Chanel Le Top Velvet is a new matte top coat from Chanel. I have always wanted to try out a matte top coat, but I was afraid of what it might look like. I love shiny nails, so the thought of doing my nails, and then slipping a matte top over my work, and not liking it, freaked me out a bit!

I decided if this was something I was going to try, I was going to try a matte top coat by Chanel. So I bought Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet, and gave the matte look a try!

Chanel Sunrise Trip is a dark purple nail polish, and I thought making a darker polish matte would look pretty. I am so glad I tried this on a dark nail polish! Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet did a great job making my shiny, Sunrise Trip nail polish matte, and velvety. Love it!

Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet went on smoothly, and a few seconds after application, I could watch my nails transform from super shiny, to luxurious matte. I fell in love!

I was afraid the matte top coat would be rough to the touch, but Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet is soft, and smooth; just like velvet! I love the effect, and next time, I plan to try it out over a light nail polish to see how it looks.

I tested out Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet with one base coat, and two coats of Chanel Sunrise Trip. I love how it looks, and I feel like I will wear the matte top coat over Sunrise Trip this spring instead of keeping it shiny. It looks like purple velvet on my fingertips. It’s fun and I love it!

Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet added strength to my nail polish. It lasted a full week without chipping. The only reason I changed my nail polish was because my nails started to grow; and I like to keep changing my nail polish 😉

The matte nail look is definitely a fun way to change up how my nail polish looks this spring season. I am looking forward to testing it out with different nail polish colors this spring; as well as into the summer season.

Chanel Le Top Coat Velvet is selling out fast, you can still find it online here and here.

dior bleuette nail polish for spring 2016

Pictured: Dior Bleuette nail polish for spring 2016

Dior Bleuette nail polish is part of Dior’s spring 2016 nail polish collection. It is a bright, yet light, warm sky blue, with a hint of turquoise. It is an amazing color for spring; perfect for the current color trend of light blue worn together with light rose or blush.

This is the second bottle of Dior nail polish I have tried, and I love it! The brush is flat and wide; offering an easy application process. The nail polish glides on smoothly, and streak free. Love that!

I tested Dior Bleuette nail polish for spring 2016 with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The color applied smoothly in two coats, and offered a streak-free, solid color finish. Dior Bleuette nail polish is a cream nail polish which offers a shiny finish. The nail polish lasted a full week before I needed to change it due to nail growth. I love it!

Dior Bleuette nail polish is an ideal nail color for spring 2016. With the current color trend of wearing light blue and light pink (or rose) together, Dior Bleuette offers the blue trend built right in! Just add pink apparel, a blush handbag, rose quartz jewelry, or rose colored shoes; you could even look through the world in rose colored glasses 😉 Perfect and on trend!

I am looking forward to wearing Dior Bleuette nail polish often this spring season; especially when I want to wear lighter shades of pink! It also looks amazing when paired with other shades of blue. There are several shades of blue in style this spring season; so you cannot lose the fashion game with blue for spring! Love that!

If you are into nail art, both of Dior’s spring 2016 nail polish colors can give you the perfect color combo for spring! Dior Lilac nail polish is a pinkish-lilac which plays well with Dior Bleuette nail polish. The colors together are the perfect combination of the hottest color trend for 2016; Serenity (light blue) and Rose Quartz!

Dior Lilac nail polish for spring 2016

dior lilac nail polish spring 2016

Dior Lilac nail polish is from Dior’s spring 2016 beauty collection. It is a bright lilac color which instantly grabbed my attention. I am in love!

I have never tried Dior nail polish before. I always had Dior in the back of my mind, but haven’t seen a color before which made me pull the trigger and purchase one. For spring 2016, Dior has two colors which are right on trend with the current color trends for the spring 2016 season; Lilac and Bluette (which I will review soon!). Love that!

I tested out Dior Lilac nail polish for spring 2016 with two coats of color, one base coat, and one top coat. The nail polish is long lasting, and offers beautiful color saturation! Dior Lilac nail polish is a cream polish which needs two coats for full coverage. It is not streaky, and offers a solid color once dry. The brush is a little bit thicker than I am used to using to apply nail polish, but that did not matter. The brush was easy to use, and mess free!

Dior Lilac nail polish blends well with the current shades of pink, fashion is offering for spring. While American designers favored blush, and shades of rose on their spring runways, European designers showed bright shades of pink; all of which play well with Lilac.

If you are in love with all the various shades of blue for spring 2016, Dior Lilac nail polish is the ideal contrast to a blue ensemble. After all, the biggest color trend of the season is to wear blue with a shade of pink! Although Lilac is in the purple family, Dior Lilac nail polish offers more of a pinkish hue than traditional lilac, making it great in-between color if you are not a straight pink person.

I am thrilled with Dior Lilac nail polish, and look forward to purchasing more Dior nail polish in the future. I always love it when I fall in love with a new brand!
