Beauty Files #003 | Chanel “Jade” Enamel – Are We Buying It?

Ok, on my vacation I must say that I took some time to pamper myself. I’ve got to be honest, spending hours on the internet – along with working meticulously with the keyboard, automatically gives way to some rancid looking nails (in my case). Between nail biting, hang nails, and everything that takes a toll on my fingers…..I’ve taken the intuitive on getting my nails UV gelled up. And let me say…I am finally happy. Shoot, I feel half way feminine! Then came my spur of the moment jolt of wanting to get my “end of the summer” pedicure (yesterday), I found myself at my local nail salon snubbing the various colors that sat neatly adored on the shelf. Wondering….’where have all of the colors gone?” – you ladies know what I mean. It’s either too light of a color, too dark, no in between. Granted….if you have a darker skin tone, your always wondering if you can get away with certain nail enamels. Everything that we see on the runways or in magazines isn’t meant to be worn by everyone. And yes…that is definitely a known fact! And this summer everyone was going crazy over the buzz surrounding Chanel’s Jade nail enamel….which is indeed interesting to the eye. According to a few sources- one of my favorites, All Lacquered Up, Chanel’s Fall nail collection “Jade” series features two soft hues of “jade green” & “jade rose” which was supposed to be offered later this fall. But NYC folks have the advantage tonight of popping the lids via Chanel boutiques in celebration of Fashion Night Out. Starting September 11th Chanel’s Jade Nail Collection will be sold for a limited time exclusively via Chanel.com & Chanel Make-Up Studios for $25 each. I definitely love how the pictures invoke a genuine jade colorway….but I am kind of curious as to know how it looks up close and personal. Only time will tell…..will you be the first on the scene rocking Chanel’s latest nail hues?

I really like this color and I think that MAC also has something similiar. But it really looks more like a spring color than fall.
tee glad to have you back!!! i thought that you had given up on us teeeheee anyway i really dont know what to think about this jade nonsense. everyone has been talking about it yet i dont feel that supernatural gravitational pull towards this shade. did we do a reverse on colorways for the fall? like dark colors for fall and lighter colors for the spring? this is all just becoming too much for me.
I love and hate this color all at the same time!!! Do you have pictures of the rose one?????
TEE I AM AT CHANEL NOW FOR FASHIONS NIGHT OUT AND IT PACKED AS ALL HELL!!!IM USING MY IPHONE TO LEAVE THIS COMMENT IN ALL HONESTY DONT GET THIS COLOR ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!
I have this and its the same color as the Arizona ice tea can.I like it but it doesn’t rock my world like deeper shades.
I LOVE the new Jade nail polish trend, but start with where the trend began, the gemstone! Foxy Findings has a variety of styles to choose from at a great price to showcase this color trend for the season! http://www.foxyfindings.com.
Be Foxy,
Danielle
