Chanel will have you feeling mighty blue this Summer...

It seems like every time a Chanel show hits the runway, the buzz about the nail colour sported by the models is almost as great as that surrounding the clothes! Poor Karl might have to start reigning in Chanel Creative Director of Make Up, Peter Philips, before things get out of control! In the meantime, we’ve got their latest as-yet-unnamed shade to salivate over. At Chanel’s recent Cruise collection outing in Saint-Tropez, the always-gorgeous girl of the moment Natasha Poly began the show barefoot and sporting a sure-to-be-a-mega hit duck egg blue polish on her toes which sent a wave of excitement through the beauty industry all over the globe. This is destined to be THE shade for Summer, and I’m guessing that many a pretender to the throne will launch a similar version. The Chanel shade won’t hit the counters for some time now, but in the meantime I’ll be making do with an equally gorgeous turquoise number by the French beauty house, cleverly called Nouvelle Vague. Hitting local counters very soon as part of the pop-tastic Summer 2010 make-up line, it has been described as a mix between the Saint-Tropez blue and “Jade’s pistachio pigment, with a hint of silver sparkle thrown into the manicure mix”. Very gorgeous and very wearable, I am in love with this super fresh shade. Get one ASAP.
