For no Particulière reason…
Jumping on the bandwagon, I present Chanel’s Particulière polish. It looks a bit darker en plein air. Toes only this time; maybe next time I’ll go with fingers too. It’s a bit of an odd color (sort of dark taupe with just a hint of lilac), but I’m liking it. I think.
In other breaking news, une femme is now a proud iphone owner. I’ll be driving everyone around me crazy for the next week as I marvel at all of the amazing things this little gadget can do. Slurps up a charge like a frat boy at a Friday night kegger, though.

I got mine! It’s probably the only bit of true Chanel that I’ll ever be able to afford (oh, that Comète pendant…). The color seems peculiar at first but I was surprised to note how well it works with a vast array of neutrals. Instant chic!
My sister was playing with her IPhone in front of me this weekend and I admit to feeling envious — it might be making its way onto one of my lists . . . have fun with yours!
I love Particuliere too. Found it at Neiman’s in Palo Alto. Love my iPhone but you are SO RIGHT about the charge. After years of Nokia and Moto it’s a slap in the face. Or, as you put much more amusingly, a frat boy at a keg.
Oh, I like it. I’m too timid to do it on the hands, but I like your test walking it for us on your feet.
Love your little comment about frat bogs, kegs and I-Phones, that’s a nifty piece of writing.
Mr. HB has had an I-phone since they came out and I swear he still is in love with it! The polish is very edgy, I am having a pedicure on Wednesday and the salon only has OPI but I might be able to find something similar…are you going to be wearing peep toe shoes today? or maybe going to Yoga? Enjoy the attention those toes will be applauded.
I hate my iPhone! So hard for email…and AT&T means most of my phone conversations go: “Hello? Hello? Hello?” until I realize I’m disconnected again.
I hope you have better luck!
And here is a neat thing you can do with an IPhone: https://squareup.com/
I though maybe it was just my phone that ate up power! My brother, who knows such things, advises to turn off the wi-fi when not using it to help conserve power. I want to investigate Sal’s option, too. On the nail front, not sure about that color – doesn’t say Spring to me.
I have been to 4 stores and still no Particle. Where did you find it?
Congrats on your I-phone! Be sure to get your new phone an outfit( protector). They are delicate little things and need a shell. I saw very cute I-phone covers at kate Spade. I wonder if Chanel makes one?Hmmm…
Yay for iPhones! I got a portable battery charger that fits around the phone – makes it a bit heavier, but not much, and WAY more convenient than a car charger.
I like Iphones ( I want one too!) – but I will pass with the craze about that particular Chanel polish color. I have seen it in reality at the counter but then decided it is far too “muddy” for me, so I went with a nice spring-y apricot hue. Better for me.
An interesting color. Chanel has great colors, for eyes and lips as well. The color looks good on your toe nails! I don´t think that I could manage with the i-phone, am having already so much trouble searching after my phone from my bag. Good for you!
Cute colour….xv
I need a new phone, but I can’t justify getting a new phone because I don’t use my old phone. I don’t use my old phone because it’s not easy to work with….sigh.
I’d rather get toenail polish.
Well done. As you know I fully embrace this shade. Get it on your mitts ASAP. It is getting harder to source. xxxx
Wow, the colour looks totally different to what I’ve seen in magazines. I meant to check it out while in the city yesterday, but forgot …
You must install the style.com and TouchCloset apps! Both are really good.
Love the Shazam app–lets you know what any song is (playing on the radio, in a store, on a commercial) and then lets you buy it! Magic!
Joan – now that I’m used to seeing this unusual color on my toes, I’m ready for fingers!
La Belette Rouge – nordstrom.com seems to have it available now. I did get the cheap case for the i-phone, am now glad I did.
Sal – I’m considering one of those but am worried as my bag is already heavy enough…
materfamilias – it really does have some cool features. Not a necessity by any means, but fun.
Chatelelaine – apricot sounds lovely too!
LPC – so far am just charging it nightly, but did buy a car charger too.
metscan – one thing that I must have in my bags is an interior pocket that can be accessed easily. That’s where the phone lives!
vicki archer – thanks!
Tish Jett – thanks re: the color and the writing! I’ve grown accustomed to this odd color and will at least give it a try on my hands. (Polish doesn’t last too long on me as I’m always jamming my hands into something that chips the polish, then I have to remove it right away!)
hostess of humble bungalow – alas, it’s turned WAY too chilly for open toes. Maybe next week.
WendyB – well, already had that problem with my current phone as my employer-discounted plan is only available through AT&T. The Nokia I had a couple of years ago was the *worst*…always dropping calls!
Toby Wollin – they had a version of that at the Apple store, but not for sale, just for employee use.
SewingLibrarian – right now that seems like more trouble than just charging the darn thing! 😉
tiffany – I don’t think this is a good representation…for some reason it looks much darker and browner than IRL. It’s more of a dark taupe color.
phyllis – done! I’m anxious to play with the TouchCloset…looks really cool!
g – toenail polish is certainly less of a committment, I’ll grant that. 😀
Faux Fuschia – I’m hoping to “mitt up” this week. Am really liking this color!
Apocalipstick – I’ve downloaded that one as well, thanks for the recommendation!
Nice toenails! And congrats on jumping on the iPhone bandwagon.
Oh you are soooo cool!
Nice colour! For people looking for similar, I bought something which looks IDENTICAL to the photo of your toes, at the drugstore – a Sally Hansen colour called Commander in Chic. It’s what looks like a newish line called Complete Salon Manicure.
I did look at Particuliere in the Bay, but couldn’t stomach the price, for a polish.
