Chanel Terrana is a beautiful, sparkling brown nail polish hue from Chanel’s summer 2015 nail polish collection. Terrana by Chanel is the most neutral hue of the four summer nail polish colors Chanel created for the hot weather season.

Chanel Terrana offer a warm, milky chocolate brown color with sparkles which works perfectly with the seasons’s spicy summer color palette. For summer 2015, we are seeing a lot of neutrals, browns, oranges, and “spice” hues which look amazing with brown nail polish. Chanel Terrana nail polish is ideal to wear as a neutral shade this summer since it will look perfect with a summer wardrobe; and it is neutral. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Terrana nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. I know if I used a top coat, it would have lasted longer than six days. 

The sparkles in Chanel Terrana catch the light when you are outside giving off a dazzling, gemstone-like essence. The light chocolate hue is not too dark, so this shade of brown does not give off a “fall season” vibe; just a summer vibe! Perfection 😉

Chanel Terrana is also a great nail polish hue to add to ones’ nail polish wardrobe. It is a classic, neutral hue which can easily be worn throughout the year. It does not scream “2015” and can transcend seasonal color trends. Love that!

Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015 review

Nail polish for spring 2015 has a dark side; and it is Tom Ford’s Black Jade nail polish hue. This deep, dark, sparkling forest green will trick you into thinking it is a fall color. Yet, when set against spring colors for 2015, Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish compliments the spring 2015 color palette by adding an unexpected feeling to any ensemble. Love that!

This was my first Tom Ford nail polish purchase. I have one lipstick by him, which I love, so I decided I should test out Tom Ford’s nail polish. I love it! The application brush was easy to use and the nail polish went on smooth. The dark nature of Black Jade soon made me realize the nail polish needed three coats for full coverage. With three coats, Tom Ford Black Jade offers streak-free coverage and a slight sparkle underneath the deep, dark color of the polish. It is definitely fabulous.

I tested out Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. I did receive one chip within twenty four hours, but the chip was small; although surprising. I continued to wear the nail polish and it did not receive any additional chips for seven days. I had to take it off when my nail growth was starting to show on my nail beds.

Tom Ford has a large selection of colors, and for spring 2015, he also has a beautiful blue hue named Indigo Night. I am looking forward to trying out more Tom Ford nail polish colors in the future. For spring 2015, I am thrilled with Black Jade!

Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish review

Last winter, Chanel repromoted four nail polish colors which had been huge hits in previous seasons. Chanel’s sweet peachy nail polish color, Peche Nagree, from Spring 2011, was one of the four hues repromoted and it is ideal for the spring season.

Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish is a soft peachy hue which is classic and easy to wear daily. If you are looking for a timeless nail polish shade, this is it! Peche Nagree has a pale orange and pink blend which offers color on the nails; without competing with jewelry or apparel. It fades into the background; an ideal color for wearing prints and mixing bright hues this spring season.

I tested out Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted a bit longer than most Chanel nail polishes; it lasted eight days! Love that!
