nautica voyage sport edt fathers day gift idea

Pictured: c/o Nautica Voyage Sport EDT for men

Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is a new flanker fragrance to popular men’s fragrance Nautica Voyage EDT. This fresh take on Voyage by Nautica is a nautical, woody scent which offers an ideal fragrance experience for men on warm summer days. Love that!

The zesty, green top, and middle notes, combine with the woody, musky base to create a nautical fragrance experience with a slightly warm, woody base. It is ideal to wear throughout the summer on a daily basis. Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is light enough to wear to the office, and sporty enough for weekend activities. It is quite versatile!

Although most eau de toilette’s disappear after four to six hours, Nautica Voyage Sport EDT lasts throughout the day. It is long-lasting, and complex; a joy to wear throughout the day! My husband loves it! Of course, I like it on him 😉

 Top notes: sea spray accord, sea salt, coriander

Middle (heart) notes: citrus zest, geranium, green peppercorn, apple, palm leaves

Base notes: Brazil wood, musk, patchouli, vetiver

If you are looking for a fabulous gift for Father’s Day, an upcoming birthday, or late graduation gift, Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is the perfect choice! This is also a great gift idea to keep in mind for the holiday season later this year 😉

Hopefully Nautica will come out with more products in the Voyage Sport scent. My husband would love to see an after-shave, shower gel, and travel size spray. Perhaps a gift set will come out for the holiday season! Fingers crossed 😉

 Nautica Voyage Sport EDT can be found online here.

dolce and gabbana turquoise nail polish for summer 2016

When I first laid eyes upon Turquoise by Dolce & Gabbana for summer 2016, I fell in love! This was a nail polish color I knew I had to have for the summer season. It was a little bit hard to find, since it had already sold out in several stores. Thankfully, I was able to find Dolce & Gabbana Turquoise nail polish for summer 2016 in stock, online here (USA), and online here (UK delivery only). Yes!

As with all Dolce & Gabbana nail polishes, the color is long lasting, even, and unique. I tested Dolce and Gabbana Turquoise nail polish for summer 2016 out with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted a full week! Love that!

Turquoise is a fun color to wear in the summer months. It is bright, light-hearted, and plays well with most other color groups; except shades of red and orange.

I am looking forward to wearing Dolce & Gabbana Turquoise nail polish often this summer!

Chanel Canotier nail polish review

chanel canotier longwear nail polish for summer 2016

Chanel Canotier nail polish, is a hot, new golden hue from Chanel’s longwear nail polish collection. This edgy version of soft gold is part of Chanel’s summer 2016 beauty collection, “Collection Dans La Lumiere De L’Ete.” The summer 2016 beauty collection contains four nail polish hues; so stay tuned for more reviews in the coming weeks from this collection! Love it!

You may have seen me post reviews of gold nail polish colors in the past. Although I have tested several gold nail polishes, none have had an edgy gleam in their color. Chanel Canotier longwear nail polish has a very, very slight black undertone, which turns naturally warm gold, into a cool, golden hue, which is unexpected, and hard to find elsewhere. Love!

How do I describe Chanel Canotier nail polish? Well, let’s consider this; gold is naturally a warm hue. The more karats gold contains, the deeper, and warmer, the color saturation. Ten karat gold is soft, while twenty-two karat gold is a metallic almost-mustard-like hue which evokes memories of seeing Egyptian treasures in a museum. In other words, pale gold is from the modern world, dark gold is more pure, therefore reminiscent of ancient times; before metal smiths, and jewelers, mixed nickel, and other metals, with gold in order to strengthen the metal for jewelry design; as well as to keep the cost down.

Chanel Canotier nail polish is like a soft, ten to fourteen karat gold hue; yet unlike the gold we are used to seeing in modern times, it is not warm, it is cool, like silver. In addition, there is a very slight, black undertone to Chanel Canotier nail polish, which is what makes the color cool, instead of warm. This is definitely the edgiest gold nail polish I have tried!

Although Chanel Canotier longwear nail polish is from Chanel’s summer 2016 beauty collection, it is a classic color which can easily become a go-to staple in one’s nail polish wardrobe. I would love to wear this color during the upcoming holiday season. It is neutral, classic, yet, it is cutting-edge. Love!

I tested out Chanel Canotier nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish lasted eight days. I only changed it because my nails grew. Chanel’s new longwear collection is living up to it’s name. It refuses to chip! I did the dishes, and cleaned one bathroom, without gloves to test out the strength of the nail polish, and lo and behold-no chips! It did not even wear off on the edges. This is strong stuff.

Stay tuned! I will be reviewing more colors from Chanel’s summer nail polish collection!
