Chanel Les Khakis de Chanel Nail Collection

I finally got around to doing some swatches today. Sadly yesterday I was told by my vet that my dog is not going to get better so we have to put him to sleep on Monday morning. I am devastated to say the least. Anyway enough of my sadsack stories...!

The much anticipated Les Khakis de Chanel collection was released on the 10th September for Fashion's Night Out and I went and snapped up one of each of the colours straight away! I couldn't believe it, but Khaki Vert sold out while I was at the counter! A woman came in and bought 5 of each colour! I'm glad I didn't wait to buy these babies.

With that said, as I anticipated, I'm not sure these colours actually suit my skin tone. However, they are some of the best quality Chanel polishes I have ever used. The colour is extremely opaque for all three and they could all easily be 1 coaters, but I did 2 just in case. I will advise as to dry time and wear once I've had them on for a few days...

Les Khakis de Chanel Preview

In celebration of Fashion's Night Out, Chanel will be releasing Les Khakis de Chanel collection which features three shades of "khaki" - Khaki Vert, Khaki Brun and Khaki Rose.

I'm going to go completely against the grain here and say that I'm not sure about these colours. I feel like Khaki Brun is just Particuliere repackaged and Khaki Rose is just bleh! Other nail bloggers seem to be dropping their bundles over Khaki Vert which is a slimey green looking colour - one of those "ugly/pretty" shades...

I'm going to have to see swatches of all these colours before I shell out $39AUD each for them!

I don't see these shades being as big a hit as Jade from last year's show, but knowing my luck I'll be completely wrong about that and regret not buying them! 

If you do see a colour you like I suggest you go out and buy it straight away! I searched for Chanel Jade on eBay last night and found a listing for over $800AUD! The cheapest I could find was $250AUD! So, as I said, if you like one of the colours snap it up because if it sells out, you could find yourself forking out a crapload of money for the polish on evilbay!
