The more I look at Jade and Jade Rose, the new limited edition nail polish colors from Chanel, the more I wonder why they were released now, with all the other Fall 2009 items. Yes, I know that they were inspired by the tweed fabrics and jewelery for fall/winter shown on the runway, but still- we're talking light rose and mint green, both with very delicate shimmer. They look quite springy, if you ask me.
Today I'm wearing Jade Rose, and it's a pretty, happy color. When staying indoors, the shimmer is all but invisible and the shade looks a lot warmer than in full daylight. It has an almost peach undertone, especially when you put on three coats (quite necessary, as the polish is sheer). As noted by Melanie Parker on Blogdorf Goodman, application can be tricky. I've experimented a little and found out that Jade Rose works best over an Essie glaze base coat. It kept streaks to a minimum and the results are good. So far, I only had one small chip in three days when I banged my hand on a dresser in an odd angle (don't ask).
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Polish in Jade And Jade Rose ($25 each) is exclusive to Chanel boutiques and chanel.com.
