Like most episodes of Seinfeld, "The Maid" has some fantastic New York moments. It's the episode where Elaine gets a new phone number with a 646 area code (a big change from the traditional 212) and Kramer has a "long distance" relationship with a woman who lives downtown... in visiting her, Kramer finds himself lost on 1st and 1st, aka the "nexus of the universe". 1st and 1st is also somewhat of a paradox... or... a Paradoxal, if you will!
Local businesses located at 1st and 1st have great names
If I'm asked my favorite polish, Chanel Paradoxal is usually the one I'll name (but we all know it's OK to have a few favorites!) This purple-grey shade applies like a dream and is long wearing - last year, I wore Paradoxal for a whole week on vacation and experienced a very small amount of wear. I love the pinky-purple shimmer that lights up in the sunlight, and how inside, this polish looks smoky and mysterious.
Seinfeld + beautiful Chanel polish! You've just made my day. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou made me realize that it's been a while since I wore my Paradoxal.... it looks AMAZING on you! Love the Seinfeld tie-in (I'm such a Seinfeld freak; I probably know all the episodes by heart...lol!!) Thanks, Amy!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful polish. I love shades like this.
ReplyDeleteFun fact: Did you know that there is a super man reference in every episode of Seinfeld? :)
it's my fav too, well at least among my top 5.
ReplyDeleteOoooo I've not seen that one but it's LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteErythropolish, haha I'm so glad!
ReplyDeleteEat Sleep Polish, sometimes I leave it out just to look at it hehe
Eugenia, I simply couldn't wait until the fall! Glad you got the reference lol
Veronica, no I didn't! That's awesome, I have season 9 on DVD and will have to look for them!
hermetic, good call :)
Nail Nerd, there are several "dupes" out there you may want to look out for if you can't find the Chanel
Great post! Paradoxal was one of the first few Chanels I ever bought.
ReplyDeleteLove Seinfeld; even after all these years it's still one of my favorite shows. I'm not really a big Chanel fan since they're $18, but this one is nice looking. Also, I nominated you for a best blog award!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, yah it's a GREAT polish, it's one of my only few Chanels
ReplyDeleteAmanda, thanks so much for thinking of me! This polish is worth it!
I just bought Paradoxal! I got Graphite on a whim last week and then went nuts at Nordstrom.com and got Peridot and Paradoxal as well! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG Carly how fun!!! Paradoxal is the perfect fall shade.
