UNLESS you are completely colour blind or indifferent to fashion - in which ease, why are you reading this page you cannot but have noticed that this season's favourite style cliche is the pronouncement that brown is the new black. Possibly you never eared to wear black anyway, opting instead for shades a little warmer than deepest midnight. However, if it has been your favourite shade, then you'll know black even broke through into nail colour last year when Chanel released a polish in this colour; it became the surprise best seller of summer 1995.

Since then, an enormous number of other shades have been produced in an effort to equal the success of black nail polish. The latest is chocolate brown and it stands a fair chance of doing particularly well, precisely because the velour dominates all clothing right now. Any woman who wants to look meticulously Coordinated will definitely want to wear brown on her nails, meaning this bottle recently added to the range from Lancome ought to sell particularly well over the next few weeks.
