Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colours (Nouvelle Vague, Particuliere)

16th August, 2010

I got an email a few days entitled “CHANEL Nails – the have-to-have hues‏” from Chanel (subscribe to get their emails on their site) and I noticed that Nouvelle Vague was listed. This nail polish was not there before because I checked and I remember wanting it because Michele1218 from Youtube (my favorite YT Guru) said that it is not available from Chanel anymore. It’s a sky blue color, but not quite – hard to explain. Michele said, in one of videos, that some try to say that this color is dupable and matches China Glaze’s For Audrey (which I have because she has it ha!), but it doesn’t. It’s similar and problably close in color to Sephora by OPI Havana Nights (which I have as well).

Anyway, Nouvelle Vague is available on Chanel.com again and not in stores because I always look for it. I don’t know if it’s a limited edition color because I do not follow Chanel like that. I am informed about Chanel products from other beauty blogger or Youtube gurus who live for them.

I wanted to post to say that I purchased both Nouvelle Vague and Particuliere. Particuliere is a permanent nail polish that I have been wanting for a long time, but didn’t want to order it online because I didn’t know how it looked exactly. I saw it at a Chanel counter recently, loved it and found that they were all sold out. It’s a nude, brownish color which is great to wear anytime. And they were also sold out at another counter I was at recently as well…not sure why. When I get them in I will swatch them on my nails because I cannot wait to wear them.
