Pink Tonic (619) is one of the new, limited edition, summer nail colours released as part of Reflets D'été De Chanel Collection. It is a bright, medium to dark blue-toned pink. In the bottle, there are very subtle fuchsia shimmers, especially when viewed under sunlight, but they're not as apparent when applied on the nails. (Note, all photographs here were taken indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe).
The square cap comes off, which comes in handy for your finger to rest on as you apply nail polish. :)
The brush applicator is thin, which is great for precise application.
On My Nails...
As per the Chanel Summer 2014 campaign ad, I couldn't wait to have a go at replicating the colour on white layered look. It's quirky and a really fun way to wear bright summer shades. I'm obsessed with it, and most of all, it's really easy to do! >_< I first applied a couple of coats of Chanel's Eastern Light (a soft white shade that re-promoted this season - see review and swatches of it here) on the entire nail bed. I let this dry completely, then I applied just a single coat of 'Pink Tonic' (which was enough to give full coverage especially with the help of the white base) straight on top, leaving a gap of white peeking through around the edges except for the tip. I didn't do it below, but I highly recommend applying a top coat for extra longevity. For reference, I have medium, olive (~NC30) skin tone.
Comparison Swatches
I compared 'Pink Tonic' to Chanel's 'Rose Insolent', 'Rose Exuberant', and Tom Ford's 'Indian Pink'. Hopefully you can tell from the swatches below that 'Pink Tonic' is the most blue-toned. 'Rose Insolent' is the lightest and is more muted and rose-toned. 'Indian Pink' and 'Rose Exuberant' are more red toned and deeper with the latter being the darkest and the most red-toned. (Each shade was applied with just a single coat).
Overall
'Pink Tonic' is a 'nice-to-have' if you don't already own one like it (you will mostly likely do) and are a fan of Chanel. It applies easily and perfectly in two coats. :)
