Mani of the Week: Chanel Gondola

Whilst at home at the weekend, I decided to raid my sister's nail polish collection and decided upon this: Chanel's Gondola. I love the rich pinky red hue and the added glamour of the tiny flecks of glitter in the polish.

What do you think of the colour? Do you have a favourite nail polish or do you like to mix it up?

Mani of the Week: Chanel Black Pearl

Style.com

Another season and another new limited edition Chanel nail polish. For SS11 the colour is: Black Pearl. As seen above on the catwalk last October in Paris.

Super Stylish Sis and I are quite the Chanel nail polish addicts: everytime there is a new polish out, I am dispatched to my nearest Boots or John Lewis to pick up a couple of bottles! Well, last Friday was no different.




Like many of Chanel's polishes - and something which seems to make them impossible to copy completely -Black Pearl seems to almost change colour in different lights. By turns it is a green-black and by others a steely blue-grey-black.

What do you think of my new favourite nail colour?

ALL UK RESIDENTS: REMEMBER TO ENTER TO WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO LONDON FASHION WEEKEND!

Mani of the Week: Boots No7 Siren

I have been coveting the Chanel nail polish in Dragon that Pink Bow wears and so when in Paris in October I thought it would make the perfect souvenir but alas, they were all sold out:

On my return I decided to treat myself to a nail colour from Boots No7 with my £5 voucher and so set upon this colour - Siren - which is very nearly the same shade of red.

What do you think? Can I pass it off as Chanel?

Model of the Moment: Lindsay Wixen

The model on everybody's lips at the moment is 16-year-old Southern Belle Lindsay Wixen. This Kansas girl has already graced the covers of Italian Vogue, Teen Vogue, i-D, Pop Magazine and Love Magazine to name but a few, and has walked for such fashion heavyweights as Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton and YSL, making Wixen a face to watch!

Chanel: not so vague now eh?

Chanel's new autumn make-up range launched today and I was first in line to get my hands on their new limited edition nail polishes. I had originally planned to just buy the Jade Rose and get the Paradoxal for stylish sis but after seeing the latter on the girl at the Chanel counter, I just had to get it too.


Watch out for both of these shades appearing in a Mani of the Week post soon.

Every girl needs her little piece of luxury

For me, my little piece of luxury is a Chanel nail polish.

These are my two new Chanel nail polishes. Nouvelle Vague - the limited edition spring/summer 2010 shade is a beautiful pearly pale blue colour. Particulière - last autumn's catwalk shade which is a delicious caffé latte colour.

♥ For anyone who is interested I am currently lusting after Chanel's Dragon shade - a lovely deep red colour. Mmmm. ♥

What is your little piece of luxury?

Update: just painted my nails with Particulière. Two coats were necessary but it looks great and will go with almost any outfit/colour combo.

Current Crush: Breton T-Shirt

The Breton T-Shirt, brought to us by Coco Chanel, is the key piece in this seasons wardrobe, and every woman should own one; I for one have been wearing mine to death. It works well with cropped jeans, this seasons short shorts, fitted blazers, denim jackets...the list is endless. It is also a favourite of the fashion crowd who want to achieve the casual chic look that the Parisians do so well.
