Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish from the summer 2014 beauty collection “Summer Glow.” “Gaia” by Dolce & Gabbana is a beautiful amber green nail polish which sparkles in the sun: as you can see in the above photo. This medium green hue with amber undertones plays well with both gold and silver jewelry, as well as summer 2014’s color palette.

Green also happens to be one of fall 2014’s most important colors. Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish is the perfect way to incorporate green into your summer wardrobe now and as you begin to transition into the fall when late summer arrives. Transitions into fall =  love!

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish lasted for nine days without chipping! I even wore it on a vacation to Pine Mountain Lake where I was boating and swimming; and the nail polish stayed on perfectly! Love that!

Dolce & Gabbana “Gaia” nail polish is limited edition and part of the summer 2014 beauty collection, “Summer Glow.” It can be found online here and here.

Chanel “Orage” nail polish is a black nail polish hue from Chanel’s fall 2014 beauty collection. The nail polish shade is dark, vampish and an edgy way to be neutral for the upcoming cool weather season. With fall 2014’s dark autumn hues and contrasting bright colors, a black nail polish is the perfect way to have a neutral nail polish color which is easy to wear on a daily basis; especially if fall 2014’s nude nail trend is not your style.

I tested out Chanel “Orage” nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted seven days; which is really good for a dark nail polish without a top coat!

Laura Mercier has a beautiful color palette for the summer 2014 season. Of this palette, “Strawberry Sorbet” from the creme smooth lip colour collection stands out as a fabulous pinkish-red hue for the summer season. 

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a beautiful pinkish-red lip color which plays well with any color palette. It is the perfect alternative to classic red as it is a slightly softer color with a pink undertone; which is just as neutral as traditional red without being as bold. Love that!

I am already a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour. The lipstick collection is long lasting and moisturizes the lips; which is ideal for everyday wear. Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour does not bleed onto the skin surrounding the lips and it does not smudge; a common problem with many creme lipsticks on the market.

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a great color for brightening up one’s face when paired with apparel in neutral hues, black or white. I love how it keeps my face from looking washed out in the photo above; which can easily happen when wearing white, or being photographed in white!

I am definitely keeping Laura Mercier’s “Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour in my handbag so that I can reach for it on a regular basis.
