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.
