Chanel Paradoxal vs Models Own Purple Grey

Chanel launch their new, highly anticipated shade Paradoxal today. Dubbed the ‘must-have’ shade for Autumn/Winter, you may have noticed the likeness between Paradoxal and Models Own Purple Grey.

Recently our ‘Most Wanted’ shade, Purple Grey is proving so popular that there is only limited stock left!

A snip of the hefty £16.50 price tag Chanel have put on Paradoxal, Purple Grey is only £5 (leaving you change to buy more nail polish of course!) So grab yours now while stocks last.

We will soon be opening a waiting list for those of you who are unable to get your hands on a bottle!
