Chanel has repromoted Tendresse #507 Le Vernis in their Aquarelles de Chanel collection. Tendresse is a soft sheer pink that was originally released in Spring 2010 (see review and comparisons here). I had this put on last week and for some reason it turned out warmer and sheerer on my nails than I remembered. I haven’t worn this shade in quite some time, I thought perhaps mine had faded slightly, but when I saw new testers at the counter they seemed to be the same as mine is now. It matched my strawberry pink macaron perfectly.
Here it is with two coats. It’s a lovely feminine glossy natural sheer pink. Lasting power is fairly decent (lasted a full week with slight tip-wear). If I were to do this manicure over again, I would have asked for three coats.
I paired it last week with Morning Rose on the toes.
It’s an easily dupeable color, but I love that it applies smoothly without streaks and gives a subtle polished look. No complaints on my end. Most pale pinks tend to look extremely pale and almost cream colored on my fingers. Tendresse is perfect for me.
I thought that your first photo of Tendresse looked quite similar to strawberry ice-cream. It's certainly a more proletariat dessert when compared to your macaroon though =P. Can you believe I've never had a macaroon before? One of these days I'll have to search one out.
Loving the macaron comparison. Too cute.
Tendress is, unfortunately, on of those colors that looks so much prettier in the bottle than on my hands. I see pink, but when applied, all I get is a super sheer beige with a hint of pink that brings out the red in my skin tone. I hardly ever wear Tendresse any more.
I am not ready to let go of summer just yet, but fall nail colors are the ones I live for–give me plums, berries, reds, and that thing Dior does to greys and navies ANY day over pale pink!
the macaroon looks so yum
Oh my goodness, I love that you've paired Tendresse with a macaron! Such beautiful shades of pink in tandem. These subtle yet striking touches to your blog really set it apart from the rest, Sabrina.
so precious love how it perfectly matches the macaron =D
That's such a cuuuuute color!! Love the strawberry macaron too…. so want one!
