Chanel Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir nail polish is a golden, sparkling top coat from Chanel’s Holiday 2015 beauty collection, Vamp Attitude. The Holiday 2015 beauty collection, Vamp Attitude, includes Vamp, Rose Fusion, and Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir.

Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir nail polish by Chanel is a clear, deep red nail polish with golden flecks. The clear coat offers a deep red tinge which compliments Vamp when applied as a top coat. The golden sparkles lay flat, so they offer a smooth top coat; unlike many sparkling top coats which leave a rough surface.

I tested out Chanel Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir nail polish with one  base coat, two coats of Vamp, and one coat of Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir. The nail polish is strong, and takes the place of a regular top coat. My nails lasted a full week! I changed the color due to nail growth, not chipping. Love that!

Chanel Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir nail polish will be a festive addition to any dark nail polish color this holiday season. Although it looks fabulous on Vamp, I want to try it on a black polish, dark purple polish, and over a silver polish. I think the results will be fabulous! I will be posting swatches later this month, so stay tuned!

The Vamp Attitude beauty collection for the holiday 2015 season by Chanel is nothing short of fabulous. I love all three polishes! Rose Fusion is an edgy yet classic neutral which can be worn during any season. Vamp is, of course, a legendary classic nail polish hue, and Chanel Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir is a fabulous holiday top coat which can be used every holiday season; or anytime during the year you want to be playful, and sparkle!

I highly recommend all three nail polishes for your collection. I am thrilled with all three! Chanel Vamp was already in my collection from last year, so adding Rose Fusion and Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir was easy. I love these colors!!!

Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish holidays 2015 review

Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish is a fabulous new color from Chanel’s holiday 2015 beauty collection, Vamp Attitude. The “Vamp Attitude” collection features three nail polish hues for the holiday 2015 season; Rose Fusion, Vamp, and Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir Gold Sparkle. (Look for my review next week!)

Rose Fusion is a beautiful cool, dark beige hue with sparkling undertones. The sparkles appear tonal in daylight, and natural light. In artificial light, the sparkles in Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish catch the light in a rainbow of colors. It is quite remarkable. I wish I was able to catch it in a photograph!

I am in love with Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish for the holiday 2015 season. It is a fabulous alternative to red, and it is a neutral, which makes it easy to wear with any color palette. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish was extremely sturdy and took eight days to chip! I have to give a lot of credit to this fabulous top coat. My review can be found here.

After several seasons of bright colors, and dark, vampy tones, Rose Fusion is a nice break from the recently popular nail polish tones. Although it is a neutral hue, it is not your average, basic neutral. The beige has an edgy look due to it’s cold undertones, and sparkles! Who doesn’t love sparkles?

I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Rose Fusion nail polish for the holiday 2015 season, and beyond! It is a great addition to any nail polish wardrobe; and can easily be worn throughout the year. Seasonless nail polish is always a winner!

Dolce & Gabbana spring 2016 runway beauty look

On September 27, 2015 Dolce & Gabbana sent their spring/summer 2016 collection down the Milan Fashion Week runway. The collection was stunning; a tribute to Italy. In order to complete the Italian Love theme of the collection, a make-up look was designed for the runway which complimented the collection as a whole. The beauty look highlighted luminous skin with a flawless, dewy finish, featured soft and smoky feline eyes, and plump lips showcasing the full range of new Dolce & Gabbana “Dolce Matte Rosa” Lipsticks. Nails were done in a feminine, romantic shade which completes the look

Dolce & Gabbana has been kind enough to provide us with the tips for achieving this fabulous runway beauty look at home! The below text was written and provided by Dolce & Gabbana.

Dolce&Gabbana Essential UV Cream was first applied to hydrate the skin, followed by the Sheer Radiance Primer to build the perfect canvas for make-up application. A flawless complexion was achieved using the Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation blended outward, from the center of the face out towards the ears. The Perfect Luminous Concealer was applied to the shadowed areas of the face and dabbed under the eyes, hiding blemishes and creating an impeccable base with an even skin tone. The cheeks displayed a warm, romantic flush by being delicately contoured with the new Blush in Bacio 50, which was swept onto the apples of the cheeks and up towards the ears. The face was highlighted using The Illuminator in Eva 3 along the cheekbones and on the bridge of the nose, while the skin was set with a light dusting of The Pressed Powder across the nose and forehead.

The romantic, soft feline eye look was achieved with a base of Perfect Mono Eyeshadow in Nude 30 blended across the eyelids. The two complementary shades of brown from The Eyeshadow Quad in Smoky 105 were mixed together and applied with a blending blush along the crease of the eyelids to create depth. For added definition, The Illuminator in Luna 4 was applied to the inner corner of the eyes and below the eyebrows. The upper lash lines were amplified by applying The Eyeliner in Chocolate 10 in an upward flick, and a line of the Glam Liner in Earthy Brown 2 was drawn along the upper lash line, to add an intense yet feminine feline finish. On the curled top lashes, layers of the Volumized Mascara in Black 1 were applied, paying special attention to the outer corners for definition and a lengthening finish.

The brows were sculpted with The Brow Liner in Soft Brown 1 and Mocha 3, using the wide part of the pencil nib with light, feathery strokes to fill the color outwards to the end of the brow, achieving a natural youthfulness to the face.

For beautiful, rosy plump lips, from the new collection of Dolce Matte Lipstick, a mixture of shades were combined to create perfectly tailored spring looks using Dolce Nudo 124, Miss Dolce 134, Dolce Dolcezza 212, Dolce Rosa 222, Dolce Sogno 223, Dolce Mamma 229, Dolce Excelsa 512 andDolce Bacio 641. To give lips definition and to keep the lipstick in place, the lips were lined with The Lipliner in Mamma 17, Rosa 16, Dolcezza 15, Bacio 18 and Soft 6. Nails painted with The Nail Lacquer in Bella 210 evoke elegance and finish this soft and feminine Spring/Summer 2016 look.

There you have it! The beauty look straight from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2016 runway.
