Last week, Chanel showcased its newest collection for the 2012 Paris Fashion Week, which is all about Couture. The collection was magical, with a new vintage theme, as a hommage to Coco Chanel. Although the collection mainly consisted of suits, there were a few outstanding other looks in the collection. The vintage tweed was replaced with hand-made embroidery on tulle: thousands of hours of work. I really like this collection, but I'm always all about the nails! What I spotted when I took a closer look at the collection was the nail art. This is the first time that Chanel has introduced an own kind of nail art!
For this Chanel style you first apply one layer of your wished colour, for the Chanel show Le Vernis Silver was used, which was sold as a limited edition in 2007 and isn't available anymore. As a second colour, May from the Spring 2012 collection was applied. When applying this coat you make sure not to cover your whole nail, leaving framings of the first coat. Now you have lined nails!
I really like this idea! To me it seems like a new twist to the French manicure!
