this one has a slightly odd color - it changes according to the light; sometimes more beige, sometimes peachy and sometimes slightly coral-ish red - and it contains chunky glitter.
It works great on my toe nails.

Wonderful nude color!! Makes me feel very chic in a late 60's/ early 70's sort of way. I do 2 coats of the Sahara Beige with one coat of Precious on top (the Precious lightens the color a little and makes it blend in with my skin tone nicely). I use this on my fingers and toes as a classy alternative when I get sick of french manicures.

I love this! Sahara Beige is a pretty soft nude-beige with a light sprinkle of rainbow micro-glitter. Very similar to OPI's Skinny DippinĄŻ'in Lake Michigan, I find Chanel's version to be more nude than peach thus eliminating the not-as-flattering orange undertones many may have experienced with OPI. I think I might have to get a back up bottle of this shade!

This polish is a pale peach creme with clear irridescent nanoglitter. It's a lovely opaque nude polish, but for the price, it is very similar to OPI Skinny Dippin' In Lake Michigan. It's elegant and neutral, but I wish it had more shimmer.
