Okay, so I *totally* get the glam 1930’s/’40s Shanghai thing Chanel states they were going for with the new Noir et Or (“Black as well as Gold”) collection, however oooh, gurrl, I’m getting some strong MC Hammer vibes too!
If Hammer had seen this collection method back when he was scooting across stages, he may have asked, “Can I touch this?”

Come mai? since it’s so hot, as well as so timeless.
Was the Chanel team deliberately referencing doubtful late ’80s hip-hop fashion as well as style when they believed up the four-piece collection for eyes as well as nails? most likely not … however wouldn’t it have been remarkable if they had?
Inspiration for the collection
Chanel worldwide innovative director Peter Philips brought Noir et Or into being for the Chanel Metier D’Art fashion show in Shanghai, drawing upon the spirit of Ms. Coco herself (as he commonly does)!

Where can I discover it?
That’s a great question. get prepared for a charm search of sorts, Chanelophiles, since it may take some effort to track down. The three polishes as well as eye duo are offered now, however they aren’t being brought at routine Chanel counters (huh?).
You can, however, discover them at Chanel boutiques, makeup Studios as well as on the internet at chanel.com.
I assumption Chanel was aiming to produce an additional sense of exclusivity this time around around.
A better look…
Of the four pieces in the collection, I’m digging the polishes the most ($25 each). Black Velvet, Gold Lame as well as illusion d’or all have that traditional Chanel polish structure you understand as well as like — thick (but not as well thick) as well as smooth, with a gorgeous, glossy surface that just says, “Chanel.”
Le Vernis nail Colour in illusion d’or
The gold as well as purple shimmer bits swimming gleefully with this remove polish are just as lovely on nails as they are in the bottle, yet in spite of the bits, the polish dries to a smooth finish. Yup, ain’t no grit in this game.
Illusion d’or appears like fairy magic to me, as well as I believe it’s downright spectacular layered atop Black Velvet. as well poor it’s so blasted expensive, however we are speaking Chanel… At least in this situation you’re getting value both in terms of all around execution as well as performance. makeup as well as Beauty: A
Le Vernis nail Colour in Black Velvet
I don’t autumn hook line as well as sinker for black nail polishes that often, however I gotta provide Chanel props for piquing my rate of interest here.
The frosted bottle’s a break from common Chanel packaging, as well as the surface — WOW! halfway between a matte as well as a gloss, so it’s neither flat nor shiny.
Can’t state I’ve ever seen anything rather like it before… If you like black nail polishes, you may take a better look. makeup as well as charm blog Rating: B+
Le Vernis nail Colour in Gold Lamé
I like the pigment as well as exactly how buttery smooth Gold Lamé feels…
But it doesn’t get as well as shake me silly like a great deal of other Chanel polishes do (hello, Jade!). most likely for ye olde die-hard Chanel polish collectors only. makeup as well as charm blog Rating: B

Ligne et Ombre de Chanel in Jet-Gold
If you like sheer makeup, then you may like the last bit gem in Noir et Or, the powder eyeshadow/eyeliner duo that is Ligne et Ombre de Chanel in Jet-Gold ($45)!
Both apply practically like watercolor paints… in sparkling golden shadow as well as matte black. They’re practically transparent, really, however no matter exactly how you may feel about their pigment (or lack thereof), both feel soft to the touch as well as apply with signature Chanel smooove.
I can appreciate what I believe Chanel was going for with the duo, however I like much more BOOM-BOOM-POW! in the pigment department, particularly thinking about the $45 price.
You may take a better look if you like uber-sheer makeup products or just like anything as well as whatever Chanel. makeup as well as charm blog Rating: B-
Must have Noir et Or?
If anything from the collection constitutes “must-have,” for me it’s got to be illusion d’or with Black velvet trailing a close second. If you’re broken between the two, think about this: you might choose illusion d’or as well as always layer it atop any type of black polish, if you occur to already have one more one in your stash.

Like the rest of the products right here it’s pricey, but… [it is Chanel].
What do you believe about Chanel Noir et Or? as well as exactly how do you feel about Chanel makeup in general?
