Nails dripping with pearls

Meet Black Pearl and Pearl Drop - Chanel’s latest nail colour.

Inspired by Coco Chanel’s love for pearls.

I have to be frank. As much as I love to wear white pearls strung, applying Pearl Drop on my nails was a tricky affair. As you can tell, it is sort of a little streaky and unevenly painted. The shine wasn’t very obvious as well.

However, I did feel like a princess for 3 days - till I decided I had enough of chipping polish.

Perhaps, it’s just that I prefer goth.

I had little qualms with Black Pearl.

I had no trouble painting these on my nails. 5 days on and it still looks good!

Initially hesitant, I’m falling in love with the colour. It does look like black pearls - slightly teal grey with hints of blue-green. It looks very good paired with a white top and heels.

The nail polish retails for $36 at the respective Chanel make-up shops.
