Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a bright red, classic cream lipstick. In the tube, Dolce & Gabbana Dora appears to be an orange-red hue. When I applied it, the color seemed slightly more pinkish than orangish; as it had looked out of the box.

I am not sure if it became a pink-red due to my natural lip color, or if that is how Dolce & Gabbana Dora is meant to perform. Nevertheless, orange-red lipsticks scare me, so to see it take on a pink-red format after application was a breath of relief! I just don’t do orange.

Dolce & Gabbana’s collection of classic cream lipsticks are a must-have in anyone’s make-up wardrobe. They are mousturzing, long-lasting, offer a smooth application, and provide fabulous color saturation. Normally they look the same in the tube, and on the lips; Dora is an anomaly for me. An anomaly in a good way! I love pink-red’s!

Now that the holiday season is in full swing, Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a fabulous classic cream lipstick to have on hand. It is a festive, bright hue, which adds a little bit of “party” to any ensemble; casual or dressy. This is also a great alternative to classic, fire engine red lipstick hues.

Dora by Dolce & Gabbana is a great red lipstick to keep on hand throughout the year; it is not just a holiday color. It will work well with any color palette; and is the perfect way to brighten your face when wearing classic black. Classic red lipstick + classic black = perfection 😉

If you have not tried Dolce & Gabbana classic cream lipstick, Dora is a great color to get as your first tube. This is an easy red to wear, and it isn’t too bright; like most classic red lipsticks. Love that!

Nars Hard To Get nail polish from the Steven Klein beauty collection for Nars

Nars Hard To Get nail polish is a fabulous, deep, dark chocolate brown nail hue which is downright fabulous! This naturally neutral tone offers a cool brown color which is three dimensional with a very slight, shimmering finish. Love!

This fabulous neutral brown is unlike other brown nail polish colors on the market. While brown tends to be a warm color, Nars Hard To Get nail polish is a cool brown; giving it an unique look. This is the perfect cool brown to add to your nail polish wardrobe! Since it is a cool color, it looks amazing with silver, and white gold, jewelry!

I tested out Nars Hard To Get nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before I needed to change it due to nail growth. Love that!

Nars Hard To Get nail polish is an easy color to wear on a daily basis. It blends well with the winter color palette; as well as the holiday color palette. Since Nars Hard To Get is a neutral nail color, it will also glide easily into the resort season.

If you are not familiar with Nars nail polish, it is a high quality polish which is highly ship resistant. I love the applicator brush which does not clump, and is the perfect width. Nars nail polish always glides on easily, and streak free!

Chanel Troublante nail polish for winter

Chanel Troublante nail polish is a remarkable nail color for the winter season. This color changing nail polish appears to be a metallic burgundy from some angles, and in other angles it turns into a dark gold. At some moments, all nails appear gold or burgundy, then a second later each nail takes on it’s own color. Love that!

Chanel is always on the cutting edge of color when it comes to nail polish. With Chanel Troublante nail polish, the iconic design house has outdone themselves. Troublante is setting a new standard for metallic nail polish; I am in love!

I love how Chanel Troublante nail polish offers a holiday look for the winter months. The gold and burgundy color changing properties make for a festive hue! This polish will look amazing this season,  not only with winter apparel, but with holiday attire too!

I tested out Chanel Troublante nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week until my nails started growing and I needed to change the color; the longevity is due mainly to this fabulous top coat.

If you want to spice up Chanel Troublante nail polish with a bit of glitz, Chanel Le Top Coat Lame  Rouge is a great way to add some golden glimmer to this polish. The small golden specks will add festive sparkle to this party-ready nail polish hue. Read my review of Chanel Le Top Coat Lame Rouge here.

I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Troublante nail polish this holiday season, and during the winter months too! It is such an unique shade. This makes it a great way to brighten up a dreamy winter day! Love that!
