The delish people at Chanel beauty labs seem to know the magic formula to creating mania raising nail polish.
Their waiting list causing Jade shade has barely dried on our nails and there is already a new kid on the block.
Meet Chanel’s Particuliere
Get to know her, because this darlings, is the colour we will all be cooing over before the summer starts. Particuliere for £16 is a peculiar grey,meets off beige colour. Think a mushroom meets taupe colour meets clayish meets your cup coffee sort of shade.
It all began when models wore the shade at Chanel’s spring/summer 2010 show. At the show, British singer Lily Allen was also spotted wearing the colour.
No sooner did the show snaps hit the internet and the Chanel nail polish shade was creating nail envy.
Rihanna, Lauren Conrad, Eva Mendes etc have all been seen sporting similar nail colour.
Get the look too with the below nail products.

OPI polish in Over The Taupe, £9.50.
Butter London in Fash Pack, £10.
I have my eye on the OPI polish. How fun is the shade name? I am sucker for a great nail lacquer name.
I think this color would make me look dead. I’m getting another Minx manicure on Sunday!
this shades are all amazing, I should purchase some nail polish like that!
A totally gorgeous shade which will be so popular this summer!
I met the WONDERFUL Sophy Nails:http://www.sophyrobson.com/blog/ at the Chanel press day, where she was on hand to give expert manicures. Particuliere was the choice of the day and it looked stunning. I haven’t been able to get hold of it but has bought the Butter alternative from ASOS and I can highly recommend it.
I quite like this colour, although I don’t know how it would look against my skin tone. I might try a mega cheap version first, I’m thinking Barry M.
don’t know if like or not… i think i’m going to try it
BUy Lilly allen loos so bad!! too long nails :S
XX!!
That is a really nice colour.
it’s such a beautiful color for nails!
Love that colour, thanks for sharing dupes!
I adore the color gray, esp. like Chanel’s color {would even consider acrylic nails just to show
off the nailpolish} question: don’t you have to be in the saloln business to purchase o.p.i?
when I read a ad. for this brand, it seems to say that in the fine print.
You are doing a phenominal job keeping us fashion/makeup fanatics on the cutting edge,
Marian. And there is always something to be learned.
