Chanel Shade Parade – Watch Your Favorite Chanel Nail Polishes Dance

By on September 2, 2011

This Chanel Shade Parade video has been getting quite a bit of buzz and couldn’t resist sharing. It’s so quirky and unexpected for Chanel that I can’t help but love it.

What’s interesting is a contestant in the Sally Hansen PopTent Video Contest that I judged submitted their version of a Sally Hansen Salon Effects commercial with walking fingers, only they were strutting a catwalk, not kicking up their heels in dance.

At the end the “credits” list the 18 Chanel Le Vernis nail polish colors used in the video and I actually have a lot of them, 14 to be exact. How many do you own?

    Love this video, and the music as well. However – considering the chiptastic quality of the Chanel nail varnishes, I came to wonder how many times they had to repaint those nails so that the lacuer would endure all that tapping on the hard surfaces.
    I have all the Chanel shades I want – Black Pearl and Paradoxal.

    Awesome commercial, and I have way too many Chanel polishes. It would have been an even better ad if they had hands of all races/ethnicities — although I suspect they had one person with all the polishes — the hands looked the same. Still very cool.

    This parade was inspired in a brazilian event, called Nails Fashion Week, realized in 8-9th June, this year. http://www.youtube.com/nailsfashionweek

    This was really cute. I actually only have two of the polishes featured but I’d love to have more!

  5. Sarah says:

    Brilliant! I have 15 and will be seeking out ‘orange fizz’ and the new pink asap!

    That’s so… cute! I imagine the hand models had fun with that one.. though I wonder how many times they screwed up, too. ;P
    I’m not into Chanel’s polish, though.
    The Salon Effects Fashion Show video is a riot!

    I enjoyed that! Very cute way of advertising. I have 3 of those (Rouge Noir, Black Pearl and Orange Fizz).

    Thanks for sharing! I’m lucky in that my Chanel polishes last around 8 days without chips. Anything longer would be overkill…I switch out shades every week anyway!

    Thanks for sharing. That was super cute!

    I love this video! The music stuck right in my head. As for the nail polish shades: I don’t own any Chanel nail polish. I just don’t have affinity with the brand Chanel or their colours and they are too expensive for me!

  13. Marina says:

    OMG this is so cute! I only own 3 Chanel polishes – Graphite, Nuit de Russie and Blue Wish. Love them.

    I would love the ad, but no women of color? That’s a shame.

    Lovely production! I’ve seen that idea first in June, in Nails Fashion Week (Brazil,)but they weren’t dancing as in Chanel’s are:)
