Christian Louboutin introduced a set of three nail polish mini’s for the spring 2015 season named “Python Vulcano.” The limited edition nail polish coffret offers mini nail polish bottles in yellow, “Hot Chick,” blue “True Blue,” and cream “Salonu.” All three colors are right on trend for the spring 2015 season, and reflect colors from Christian Louboutin’s current shoe collection. Love that!

I was excited to receive the coffret and discover the three mini nail polish bottles inside the box. It is definitely a fabulous way to present, and store, nail polish! I also love the mini size of the nail polish bottles. As someone who never finishes a nail polish bottle, I love the idea of a smaller bottle.

I decided to test out “Hot Chick” first. It is a beautiful, yellow cream nail polish which is not too bright, or too soft; it is just right! I used one base coat and two coats of color. Christian Louboutin Hot Chick nail polish lasted five days before chipping. As with any cream nail polish, it needs to be thickly applied. If you use thin coats, you will need three coats of color to avoid looking streaky. 

One test I have with nail polish is if perfect strangers compliment me when I am out in public. Hot Chick by Christian Louboutin received multiple compliments from strangers when I was at the gym, and out running errands. Love that!

I am looking forward to testing out the other two colors from Chrisitan Louboutin’s Python Volcano nail polish coffret for spring 2015. Stay tuned for my reviews!

Gucci nail polish is a new favorite of mine. After testing out Black Gold, I decided to try Iconic Ottanio by Gucci. This fabulous dark teal hue offers shimmer and shine; like no other teal I have ever tried. This is a fabulous, unique nail polish color.

Iconic Ottanio nail polish by Gucci looks amazing with all shades of blue, green, purple and pink; as well as all neutrals-of course! It is a beautiful color to wear right now and in early spring. I also feel like Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish would be fabulous to wear in the fall season. 

I tested out Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted seven days without chipping! Love that! I am looking forward to wearing Gucci Iconic Ottanio nail polish throughout the year. It is an eye-catching hue which I found random strangers comment on while I am out and about. That is amazing!

Dolce & Gabbana Pearl Shimmer nail polish for spring 2015 is a beautiful, vibrant shade of silver. The color offers high saturation while providing a neutral backdrop for any spring wardrobe. Love that!

Metallics are a huge trend in nails for the spring 2015 season, so Dolce & Gabbana’s Pearl Shimmer nail polish is an ideal nail polish for the upcoming warm weather months. Like other nail polish by Dolce & Gabbana, it was long-lasting, and remained chip-free for eight days! Love that!
