The Chanel Khaki Collection, a.k.a Les Khakis de Chanel is set to be the NEW next best thing in nails. Hang on, didn't we just have that with Chanel Paradoxal? Yes, I think we did. Still trying to hog the varnish cult bandwagon despite the fact that it chips really quickly, Chanel has ANOTHER highly touted nail colour(s) to share with us. Created by Peter Philips, the creative director for Chanel, the collection is boring. BORING. It comprises of three muted shades, an earthy brown, a dusky rose and a pale green- also known as Chanel Khaki Brun, Chanel Khaki Rose and Chanel Khaki Vert.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong about these colours they're just really dull, and suggest a season full of muted restraint and pared down glamour rather than flamboyance and brights. Sure, some people will adore these shades, but I think Chanel was missing a trick here- if they'd have given us something bold and bright I'd have been excited rather than just jaded by their poor colour choices. No word on a UK release date yet.
