Leave it to the make-up geniuses at Chanel to create yet another nail polish frenzy. Much like their “Noir” that was sold out everywhere in Fall 2006, they have followed up with “Blue Satin” a shade that is currently in such high demand it may take a bid on Ebay to score a bottle.
I wrote about seeing blue polish on the trend horizon last spring… now it’s the hot color du jour. I asked Kate about this trend and she said, “As we ushered in the new year many hues of blue from sky to navy were already appearing in home and fashion stores everywhere and buyers are scooping up items in this universally appealing color. Blue is also a popular color this year among car buyers, global color authority Pantone named blue their color of 2008 and Yves Klein blue is making a come back internationally. Is it any wonder that the blue nail color trend you saw beginning last Spring has found such a following? “
Chanel’s polish sold out at your favorite store? No worries- OPI’s “Russian Navy” from their fall collection is equally beautiful (my pilates guru was wearing it last week- super pretty!) and ” Yoga-ta Get This Blue” from their Spring “India” are equally dramatic.
Will your tips and toes be “blue” heading into Spring 2008?
Have you tried the Chanel yet? Wondering if it’s flattering. I love fun colors for nail polish
I tried the Chanel at the makeup counter at Macy’s last night. very nice!!!
I tried the Chanel polish the other day…great color , but you can find the same color from any other brand (cheaper). And I say this as a girl who wears Chanel mascara, blush, eyeliner, and lip gloss. The polish looked great with a stripe of YSL new nail pens that are for French manicures.
