Out of the three Le Vernis for Chanel Harmonie de Printemps Spring 2012 Collection, I only picked up April, as May & June were too washed-out pastel for my skintone. In fact I think I wouldn't have purchased April at all if my birthday wasn't in April.
Here is a picture of April compared to a proper red. April is a cream muted garnet without any shimmer. The texture of this particular polish is very nice - much smoother and easier to apply than my other Chanel polishes. Overall I feel April is nice but not quite a spring colour for me - I think it looks more like a September.

High five for Chanel Le Vernis April! My dear bf's birthday is in April, but I didn't get it due to this reason, but because I'm really loving the colour! :)
Btw, have I ever told you how much I adore your logo and watermark? Wished I had something as nice too! :/

I agree that it's not quite a springy colour but it's still pretty :-)

Jess - Awww thank you, you're too kind! It was a very quick photoshop job.
Lyn - Yes I like it but still not for a spring collection...
Fi - Why did you pick June and not the others?
