When Peter Philips took over as creative director of makeup at Chanel this past year, his first project was a huge, overwhelming success. If you dabbled in bright nail polish colors this summer, it is because of the trickle-down effect of Philips’ limited-edition Robertson Boulevard collection, which included hot pink, hot orange, yellow, and purple colors that were so wildly popular, they sold out many times over and inspired more than a few imitations. When he followed this up with Gold Fiction, an 18-karat gold-flecked lacquer, it became clear that Philips intended to keep up Chanel’s tradition of creating collectible—and limited-edition—nail colors to send product fiends into a tizzy. “I love nail polish,” Philips confirms. “I feel like I’m a kid in a candy store when I get into the laboratory.” For his next trick, he’s releasing two limited-edition colors in January: a pink/Champagne offering previewed at the RTW show last week, as well as a shade that has the candy man himself a little excited. As part of his Gypsy-themed Spring collection, Philips has created Vendetta—a deep aubergine polish in the same vein as last year’s best-seller, Blue Satin. Ladies, set your homepages.
