MAC Moonday nail polish is a sleek, ethereal color from MAC’s summer beauty collection. This sparkling, sheer white nail polish is clean, sleek, and easy to wear everyday. Love that!

I had never tried MAC nail polish before. When I was browsing the nail polishes coming in for the summer season, Moonday by MAC instantly caught my eye. I am always weary of trying new nail polish brands; I never know if they will be chip resistant, or if the color will paint on evenly. Since the color was so captivating in the bottle, I decided it was worth trying out MAC’s summer 2016 nail polish. I am so glad I did!

MAC Moonday nail polish glided on smoothly. The color was even on the first coat; making the second coat more of a coat for color saturation purposes rather than filling in the blanks. I love how perfectly even the polish sets and dries.

The brush is just the right size. It was incredibly easy to use, and kept the mess down to a minimum. The small handle is easy to hold, making polishing a breeze. Love that!

I tested out MAC Moonday nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It is extremely chip resistant. I was able to wear the polish for a full week before needing to remove it due to nail growth. I was thrilled!

Moonday by MAC is a really easy nail polish color to wear on a daily basis. Since it is a sparkling neutral, it matches everything! It is the ideal color to wear on toes during the summer 2016 season since it will not clash with any open toe shoes or sandals. It will also enhance a tan. This is how I plan to wear it this summer. Love that!

I am really happy with MAC’s nail polish, so I am looking forward to seeing what colors they come up with next season. Have you tried MAC nail polish before? If so, what were your thoughts?

Chanel Mariniere nail polish review

chanel mariniere nail polish review

Pictured: Chanel Mariniere nail polish from Chanel’s Longwear colour collection.

Chanel Mariniere nail polish is a new, dark navy blue hue from Chanel’s Longwear nail polish collection. The new Longwear nail polish collection has replaced Chanel’s previous nail polish collection, and is “five-free” as well as long wearing, and chip-resistant. Love!

Mariniere by Chanel is a deep, dark, navy blue shade which is great to wear during the spring season; as well as the upcoming fall season. It is a classic color which can easily be worn on a daily basis, with any seasonal color palette. Of course, I love seeing navy in it’s traditional seasons which are spring, and fall.

I tested out Chanel Mariniere nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish is incredibly long-lasting; remaining chip-free for over one week. I had to change it when my nails began to grow out. I don’t like seeing nail growth with dark nail polish. I love how long this nail polish lasted; and the beautiful color saturation!

Chanel Mariniere is a cream nail polish which covers the nail easily. There wasn’t any streaking, and the polish glided on smoothly; making for an easy manicure. Love that!

Since Chanel Mariniere was introduced as part of Chanel’s new Longwear collection, it is not attached to any particular season. I see this as a classic nail polish color which can be worn for many spring, and fall seasons to come. I love having a staple in my nail polish collection I can look forward to wearing at a particular time of the year.

Have you tried Chanel’s new Longwear nail polish collection yet? If so, what did you think? This is my third bottle, and I have been extremely happy with the longevity of the polish, as well as the color selection. I am looking forward to seeing Chanel’s traditional seasonal offerings soon. I hope they add more metallics, and foils! What types of color, or polishes, would you like to see in their Longwear collection?

Dior Cosmic nail polish is a bright, orange-pink hue from Dior’s summer 2016 nail polish collection. This is definitely the bold color choice from Dior’s summer 2016 beauty collection for nails. Cosmic is bright, and bound to get your nails noticed!

It is always fun to wear a bright nail polish in the hot summer months. Summer 2016 is all about bright colors, rainbow color combinations, bright stripes, vivid patterns, and well, color! In order to complete a bright, rainbow hued ensemble, we all need bright nails to blend right in! Dior Cosmic for summer 2016 is the ideal choice for bright summer nails which will play well with summer’s rainbow bright color palette.

Designers in Milan, and Paris, are showing rainbow patterns, stripes, and color combination for the summer 2016 season. It is an upbeat, bright color combination which is sure to make the summer season lighthearted, and downright fun. Love it!

 I tested out Dior Cosmic nail polish for summer 2016 with one base coat, two coats of Cosmic, and one top coat. The nail polish was strong, and long lasting. It lasted a full week before I had nail growth and needed to re-paint my nails. Love that!

Dior Cosmic nail polish is a great color for the summer 2016 season. I am looking forward to wearing it often; especially with summer’s rainbow bright color palette! I love the slight sparkle finish which can be detected in direct sunlight, making this nail polish a cream polish with a fun, sparkly twist!

I love finding a nail polish which will work both on the street, and at the beach. This is definitely a color which will stand out in the sand, and dazzle during the summer on the street. I’m in love!
