I stumbled across this color while traveling on one of my many "dusty" road trips! At the time I found this polish it was old and separated and I had to shake it into submission but, boy oh boy, when I did it was a beautiful-ugly thing in the bottle that just had to come home with me. I introduce to you Fortune by Dare toWear (a LeChat brand): 
I did not know what Chanel Paradoxal looked like in person so I went home and started on my first frankening/layering experiment = FAIL!!! So, I just broke down and purchased the REAL THING, my very first Chanel nail polish - ooooooh! Got it home and it was just about the same, if not the exact, look and feel of my beloved and beautiful-ugly Fortune (comp pics below):
Paradoxal is on my ring finger and Fortune is on the pinky. Can you tell the difference? At first glance, no, but at second glance, yes, Fortune is a bit darker. Listen, this is the closest dupe I've seen yet!
Chanel has a purplish-pink shimmer and D2W has a bluish-purple shimmer but it's so close no one but a nailboarder at the right angle in the light of the sun on a clear day could tell the difference! And for about 1/10th of the price of the Chanel it's well worth it.
I've worn both and have gotten more compliments on the D2W, go figure! So, no need to back-up my Chanel Paradoxal because I have my beautiful-ugly Fortune waiting in the wings to take it's place.
These can be found in obscure little beauty supplies scattered through out California, however, they do have a website (http://www.lechatnails.com/dw247.htm) and who knows, if you're interested, you may be able to find it there. But I really ♥ owning a Chanel and for the price of gas searching for a dupe or shipping charges to order this online you might as well pick up - THE REAL THING ;)! And as always, I hope this post has found you "well-polished".
