Tom Ford nail polish is one of my favorite nail lacquers. It is long lasting, and comes in the most amazing colors. So when Tom Ford released his fall 2015 beauty collection, I had to get my hands on his fall 2015 nail polish color, Tom Ford Viper.

Tom Ford Viper nail polish appeared to be a deep, dark purple when I looked at it in the bottle. When I began applying the first coat, Viper by Tom Ford took on more of a deep, pinkish burgundy hue. A chameleon nail hue! Love that!

I applied one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. I have noticed that Tom Ford Viper nail polish looks like burgundy in artificial light. In the sunlight, it has more of a purplish-burgundy hybrid look, and under florescent lighting, it has a dark, pinkish purple look. Very cool 😉

Tom Ford nail polish is very strong. It is chip-resistant and scratch-resistant. I was able to wear Tom Ford Viper for eight days before removing it. I removed it because my nails grew and I don’t like the look of growing out nails.

I have to credit my favorite top coat for helping this nail polish last so long. You can shop it here, or read my review here.

With Marsala as the color of 2015, nail polish hues which blend well with shades of red, burgundy, and traditional autumn hues, are the ideal colors for nails. Tom Ford Viper nail polish fits this bill with it’s burgundy and purple undertones. Love that!

Tom Ford Viper nail polish will also transition well into the winter season. The winter season has the same color palette as the fall season; with the exception of the holiday season which will feature more bright red than the rest of winter. Tom Ford Viper will blend perfectly with the holiday red’s, and winter’s shades of red, neutrals, and winter whites.

chromat new york fashion week beauty look

Chromat had an amazing, modern show at New York Fashion Week (MADE Fashion  Week) for the spring/summer 2016 season. I loved the structural yet athletic vibe of the collection. The beauty look was equally athletic and modernistic; complementing the vibe of the collection.

For Chromat’s beauty look, Dominique Samuel created a sporty and dynamic using Maybelline products. The result was a modern meets athletic look which fit perfectly into her imagined “power women of the future” inspiration.

If you would like to recreate this look at home, you are in luck! Maybelline has shared Dominique Samuel’s process for creating the Chromat spring 2016 runway beauty look at home.

The following text and tips were written by Maybelline:

Dominique begins by applying Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation all over the skin followed by Face Studio Master Concealer under the eyes and along the sides of the nose and temples to reflect light, and develop the dewy effect.

Next, he defines clear angles and shapes on her face using Face Studio Master Contour at the cheek bones, outer brown, and along the nose and at the outer edges of the face, blending bronzer and contour cream with a brush. He uses highlighter along high planes of the face.

Dominique sculpts a thick brow with a subtle arch using Eye Studio Color Tatoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow in Tenacious Teal  blending and elongating the shape with a brush. He defines the lower lash line with Lip Studio Color Blur in Cherry Cherry Bang Bang and adds shine to the upper lid using Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Taupe With Me. A single coat of the The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara (launches Oct 2015) on upper lashes to complete the eye.

Dominique finishes the look by dabbing Baby Lips Balm for subtle shine.

Chanel Fraicheur limited edition nail polish

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is a limited edition nail polish color released by Chanel in early fall. This shiny, mint green nail polish hue is playful, and a fun way to transition into fall from late summer.

The shiny mint green color of Chanel Fraicheur blends well with fall 2015’s neutral color palette; as well as autumn’s deep green hues. The pretty color brightens up dark or drab fall attire. Love that!

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is also a playful color for the last few days of summer this year. It works perfectly with bright summer attire, and offers a contrast to the dark nail polish hues, and blue nail polish shades, which are so “of the moment.”

I tested out Chanel Fraicheur nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted eight days before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. Love that!

My top coat deserves some credit for the chip-free test run of Chanel Fraicheur nail polish. It really was the star of the show! My review of this fabulous top coat is online here.

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is limited edition. It is a great color to wear now, and again, when resort 2016 hits in late December, early January. This beautiful mint green hue will also brighten up a dreary winter day in December, January, or February!

For resort 2016, many designers are showing vivid colors, pastel hues, and muted tones. One of the more popular colors being shown for resort 2016 is mint green. Chanel has also included mint green in the resort 2016 color palette. This makes Chanel Fraicheur nail polish a fabulous color to invest in right now.

Chanel Fraicheur can be found online here.

I rate Chanel Fraicheur five out of five stars! Love!
