Chanel Desirio nail polish spring 2015

Chanel Desirio nail polish is a bright fuchsia hue from Chanel spring 2015 beauty collection. This bright fuchsia is on the dark side and can be a substitute for red this spring season. Chanel Desirio is also a good nail polish to wear with this season’s bright colors. Love it!

For spring 2015, designers are showing pastels, muted colors, true colors and brights. When it comes to color tone, there are no rules for spring! This means you can choose a color tone you love and stick with it for the season. If you love bright colors, true colors and muted hues, Chanel Desirio nail polish will work well with all of those color tones. It is also a great alternative for red this spring 2015 season if you prefer to keep your nails classic; but are tired of red after the holiday season.

I tested Chanel Desirio nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish lasted for five days before chipping. I really enjoy wearing this color. It worked well with my current, winter wardrobe; and I can tell it will work well with my upcoming spring wardrobe. It is an easy color to wear and looks great day or night. Love that!

Chanel Desirio nail polish is also a good nail color for wearing from spring into summer. If you want one nail polish color to stay with through both seasons, this is the color to reach for. It’s bright nature will easily carry you through spring 2015’s color palette’s into summer 2015’s color wheel.

Opi Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant

I recently ran a loop giveaway on Instagram where I asked participants which brand of nail polish was their favorite. The overwhelming response was OPI! I was intrigued since I had never actually tried OPI. So I decided to check out OPI and see why it seems to be the overwhelming favorite!

I have always wanted to test out a glittering top coat. Since I purchased a few bottles of OPI before the New Year, OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant seemed timely and appropriate for the occasion. I was right! OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant was a sparkling and festive top coat nail polish. I loved how it looked over the light metallic hue of Chanel Paradisio. It seemed to be the perfect, and “So Elegant” contrast that the sparkling top coat needed to shine.

It was fun wearing OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant for about one week and I was thrilled that it did not chip at all! Alas, after the New Year, it was time to change to a more subdue color so I took off OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant. This nail polish was so strong, that it took four cotton squares and  a LOT of nail polish remover to take it off my nails. I give OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant props for being chip-free, strong and long lasting, my only complaint was that it was a lot of work to remove it. In OPI’s defense, this may have been due to the fact that it is difficult to get nail polish remover around and under the big chunks of glitter found in OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant. 

I am looking forward to using OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant again whenever I need festive nails for an event or party. It should be fun to layer over pastels and brighter colors as the year heads into summer.

OPI Glitter Nail Lacquer in So Elegant is part of OPI’s “Sheer to the Top!” top coat collection which can be found exclusively online here. I am looking forward to testing out the regular top coat in the collection as well as the matte top coat.

Chanel Tenderly is a fabulous, cool purple hue from Chanel’s spring 2015 beauty collection “Reverie Parisienne.” This pretty color is on the darker side of the lavender family making it a great nail polish for transitioning from winter into spring. Love that!

With all the shades of blue in the spring 2015 color palette, a purple hue is an ideal nail polish color to contrast with, yet play well with, the spring seasons’ color palette. Personally, I love blue and purple together!

I tested out Chanel Tenderly nail polish for spring 2015 with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The color was long lasting and did not chip until day seven! Love that! Chanel Tenderly nail polish offers a high shine finish which applies like a cream nail polish. It does not look streaky or allow any gaps after the second coat. Perfection.

It will be difficult for me to choose between painting my nails with Tenderly or Paradisio this spring season. I love them both so much!
