In her blog here:

It says it's for the Moscow Fashion night in September, but doesn't say if it'll be released worldwide though.
Btw, there are also some swatches of the rouge allure velvets in her blog if anyone is interested.

Pirate is such a pretty red.
Pirate and the matte topcoat are already available over here, withe the Rouge Allure Velvet l/s, apparently those are released together with the regular fall collection.
About those blue n/p, I read that they are only available in Berlin (that is for Germany, don't know about other countries), and only on one day. And also only as a set, not sold individually. Since I'm far away from Berlin and don't know anybody who lives there, I'll probaly have no chance to get my hands on them

^^^Only in Berlin and on one day?? That is not good news! I really like the set.
I tried Chanel top coat and then a layer of Seche Vite, and my Chanel np held up for three days. Usually it chips within a day. I have also ordered the Chanel base coat. So I am going to try a combo of Chanel base, Chanel top coat, and Seche Vite and then see how everything holds up. I added Seche Vite b/c I want everything to dry quickly. I am anxiously awaiting the matte top coat.

I believe it's gonna be pretty much the same thing with this set like it was with the Les Khakis n/p. They were also only available in one high end department store in Berlin.
But I don't know if and how those were available in the US, so it might be different there.

I'm very satisfied with Blue Satin and Riva so the new blues will be a skip for me. Pirate looks really pretty but I'm not sure I need that one either.

I have a question: how long do your Chanel polishes last without chipping?
I'm asking because even though I use two coats of top coat (the Revlon No-Chip Top Coat, best one I've tried so far, waaay better than the OPI or China Glaze in my opinion) they chip in a few hours.
And that's very disappointing considering that some drug store brands which cost 1/10 of the Chanel ones last on my nails for an entire week without chipping.
So I was wondering: any suggestion for a top coat? Which ones do you use?

Wearing Pirate today. Pirate is the perfect example why I love Chanel nail polishes: it practically flows onto the nail, nice coverage in two layers and the colour is a very classy, sophisticated red. Very Coco Chanel. A darker red with a veryveryveryvery slight pink touch. Love it, and normally I am not a fan of red nail polish on me.

Great to hear you love Pirate! I'm also not a fan of red nail polishes on me. I have none and I'm looking for a glittery red one, but Chanel is not making any. I want my red nail polish to be not bright and warm, not pink or berry, just slightly deep but not deep like rouge fatale. I'm just excited to see pIrate in person.

Some pics of Pirate at the tips and the velvet top coat. http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2011/08/velvet-nails-with-chanel.html There is a pink red nail polish that is shimmery in this holiday collection. Not a fan of pink red nail polishes, but we shall see if I like it.
