Green with envy

By Natalia Rachlin

My fabulous friend who works at The Wall Group in NYC, hopped over the pond a few weeks back, and smuggled through the purported nail polish of the season – yep – CHANEL #407, in JADE (and here I was thinking that anything Chanel should only travel outbound from Paris – alas, it sold out here long ago).

Curious to see what all the fuss was about … we poured a glass of vino and sat down to bond over a nail-painting session, suffering serious flashbacks of teenagehood. As for the results, green we became indeed, seriously envious of anyone with the deliciously bronzed skin tone that will do this minty colour justice.

And having long-ago learned that by no stretch of the imagination will I ever be even slightly tan, I went ahead and passed my Jade onto my 14-year-old cousin in Copenhagen. Now I hear the little bottles of green are going for a hundred + bucks on eBay (OMG, it’s nail polish people!) leaving me, well, nails au natural, and more broke than ever.
