This mani/pedi was from the weekend - right after Thanksgiving when I was dreaming of warm sandy beaches. Living in Southern California, I shouldn't complain, but I spent part of the extended weekend watching Chanel's Saint-Tropez Cruise 2010/2011 Fashion Show (yes, a few months late) and couldn't help but feel envious of the beautiful warm-looking weather. I immediately was inspired to make myself feel resort-like the only way I could by doing a Chanel cruise-inspired mani/pedi.
The inspiration from the fashion show, nude pink nails on the hands and blue on the toes. I know most breakdowns list Jade Rose on the fingers, but I decided to go with Inattendu instead for the hands. I stuck with the new Riva on the toes to mimic the models.
Mani/pedi both have 3 coats each:
Chanel Inattendu Le Vernis:
Chanel Riva Le Vernis:
Inattendu also featured in this month's InStyle:

ooh! I am loving "inattendu." I have yet to own a Chanel nail varnish, however this may be my first purchase!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful combo! Is Inattendu similar to Jade Rose?
ReplyDeletechanel makes the best nail colors.
ReplyDeleteOk, no one likes Riva's formula, but the color is just so GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteInattendu--one of my favorites! And it looks beautiful with Riva. You come up with some lovely nail combinations. This is one I think I'll be copying :-)
ReplyDeleteLoving the blue!
ReplyDeleteYES!
ReplyDeleteyou are so right. As soon as I saw the whole collection (eye shadows are to die for), that is what I thought of.
this collection is definitely cruise material =).
I am dead set on those shadows. The shadows and nail polish look amazing together.
very tropical cruise worthy colors.
I live in flordia and am surrounded by beaches. I don't care for cruises but the chanel collection makes me wanna take one.
your engagement ring is beautiful by the way.
i love inattendu!
ReplyDeleteI have just madly fallen in love with Riva!
