FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
It's still winter, but you can already get yourself a piece of Chanel's pre-fall '09 collection.
It’s said that the fashion world moves fast, but Chanel has literally outpaced itself with the release of their Russian Nights nail polish collection.
To wit: In early December, Karl Lagerfeld and Co. presented Chanel’s pre-fall collection, which looked like Byzantine empire-meets-Anastasia, only with bigger headdresses. Although the clothing won’t be arriving in stores for a while (we have to make it through spring and summer first), the nail polish just became available.
The limited edition set includes three jewel-toned colors, each more opulent than the last. They make us think that our obsession with gold polish won’t be ending anytime soon. But they’re also proof that the fashion world can’t keep up with itself. Imagine: You could own a piece of pre-fall ’09 before even packing away your fall ’08 items.
Now that’s fast fashion.

It might just be me but I feel like nail polish is making a huge comeback right now. Especially some of the colors that are in this season. Not to say that nobody ever wore it before, but many tend to play on the safer side of the color spectrum. I love the navy-black trend!
lovee

I love those! Especially 'Or de Russie'!!! But 30$? I know it's Chanel, (love them btw) but I wish designer collections weren't so expensive...
