The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, created the Jade Nail Collection with two limited edition nail enamels in sure-to-be-coveted colors “Jade” and “Jade Rose” for the Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 runway show. These mineral-inspired shades transform the nails into genuine gems and recall the jade jewelry and the pink knit and pistachio tweed of the fashion collection.
“For the nails, Karl wanted a green shade to evoke the jade notes of the collection. I worked with our laboratories to offer him a monochromatic palette of 10 green shades. (I think I just heard Melanie Parker gasp!)
We chose the color that most resembled the green tweed skirt suit from the collection,” explains Peter Philips.
The CHANEL Jade Nail Collection debuts on September 10th at the CHANEL Soho Boutique in New York City in celebration of Vogue’s Fashion Night Out.
Starting the 11th of September, The Jade Nail Collection will be sold for limited time exclusively at www.chanel.com, CHANEL Makeup Studios and CHANEL boutiques for $25.00.

Hi A! I showed a comparison pic of Jade with MAC PP and they're close but Jade is more green with a hint of shimmer and MUCH better application.
I'd love to see those other 9 green hues released at some point, but I am so happy that this Jade has shimmer. I'm definitely getting it!
mine arrived in my mailbox yesterday.
it is absolutely amazing, it doesnt look like it in the pictures, but it has a slight shimmer to it.
it dries amazingly and wears even better.
Best $50 AUD i ever spent.
Had to be on a waiting list for 3 months to secure one of the only bottles in australia!
Cheers,
