After a day of non-stop errands, I’ve decided to end the day at my local drug store just to scan through the various nail enamel’s that captured my attention. However, it’s all about keeping things modern & basic this spring. I’ve seen an abundance of taupe-clad nail enamels making a notable appearance throughout the retail scene. As you already know it is fashions uniform code to add neutral hues onto our spring list of must-haves & must-do’s. But it seems as everyone has gone gaga during the past two months over Chanel’s Particuliere nail enamel (price: $23). I know for a fact that my sense of style works in reverse of what the “up to the minute” trend forecasters have to say. My run-ins with creamy brown taupe nail colors are often used during the winter months. I spend the majority of the winter in socks (for one) & (two) who really pays much attention to their feet (other than yourself) during the winter season? For me, it’s kind of like a last moment solution during the winter, other than using black nail polish. Celebrities such as; Mary J Blige, Mena Suvari , Sandra Bullock, Lily Allen, Gwyneth Paltrow, & Kate Beckinsale who have already been spotted wearing this popular Chanel shade. This season nail enamel directs itself towards the milky brown hues, matched against perfectly short, and yet rounded –squared off manicured nails. And if you’re still not too keen on the idea of spending $23 on Chanel’s Particuliere nail enamel – no worries, there are a series of options available! OPI’s Over The Taupe (#NLB85) & You Don’t Know Jacques (#NLF15) nail lacquer has been receiving tons of positive review based on performance & price. Or you always go with my Essie’s (my personal favorite) Mink Muffs (#697). If you’re still not convinced, check out some of my other “Putty” nail enamel options after the jump!
