Laura Mercier’s hot new nail polish, Lavender Cloud, will arrive on store shelves on May 1, 2012 and the hot hue is sure to have nail polish enthusiasts running for the Laura Mercier beauty counter! Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a limited edition nail polish color which is part of the new, limited edition summer collection, “Belle Nouveau Collection.”

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a vibrant shade of lavender which offers opaque nail coverage without streaking. The overall finish offers beautiful color saturation, and without a top coat, leaves a shiny, luxurious look on nails.

Laura Mercier’s Lavender Cloud is the perfect shade of lavender. The color saturation and vibrancy of the hue allows the nail polish to blend well with both bright colors and pastels; which is important for nail polish! This allows a Fashionista to wear her favorite Paris pastels one day, and then wear bright, New York runway hues the next without having to worry about her nail polish clashing with her ensemble. Love that!

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier will be available starting on May 1, 2012 and will remain on store shelves until June 30, 2012 or until supplies last. Lavender Cloud is priced at $18 and can be found at Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and select Belk, Blue Mercury, Lord & Taylor and Macy’s stores. Of course, Lavender Cloud will also be available online at Laura Mercier’s website lauramercier.com

Dolce & Gabbana is launching a new and cheery make-up collection for the spring and summer months; the Bouquet Collection. This beautiful collection includes eye-popping and fabulous C-O-L-O-R!

For the past several years Fashionistas everywhere have been keeping their make-up neutral with the occasional pop of blue or green shadow. For the spring and summer season Dolce & Gabbana is challenging everyone and asking us to shatter neutrality and get colorful for the warm weather. Love this!

This exciting collection of floral inspired colors expresses the exuberance and Mediterranean passion of Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2012 collection. This beautiful and cheery collection, which evokes the uplifting feeling of a trip to Southern Italy, launches in April 2012 at Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide.

Here at Bay Area Fashionista we are coveting the green and blue nail polishes as well as the purple, blue, and green eye make-up. Hello colorful faces!

Chanel Frenzy for fall 2012: the IT polish from the Paris runway

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged chanel / chanel nail polish / fall 2012 by

Chanel Frenzy is new “IT” nail polish spotted on the Paris Fashion Week runway for fall/winter 2012/2013. This lavender-meets-taupe-meets-grey nail polish color is similar to nude and neutral nail polish hues spotted in New York and Milan. This shows that dark, vampy nails are now a thing of the past as nudes and soft neutrals move into the forefront of nail polish stardom for the fall 2012 season.

Although the current “IT nail polish Chanel Attraction, from the iconic Paris design houses’ spring 2012 runway is a metallic white, the majority of nail colors at the forefront of nail trends for the spring season include bright corals, reds and pinks. The move for fall towards neutrals and nude polish marks a new turn in nail trends for the end of 2012 and moving into 2013.

Chanel Frenzy is cool version of nude as the shade has grey undertones and compliments cold colors such as blue, grey and black. The nude colors shown in Milan and New York offered warm undertones, making them the perfect color for autumn’s brown, mustard and orange hues. Every season Chanel’s runway nail polish hue sells out within a couple of weeks after being released to store shelves. If Chanel Frenzy is already sending you into a “Frenzy,” run, don’t walk to the store when this runway hue is released to Chanel counters everywhere. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
