Elevate your at-home manicure routine with these luxe natural nail essentials from Chanel.
I know Russian nails and other nail trends are having a moment, but I've been going back to the basics. After doing no-chip gel at the salon for years, I want my natural nails to thrive.
Lately, I've been focusing on building a small collection of at-home manicure essentials, and these Chanel products are the best for natural nails. All of them feature extracts from the beloved Camélia flower that adds a beautiful finish.
If you also want to elevate your manicure routine, while still saving more than the cost of regular nail salon visits, this edit is especially for you. Our site may earn a small affiliate commission if you choose to indulge in any of these products.
Before continuing, here are the steps for a natural Chanel manicure, according to their website and refined by me:
Moisturize and push back cuticles with Camélia Nail Oil
Nourish, protect and smooth nails with Camélia Base Coat
Add color with one of the natural Le Vernis Nail Polish
Boost staying power and shine with Le Gel Top Coat
Extend the life of your manicure with La Crema Main Riche
Chanel Camélia Nail Oil
This nail treatment is truly a treat. Ever since I've started using this on my nails and cuticles, they are longer, stronger, and healthier than ever. I appreciate the beautiful applicator as much as the formula.
Chanel Camélia Base Coat
I'm obsessed with this addition to my Chanel beauty collection. You can actually use this nourishing and repairing base coat alone as a nude color, or apply before another polish. It will give your natural nails a healthy sheen.
Chanel Le Vernis Ballerina
This is Chanel's version of the timeless ballerina pink nail color. It is a feminine and elegant color that goes on sheer with a subtle hint of hue. Choose this if you prefer a minimal nail color.
Chanel Le Vernis White Silk
The newest shade in Chanel's nail polish collection is this off white creamy nude. It's more noticeable but still suitable for the natural nail look.
Chanel Le Vernis Duelliste
In the fall and winter, I sometimes want a richer nail color that is still natural looking. This grayish brown taupe makes just as much of a statement as classic red, just less flashy.
Chanel Le Gel Top Coat
To finish off your manicure, this top coat goes on like lacquer. It has a glossy sheen that will make your manicure look professional. Bonus that it dries fairly quickly.
Chanel La Crema Main Riche
To keep your manicure fresh for days, a luxurious hand cream is key. I opt for the "riche" formula which provides more moisture. It also helps prevent hangnails and ragged cuticles.
