some velvet morning
My new job has a fairly strict dress code, but black nailpolish is one of the few things I can wear. I picked up Chanel's new limited-edition lacquer #430 Black Velvet from their pre-fall Paris-Shanghai collection. If I'm not mistaken, I think The Divinitus has this color as well. The hype surrounding this polish is that it has a matte finish, but as my picture shows, it's not completely matte.
It's more like a buttery smooth leather finish. There is some sheen present, but it is an extremely dull sheen, one that highly diffuses reflecting light. It's a lovely finish, and makes me feel like I'm feel like I'm wearing latex on my nails. Congrats Chanel, you've created the first fetish-friendly nail lacquer.
Black Velvet, Trapeze, and Particuliere are all I need for the summer. Neutral workhorses, and Black Velvet for special occasions.
