White Nails on the Chanel 2009 HC Runway
Many moons ago, Chanel created a nail polish called Vamp. The legend is a makeup artist used a black magic marker to paint the model's nails black during a runway show. The press went nuts so they formulated a dark polish and the Vamp craze was born. You know the rest of the story.
A few days ago, Chanel sent models down the Couture runway with an intense white nail. This white is like snow on a bright sunny day. It was blinding.
Obviously this could be an upcoming polish trend for the future. This might be bottled and sold out before we even see it in person.
This might be the new millennium Vamp...born from a bottle of Liquid Paper from Office Max.
The makeup was also in shades of white. The skin was ultra pale with flushed cheeks and lips. The waterline was white and was surprisingly fresh and pretty. I loved the gamine winged black liner with the shimmery pale white shadow. I might try to experiment and play with white lids this weekend.
I wonder if I can recreate this with my Shiseido Hydro Powder in White Lights!
Let us know what you think of the look from the Chanel runway in the comments.

I think this is quite lovely! The eyes are definitely a wearable trend for us regular ladies, and will look smashing this spring, I think. Thanks for the pictures! :)
I forgot to ask - any suggestions for lining the waterline in white? I never have much luck with pencils on this part of my eye...Does liquid or gel liner work well on the waterline?
Also - I just bought the Shiseido Hydro Powder in White Lights that you mentioned! Hopefully we have some luck recreating this look! :)
I like the concept of a white nail, but not one this harsh white-out white. I think this a trend that needs to be softened before going into real life.
BUT-I love, love, love the makeup! Wow, that eye look is fantastic. I want to dupe it soon too.
I do not like the white nail polish AT ALL. I think it is too jarring. But I absolutely love the makeup. It's so clean and fresh...LOVE!

ADORE white nails! I've been wearing them for a couple of months in place of usual vampy shades. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I feel edgy but without the "trying too hard when I wear black polish" sensibility.
Couldn't be more appropriate timing. And HUGE raves for the eye makeup.

love the make up, especially the eyes. but i do not fancy the white nails, kinda creepy...
Funny, I just picked up a bottle of white nail polish yesterday without even knowing it was becoming the new trend. I have it on now, and I'm lovin' it! I bought a very WHITE white (A-Ha Moment by OPI @ Sephora).
It is a nice change from black.
Tomorrow I will try the white makeup.
