For those of you who were just as obsessed with Chanel Jade as I was couple of years ago, good news—it looks like soft green shades are regaining traction. Wondering why mint is quickly becoming the go-to hue out of all of this season’s wildly popular pretty pastel polishes?
Yargh! I don’t think I can narrow it down to just one… It’s probably a tossup between my lucky bottle of Chanel Jade Nail Polish and the pieces I’ve held on to from the Barbie Loves MAC release back in 2007, the subjects of my very first post on Makeup and Beauty Blog. OH! And [...]

Oh, Chanel Jade, how you tempt me… In Sunday’s Open Thread Beth asked a logical follow-up question to Have you ever finished a bottle of perfume? (two thirds of us have). She wonders… Has anyone ever finished a bottle of nail polish? I love nail polish and buy it all the time. But I never [...]
It seems ever since Chanel surprised us with jade and grey nails last year, an awareness of varnish trends has been at an all-time high, and it's coming straight from the runway.

Trendy nail polish colors are fun. I've been playing with the darkest purple, taupe and gray, not to mention Chanel Jade, but in the end there's nothing like a sexy deep red.
