When it comes to choosing nail polish we want a colour we
like and flatters our hands or/and feet and we also want it to be durable.

| Le Gel Coat |
So I was pleased to see that Chanel has recently
reformulated its Le Vernis and teamed it with Le Gel Coat (Duo Set Le Vernis and Le Gel Coat, £36, limited
edition) which, the company
says, lasts up to six days.

| Le Vernis Ballerina |
One of my favourite Chanel colours of all time is Ballerina,
a pretty nude pale pink that works with everything. I tried the new formulation
loaded with bioceramics which help prevent it chipping, and ceramides which
helps care for the nails.
After applying the colour, which I am pleased to say went on
easily and did not streak, I used Le Gel Coat that provided my nails with a
beautiful sheen which looked classy. Some gel polishes can look like you have
covered your nails in plastic.

| Le Vernis Garçonne |
A plus point of this long-lasting gel is that it contains an
oligomer energised by natural light so no UV lamps are needed.
My colour lasted almost a week and chips were hardly noticeable. I was thrilled. The 15
colours, as you would expect from Chanel, are so great that I am now starting
to start to be a bit more adventurous. I am loving Garçonne, a gorgeous grey
tinged with green.
