Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, has pulled together a surprising palette with this fall’s Jade Nail Collection. It’s comprised of two limited edition nail enamels – “Jade” and “Jade Rose” – that debuted during the Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 runway show. These mineral-inspired shades recall the jade jewelry and the pink knit and pistachio tweed of the collection.
“For the nails, Karl (Lagerfeld, Chanel’s designer) wanted a green shade to evoke the jade notes of the collection. I worked with our laboratories to offer him a monochromatic palette of 10 green shades. We chose the color that most resembled the green tweed skirt suit from the collection,” explains Peter Philips.
The CHANEL Jade Nail Collection will make a retail debut on September 10th at the CHANEL Soho Boutique in New York City in celebration of Vogue’s Fashion Night Out. And starting the 11th of September, it will be sold for limited time exclusively at www.chanel.com, CHANEL Makeup Studios and CHANEL boutiques for $25.00.
What do you think? Will you be snagging either of these limited edition hues?
