Cheers to the inauguration of my obsession. Chanel vernis. I recently read an article that in times of financial crisis, more women turn to makeup, especially nail polish as their fashion statement. There is nothing more attractive that neatly groomed, beautifully polished nails. They don't have to be over the top, but just your classic well manicured lacquerized digits. I'm even more impressed with a man that has well groomed cuticles. So from a reformed nail biter to you, I'm going to dedicate this blog to beautiful tips everywhere, fake or otherwise.
Chanel Melrose, a part of the Chanel Robertson Boulevard Collection released in 2008. A bright Barbie pink to brighten anyone's summer day (although I'll have to admit that I'm not particular to season appropriate colors). The formula is a little bit on the thick side, but still require 3 coats for opaque coverage due to some streakiness. This may have been due to operator error in trying to use thin coats. A fellow NP lover reported that the best way to apply Chanel nail polish is to do a thin coat, which is inevitably streaky, and then follow that with a thickish coat. The few times that I've remembered this tip, I've been quite happy with the results. How do you apply your nail polish?
