TREND REPORT – Chanel’s new “it” nail colour – Black Pearl for Spring/ Summer 2011

Tomorrow sees the nationwide launch of Chanel’s new Spring/ Summer 2011 makeup collection. A collection of shades that will make your heart melt!  I know we’re still stuck in Spring/ Summer 2010, but our friends on the other side of the equator are ahead of us, and thankfully we can still indulge in their pleasures!

We’re totally smitten with Black Pearl, the new “it” colour from this collection that was seen on the catwalk of the Chanel Spring/ Summer 2011 show. You know when a Chanel catwalk features a colour, it’s pretty safe to say that colour will become the most coveted colour in the land.

Black Pearl is a pearly grey shimmering shade with deep blue and green reflections – just like a black pearl from the Pacific.

Black Pearl is not quite grey, its not quite green and its not quite blue either – its just totally unique! I got to sample this magnificent colour and I think its safe to say that its my new favouite-favourite!

On some days it looks gun metal grey, others a little greeny and other’s totally metallic! It’s all about how the light catches this pearl!

Don’t miss it! My bottle is already half empty!

Exclusive to Edgars; V&A Waterfront, Tygervalley, Claremont, Sandton, Menlyn, Melrose Arch, Clearwater, Gateway and Westville
