Kirstie brought us news last week of heart-shaped hair and bee-yootiful coral lippie at Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week show. And while I was looking over the haute couture photees and deciding how I felt about the futuristic frou-frou, with the sorbet of frills and ice-cream colours shot through with edgier silver accents, I wondered how long it would take me to do the Minnie Mouse hair. And, eh, how quickly it would fall right back down again. Then my eyes were drawn to the model’s hands. After a bit of squinting and adjusting my monitor and tilting my laptop screen, I decided that yep, their nails were definitely silver.
At first squint, they actually looked foiled and possibly Minxed. However, since nail varnish can look very different when photographed and Chanel aren’t in the habit of using someone elses products, I decided to do a little investigation.
It looks like Peter Phillips, Global Director of Make-Up and the man responsible for Chanel’s hoo ha causing Particulière and Jade nail varnish shades, is either feeling retrospective or running out of ideas: according to insiders this is Chanel’s Platinum Silver, which was a limited edition release that came with a ridge-filling base coat as part of a duo set away back in 2007.
Maybe a reissue is on the cards?

I hope this gets re-issued, would be fab for a night out…
Here’s hoping it is re-released, and soon.
Ooooh, pretty! Yes, I remember this one from before – hopefully it will be re-released!
Absolutely love this – must have!
The finish on the nails is amazing…I’d say if I did it myself it would look uneven and crap. Lovely colour though!
yeah this looks great! i didn’t know you could get such a silver finish with just nail varnish!
Gimme that. Along with nail file and a gallon of base coat.
Hmmm, they also had a nail varnish called Kaleidoscope back in Autumn 2008, so who knows…
ooooohh, wowzer – I LUV this!! Really not my kinda thing but I WANT!! They make those nails look like candied almonds
Oh, I have a Holographic nail polish duo from 2007, and I love it to bits!! In fact, it was my first ever holographic nail polish, and it’s still the best
Orly have three new metallics coming out in March – gold, silver and rose. The silver looks amazing, really high polish look to it. I read about them on another blog (not affiliated – http://www.alllacqueredup.com).
I like the look of the silver but I am not sure how it would last? I have a silver holo (very like Chanel’s Kaleidoscope) but it chips within a day of applying (despite all the ‘good’ application techniques)
They’d be great for your pedi in the summer! Niiiice
