    Reason for removing one lippie: The color looks amazing in the bottle, but I can't seem to get the purple shimmer on my nails, but I had to have it! Chanel, you are the Master at being subtle with...

    I am in love with this color....Chanel's wand is super easy to use also, as it is small and precise. The cons with this are the ridiculous price, the sheer color (I have to use three coats), the...

    Simply beautiful. It's a grey-ish purple with some nice purple shimmer which looks perfect in direct sunlight. I know that this polish is expensive, but it's worth every penny. Formula is nice -...

    Color looks beautiful in the bottle. Goes on sloppy and uneven, takes forever to dry, and chips easily. For $22, I would expect an even coat the first time and a long wearing, high gloss. The...

    Yes, without a doubt this product is expensive. However, we must consider the brand. Chanel is the leader in all that is feminine luxury. This polish is VERY worth the price, in my opinion. It's...

    Wow, I was so looking forward to trying this colour. Finally received it in a swap, and I was really disappointed. It came out looking completely flat on my nails - not purple at all, kinda...

    I remember reading several negative comments about this polish before I actually got around to wearing it but now that I put it on, I'm pleasantly surprised. It reminds me of Metrochic but...

    Very unique color, darker than what I expected, but I've grown to love it. The application is a dream, and it lasts give or take a week (I always use the chanel basecoat underneath and seche vite...

    This is a very interesting color - depending on the light, it can be dark gray, or a medium purple (sometimes with a lot of mauve coming through.) I love the way this looks on me in direct...

    Very muted edgy for the office or on a first date, maybe a classy daytime function, but not my favourite. It is a muted, purple grey, it is dark but not black, darker than Particuliere, very...

    I got this in a swap brand new. I wanted this for so long. Chanel polishes are usually really good. This color falls pretty flat on the nails. You can't see the microshimmer very well. My biggest...

    Perfect autumn/winter color! I love the murky purple, it's edgy yet SFW. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 lippies is because it chips very easily, which I think is ridiculous for a €21,50...

    Paradoxal is the very first Chanel polish that I've purchased. I knew I was a full-blown nail fanatic when I read all the hype on blogs and just knew that I had to have it! Well, it's defintely...

    Beautiful color, however, my nails started chipping within a few hours! Unacceptable for $23 nailpolish! I guess I have to stick to Essie colors which lasts much longer for me.

    I bought this anticipating it would have somewhat of a shimmer, and it really does not. It is like a deeper metro chic, which I happen to like better. It has almost a bit of a muddy look, and the...

    Chanel always leads the market with at least one "must have" color a season. Paradoxal is a beautiful purplish/grey color. Application is flawless. The brush is fantastic and the formula is great....
