Nothing says luxury like Chanel; the privately held beauty firm continues to be a perennial favorite and trendsetter internationally. For example, Chanel has a knack for creating the most sought-after nail lacquer shades, such as the cult classic, Vamp. In May, the company unveiled the Robertson Collection, four limited edition nail polishes. Shades, which are $25 each, include LA sunrise (yellow), Melrose (pink), Rodeo Drive (purple) and LA Sunset (red).In June, Chanel signed a deal with British actress Emma Watson, making her the new face of Coco Mademoiselle.
