Gucci Black Gold nail polish review

I have been admiring Gucci’s beauty products from afar for quite some time now. When I spotted Black Gold at the Gucci beauty counter, I decided I had to try it. After all, it is an unusual color, and I love unusual nail polish colors!

Gucci Black Gold nail polish is a dark, sparkling black with heavy gold sparkles. It can also look chocolate brown at times. It has a little bit of a disco flair to it. The color is also a neutral, making it easy to wear on a daily basis. 

I tested out Gucci Black Gold nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish was strong; it last ed a full seven days! The only reason I took it off was because my nails had started to grow, and I don’t like seeing growth at the bottom of my nail-beds.

I definitely want to test out more nail polish colors from Gucci. They are fresh hues, and the polish is long lasting. Love that!

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish review

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish was originally introduced by Chanel for FNO 2011. I remember when Blue Boy first came out, along with Coco Blue and Blue Rebel. I wanted to get my hands on all three, but alas, they sold out faster than you can say “ring me up!”

When Chanel re-introduced Blue Boy for the winter 2015 season, I was thrilled! Here was my chance to snap up one of the beautiful blue nail polishes from Chanel’s FNO 2011 “Les Jeans Collection.” Chanel Blue Boy nail polish is fabulous! It is a medium denim hue which blends in with any medium-wash denim  you can place your hand next to. It is a casual blue color which offers a cool, slate-like vibe; ideal for any season of the year. Love that!

There are also so many shades of blue which are on trend for the spring 2015 season, this makes Chanel Blue Boy a great color to have in your nail polish wardrobe as move from winter into spring. 

I tested out Chanel Blue Boy nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color and no top coat. Chanel Blue Boy lasted a full seven days! Perfection 🙂

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish review

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish was originally introduced in Chanel’s spring 2009 beauty collection. For the winter 2015 season, Chanel re-introduced several nail polish colors from seasons’ past; Mica Rose being one of them.

Mica Rose by Chanel is a classic, sweet pink color which is easy to wear on a daily basis. Chanel Mica Rose nail polish is also a great color for the spring 2015 season. Pale pink has been “on trend” for the past couple of years and is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into the spring 2015 season. This makes Mica Rose by Chanel an easy way to wear the light pink trend this spring season; even though the color was re-promoted for winter. 😉

I tested out Mica Rose by Chanel with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Love that!
