I love nail art but rarely wear it myself. I  suppose it’s because I’m such a minimalist at heart. But when I spotted these Chanel “slim silhouette” nails awhile back during couture week, I thought “how lovely” and “must do this.”

Since I’m in Toronto this week, I visited the super talented Leeanne Colley at Tips Nail Bar, the city’s #1 nail expert, to recreate it. Not being a pink polish girl, I opted for a beige (and improved it, I think!).

Leeanne, being the authority that she is, told me that the slim silhouette nail appeared a season earlier at Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2012 show (check out the “how-to” here). How did I miss this?
