Chanel Delicatesse nail polish for fall from the Fashion’s Night Out collection

Chanel Delicatesse is one of three beautiful nail colors from the Paris design houses’ special, limited editionFashion’s Night Out collection. With neutral, chocolate brown, purple and berry hues being all the rage in nail color for the fall 2012 season it is no wonder that Chanel figured out a way to fuse together the berry nail polish trend and the beige or “nude” nail color trend into one fabulous nail polish!

Delicatesse by Chanel is a rich, berry infused beige which takes on a neutral tone when paired with shades of brown and tan while appearing to be a berry shade when up against purple or berry hues. Very tricky Chanel!

What makes Delicatesse by Chanel incredible is that it blends well with both warm and cold hues; making it the ultimate neutral for the fall 2012 season. Love that!

This is also the perfect alternative to wearing nude or beige nails this cool weather season. After all, some of us like a little color on our fingertips!

Chanel Delicatesse nail polish is part of Chanel’s special, limited edition Fashion’s Night Out collection and can be found at Chanel boutiques nation-side. Delicatesse by Chanel is priced at $26.
What do you think of Chanel Delicatesse? Is it a must-have for you or will you pass on it and stay beige when it comes to a neutral nail this fall?
