Chanel Sky Line nail polish review

Chanel released a special collection late last summer which included a beautiful, baby blue nail polish hue named “Sky Line.” This beautiful pale yet vibrant shade of blue was lost during August when the fall 2012 colors began to hit store shelves and Fashionistas everywhere flocked towards shades of burgundy, berry, brown, red, purple and dark pink. But now, as we move towards resort 2013 and spring 2013, and pastels are an important color group for the current, winter 2013 season, this beautiful blue nail polish seems like the perfect polish for our fingertips.

Chanel Sky Line nail polish is named appropriately as the blue hue is almost the same shade of blue as a clear sky. The nail polish itself has a slightly dimensional nature which makes it stand out from a regular, baby blue nail polish color.

Light blue nail polish works perfectly with all of winter 2013’spastel hues and also makes an interesting contrast when paired with resort 2013’s neon colors. With Emerald green being the color of 2013, and every shade of blue being hot for spring 2013, Sky Line by Chanel is the perfect transitional nail polish color to wear now, before we are mesmerized by Chanel’s spring 2013 nail polish line. 

Sky Line by Chanel applies perfectly in two coats and is chip resistant. This limited edition nail polish color can be found in Chanel Boutiques and also on Chanel’s website at chanel.com.

Laura Mercier Moderne Red nail polish review

Laura Mercier’s new “Moderne Red” from the holiday 2012 collection is the ultimate cherry on top of any look this holiday season. This cherry-red color is a classic holiday hue and works perfectly with all of the glittering holiday looks this season. Love that!

Red is already a hot shade for the fall/winter 2012/2013 season, making “Moderne Red” by Laura Mercier the perfect cherry red for 2012 holiday season. Classic + on-trend = fabulous!

To achieve the exact color on nails found inside the “Moderne Red” by Laura Mercier bottle, the nail polish needs two coats. We applied one base coat plus two coats of color and the polish lasted one week; the only reason it was time to re-polish was because my nails grew! As with all of Laura Mercier’s nail polish colors, “Moderne Red” is highly chip resistant and retains its color and shine throughout the week.

“Moderne Red” by Laura Mercier is perfect for the holiday 2012 season as well as being a staple in ones’ nail polish collection. The shade is classic and easy to wear; adding timeless appeal to anyone’s’ nail polish wardrobe. Love that!

Laura Mercier nail polish, including “Moderne Red,” can be found online at LauraMercier.com orSephora.com. Happy shopping, happy holidays and stay fabulous
