Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish for spring 2016, is the hot new nail color from Chanel for the spring season. This nail polish is destined to be the IT color of the season! Is it blue? Is it purple? Well, it happens to be both; depending upon where you are standing.

That’s right! Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks navy blue in the bottle. When applied in artificial light, it is a bright purple hue a few shades darker than last summer’s Lavanda. It also looks purple indoors near a window; throwing the artificial light versus natural light theory out the window. When I walk outside, and the sun shines on the nail polish, or I am in the shade, Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks like a vibrant cobalt blue. Whoa, such a trip!

When I saw the cameleon nature of Sunrise Trip by Chanel, I was thrilled! My two favorite nail polish hues are purple and blue, so to have them in one nail polish is perfection! This is definitely a fun color for the spring season, imagine all the conversations it will start!

I love how Chanel always pushes the envelope with color when it comes to nail polish. Without fail, Chanel can be counted on to set the bar extremely high in nail polish fashion for any given season. Whether they are reinventing a neutral, making red happen, or creating a new color never before seen by the human eye, Chanel can do no wrong. Sunrise Trip is just another prime example of why Chanel nail polish is so fabulous, it is two colors in one, seemingly sensible creme nail polish! Love that!

I tested out Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Sunrise Trip, and one top coat (I LOVE this top coat!!), and it remained chip free! I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish throughout the spring season. It is such a fun and uplifting color!

Sunrise Trip by Chanel also happens to blend well with whichever color you are wearing. If you happen to be wearing a blue hue, it will look blue, if you are wearing a color from the purple family, it will look purple, and if you are wearing green or teal, it will look cobalt! Love it!

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish can be found online here, here and here. If you like it, get it now, because this is definitely going to be one of those Chanel nail colors that sell out quickly before the season is over.

Stay tuned, I will be reviewing two lipsticks from Chanel’s spring 2016 beauty collection next week!

Cosmetics c/o Borghese / Eye color palette: Eclissare Color Eclipse / Fango Purificante / Face Primer / Mascara / Eye Liner / Lip Gloss: Simmer / Lip Gloss: Spark / Lipstick: Grappa

 It is always fun to try new out new cosmetics. When I received a box containing an eye color palette, lip gloss, lipstick, and skin care products for a Borghese review, I was thrilled! I love the Fango clay products by Borghese, so trying out their makeup is a natural next step!

The Eclissare Color Eclipse color palette contains twelve eye shadow colors which are classic neutrals. I love the beautiful shades of brown, golden hues, and charcoal tones. It is easy to create casual eyes, daytime eyes, office appropriate eyes, and glam evening eyes with this color palette!

In addition to the Borghese Eclissare Color Eclipse eye shadow palette, I tested out Borghese’s Superiore Mascara, and Borghese’s Eclissare Color Eclipse eye liner. The mascara offers a smooth application without clumping, and the eye liner applies in a smooth straight line.

Borghese’s lip glosses offer a sheer color application with a slight sparkle, making them perfect for evening, or holiday parties. The lipstick in Grappa is a great winter wine which is easy to wear during the day or in the evening. For a glam evening look, the Simmer lip gloss applied over the Grappa lipstick makes a perfect night lip!

No-one likes clumpy or streaking makeup, therefore Borghese’s Face Primer is a must-have in every makeup bag. It offers a smooth base for foundation, or powder makeup. Love that!

Of course, the Fango face cleaner is fabulous! It is a clay cleaner which is great at gently removing air pollution, makeup, and natural oils which build up during the day.

Borghese has a large selection of cosmetics. You can find them online here, here, here, here, and here.

Nars Black Fire nail polish review

nars black fire nail polish review for winter

Pictured: Nars Black Fire nail polish from the Steven Klein beauty collection for winter.

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a an almost-black nail hue from Nars Steven Klein beauty collection. This special winter beauty collection features colors with that WOW factor. I have loved all three of the nail polish hues from this collection! Read my reviews of Night Creature and Hard to Get.

Black Fire by Nars is incredible alternative to plain black nail polish. This deep, dark color is more of a charcoal than a black. There are matte sparkles in the nail polish which add dimension. Nars Black Fire nail polish also has a very slight blue tone to it; making it an incredible, unique nail polish color. Love!

I tested out Nars Black Fire nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Black Fire, and one top coat. The polish lasted a full week; although I tend to credit this amazing top coat for the longevity of any nail polish I test out lately. The only reason I needed to repaint my nails was due to nail growth. I never received a chip in Black Fire! Love that!

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a great polish to keep in one’s nail polish wardrobe. Although a winter hue, Black Fire is a neutral color which can be worn during any season. It works with both warm and cold color palettes; acting as classic as black can be. Now that is perfection 😉

I am looking forward to wearing Narc Black Fire nail polish any time I need an edgy neutral to compliment my look.

For a holiday look, I would recommend topping off Nars Black Fire nail polish with a silver, glittery top coat such as this one.

Nars Black Fire nail polish, and the rest of the Steven Klein for Nars beauty collection, can be found online here.
