Nail Polish

 

And the neon nails and pastel eye shadows we thought so chic last week suddenly seem passe, as we gasp over and grapple for the moody, muted shades that will waft in with the cool Autumn winds.
Chanel has released their Fall 2010 makeup collection, rife with chocolate grays, deep plums and smoldering khakis. Global creative director Peter Philips created a look that pairs soft smoky eyes with paler lips to pay tribute to Coco Chanel’s proclivity for the bold contrasts that first defined her iconic style.
Headlining the collection is Le Vernis Nail Colour in Paradoxal, a dark gray-violet that the company thinks will be “the new statement-maker of the season.” If recent history is any indication, they’re right — Chanel has been a leader in nail polish trend-making for the past few seasons, punctuated by their wildly-popular shade Jade, which we still can’t keep on our desk because coworkers borrow it with such frequency.
