So I’m supposed to be studying Securities Law & Business Associations for finals right now but I couldn’t contain my excitement for the new Chanel Spring 2010 line. The spring collection has been trickling instores and my local Saks just got them in yesterday and my favorite SA pulled the testers from the back even though the Chanel rep was off for the day and didn’t have the unit set up.
For official promotional photos, check out Marina’s blog Makeup4All!
A more comprehensive post will be coming soon, but I wanted to show you the three new nail polishes that came out:
- #503 Inattendu – neutral light peach
- #505 Particuliere – grey taupe
- #507 Tendresse – soft pink cream
All three are cream and have no shimmer. Those who love neutrals will like these, although I must admit they are very dupe-able (more dupe swatches to come soon). My biggest weakness is for Chanel – when I got home, I had slight buyer’s remorse feeling that “why did I buy these nail polishes?” when I already have similar colors. But when I put them on, I found they have just the right amount of pigment so that they aren’t too yellowy or white. Often times, peachy colors end up looking yellowy on my skin and pinks look whitish once they are on my nails.
The eyeshadow singles and quads are the winners in the collection for me.
More descriptions and details to come in the next couple days featuring the highlight powder, new blush, rouge allures and glossimers. Along with comparisons too!
Thanks for the nail polish pics! I just saw this collection two days ago – Bloomies is sold out of holiday and put up spring. I also really like the highlighter compact in this collection… whereas the tweed highlighter from holiday was more yellow gold (warm), this one is more champagney-gold (cooler). The new top coat and base coat for nails is available now as well.
*sigh*
Chanel is a weakness for me, too!
Good luck with exams, Lina.

Wow Sabrina!!! These look great!! I especially like the quad and the single shadows… Speaking of taupe nailpolish have you tried Sephora by O.P.I.'s "Under my trench coat"?? Its a really pretty khakhi/taupe with gold shimmer, I think you'll like it.. 🙂 I am also looking forward to the highlighter compact from this collection! Looking forward to more posts about this collection!
And good luck with finals! 🙂
I just bought OPI's Over the Taupe and I wonder how that color would compare with Particuliere…
Ooh, those all look so pretty on you! I hope I can find dupes for them though, I haven't bought any Chanel polishes yet, and if I did it'd probably be Trapeze (or Jade though that one's so long gone now ;_;).
Can't wait for your swatches and thoughts on the eyeshadows though, Kaska Beige looks like such a perfect quad!
These are all lovely–I can wait to see the blush and highlighter too! Thanks for the early pictures!
My gosh! Inattendu is SO PRETTY!!! I forgot to tell you how I loved the reviews you did on Paul and Joe.. seems like you spent a bunch! But it was all worth it.. love their stuff..You are doing great!
Girl, you are tempting me with such gorgeous things! I am drooling over those nail polishes!!! <3
Good luck with finals and thank you for taking a moment to swatch these. I bought Particuliere today! (Chronic case, I know, but I'd been waiting for it.)
The new quad, Beige Kaska, is indeed beautiful but a little similar to previous quads – the light beige is the same shade as in "Les Dunes," or very close.
The new lipliner,"Beige #36" is very pale and very beige, not a neutral nude. HTH, and thanks, Lina.
Gah, it's not even christmas and spring make up is here!
Loving neutrals right now and everything looks lovely. I'll have to stalk some chanel counters soon =)
Sillage is GORGEOUS! And that quad is pretty, even though I never find Chanel quads to be pigmented enough for my tastes. I'm even drawn to Particuliere even though I cannot stand nail polish =)
and good luck on the final! xoxo
oookay, I'm drowned in beauty! These are PERFECT! That's all I can say now…..*goes back to adore the photos*
You are killing me!!! Everything looks amazing *IN LOVE*! This is the best Spring 2010 collection. And I just promised myself not not buy that much makeup. And I am still waiting for that Glossimers Set. It takes ages to get something from US here.
I love Particuliere and Kaska Beige and can't wait to see the Glossimers!
And, of course, thank you very much for mentioning my blog x
It is so lovely.
I could not pick up something in Xmass collection so I am really looking forward to the spring one since I like Chanel.
Would be great to see eyeshadows swatches. I need finally to buy some eyeshadows and these look like a good choice.
great polish swatches! i'm feeling them all ;P
Gosh, I'm also so very excited about Chanel Spring 2010 Collection, ever since I saw some promo pictures on the internet.
I fell in love with the #505 Particuliere at once, and now that I see your swatch, I adore it even more! But #503 Inattendu is gorgeous too! Aww… I think, I'm going to get my hands on these two! 😉
I have been putting off buying any new Chanel, but I might just have to place an order now!
I love neutrals and these are especially nice.
the taupe is calling to me!

What a great spring collection. Where did you buy it–Nordstrom doesn't seem to have it out yet?
Could you by any chance swatch the eyeshadow singles, especially the brown one? How does it compare to Le Bronze?
Lina,
Can't wait for the review of the quad–I'm such a Chanel palette Ho. Neutrals are my thang adn this looks very promising, especially after I was a bit disappointed with the Holiday quad.
Thanks for posting!
Wow…hello perfect baby pink nail polish!! Thanks for the amazing pictures as always.
