Pick of the Day - Lancôme Piha Black Nail Polish.

Well, I do not like black lip gloss, but black nail polish is another thing. I like the shade of black on my finger and toe nails when it is the right glistening, sparkly shade - and this new Le Vernis in Piha Black is just one of those.

Lancôme Le Vernis are also very technically advanced polishes, made with special plasticized polymers to make polish last a good seven days.

"Shiny and Shock Free
Shield Plasticizers keep nails flexible, shiny and more resistant to shock and abrasion. Chip-free for days!

Strong and Healthy
Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring substance known for its diverse health benefits, including support for healthy nails. It is known to boost the production of keratin, a tough protein from which finger and toe nails are made. MSM paired with Shield Plasticizers make nails much stronger and more flexible."

CHANEL Moscow Nail Colour Collection.

An homage to the beauty of Russian women, CHANEL is launching the Moscow Collection. The colors are all rich, deep, and of course - CHANEL beautiful!

First seen at the CHANEL Paris-Moscow show at the Ranelagh Theatre in Paris on December 3rd, this limited edition collection of nail lacquers was conceived of by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director for CHANEL Makeup.

“The Or de Russie nail colour we used on the models at the show comes from the new CHANEL Moscow When you apply the shades, which are rather dark, the surprising element is that they capture light so well that they create a fireworks effect – the shades dazzle with an unbelievable sparkle.” Collection, composed of three shades that I specially created for the show,” states Peter Philips. “The base of these three shades is black, to which we added a different sparkle for each of the colours: red, gold and blue. The Feu de Russie shade is intense and reflects passion. Or de Russie has a slight gold patina and evokes richness, while Nuit de Russie blue is full of mystery.

The collection will launch for a limited time in late December 2008 exclusively at CHANEL boutiques, CHANEL Makeup Studios and on CHANEL.com. $30 each.
