Stylish Simplicity – Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour – Ballerina
We had some sunny and warm weather here in Rome on Saturday (only to get slammed with more rain yesterday, today, and apparently for the next three days).
On Saturday all the outdoor cafes were packed. Everyone was rocking their sunnies and most of the heavy winter coats were packed away. Of course, some Signore insisted in wearing their furs as it’s only mid-March.
During the Winter I give my nails a break. With the change in weather, it’s time for a professional mani/pedi.

My favorite neutral is Chanel’s Ballerina.
This color looks great on almost any skin tone. That’s one reason why so many manicurists and beauty editors rave about it. Another reason is the quality. Yes, it’s more expensive than the drugstore brands, but the polish doesn’t streak, lasts a long time, and is formaldehyde-free, toluene-free, and DBP-free.
One coat is very sheer. Two coats gives you a little more pink, but not too pink. It’s a sophisticated, yet fun color.
I know many people like to wear outrageous colors on their hands. For me, it’s not practical. On my hands, I like to keep it simple and stylish. Ballerina is everything.
Love this color and Chanel polishes are fantastic!
I’m thinking I should try some of their brighter colors for my pedicures!
ooooooooo. Where can I get this? Macy’s you think? Or do I need to go to a higher end place? I’m thinking about treating myself and getting a mani before SXM. I never do my nails because they ALWAYS chip. I’m getting a pedi for sure, and right now I’m into rocking the blue. Although today I switched it up to metallic gray (essie is what I use).
If Macy’s doesn’t have it Nordstorms does does carry Chanel.
This color is so light (especially, if you use only one coat) the chipping is less obvious.
Metallic gray is pretty. Was thinking about get that color for my next pedicure.
