The Look for Less: Chanel Nail Color in Particuliere


The Look for Less: Chanel Nail Color in Particuliere

Chanel has three new coveted nail colors out for spring 2010, including Chanel Particuliere Le Vernis Nail Colour, a color that can be described at "mushroom," "taupe" or "putty." This affordable luxury (oxymoron intended) can be yours for $23 a bottle at uma.chanel.com.


The Look for Less: Chanel Nail Color in Particuliere

If you want to try this color for less, People StyleWatch offers a great dupe in the February 2010 issue: It's the Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish in Commander in Chic by Sally Hansen, $7.99 at Ulta.com (or look for it in drugstores). Maybe I'm just smitten by this color because Chanel says it's chic, but I definitely can't wait to get my hands on a creamy putty polish for Spring! If anyone has any suggestions for a similar color, I'm all ears.

Good news if you've wanted this look for less: Target.com has restocked the Mossimo Supply Co. Katherine Leather Engineer Boots in both Dark Tan and Black. I love my pair! A word on sizing: Usually I'm a 9 with Target shoes, but I definitely needed a 9 1/2 with these boots. They are not very wide and require some breaking in, but since they're real leather, this isn't a huge problem.
