Dolce & Gabbana’s 1960’s and Sicilian influenced spring 2014 collection offered bright colors, mixed prints and bold accessories. To blend into the collection’s theme, Dolce & Gabbana’s beauty collection has been designed to match with warm hues and classic tones. “Fuchsia” from Dolce & Gabbana is a playful, orange-pink nail polish hue which works perfectly with the designing duo’s spring/summer 2014 color palette from the runway while offering a bright yet classic hue which is easy to wear on a daily basis. 

Dolce & Gabbaba “Fuchsia” nail polish is a beautiful, slightly sheer nail polish hue with tinges of pink and orange blended together. The polish offers dimension and looks bright pink outside and inside; at night, the polish appears to be a medium, soft orange. The soft sparkle sheen within the nail polish offers dimension and a playful attitude. Love that!

I tested Dolce & Gabbana’s “Fuchsia” nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish application is more sheer than a tranditional cream polish, thus leaving three of my fingers needing a third coat of polish. The end result is a beautiful, multi-dimentional color which changes from pink to orange in varying light sources. I also love how the light catches the subtle sparkles within the nail polish. As with all of Dolce & Gabbana’s nail polish colors, “Fuchsia” is long-lasting. The nail polish lasted a full seven days before one small chip appeared. The edges showed slight wear at six days. Love it!

I am looking forward to wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s “Fuchsia” nail polish as the weather warms up this season. The color will look amazing with the season’s pinks, yellows and blues. 

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Fuchsia” nail polish is priced at $24 and can be found online here or here.

Mineral Fusion has a beautiful, classic nail polish hue named “Blushing Crystal.” This pretty, sweet pink hue is a nice color for the spring season; especially since pastels are an important color palette for the season! “Blushing Crystal” by Mineral Fusion is also an easy color to wear for spring since it blends well with any color combination whether bright, neon or pastel. Love that!

I tested out Mineral Fusion’s “Blushing Crystal” with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The polish lasted eight days without chipping! I love this nail polish since it is a classic, easy color to wear plus it is long-wearing which is perfect for my busy lifestyle.

Mineral Fusion nail polish is priced at $7.99. It can be found at Whole Foods Market and online here.

Chanel Tapage nail polish for spring 2014 review

Chanel Tapage nail polish is one of two nail polish colors from Chanel for the spring 2014 season. This bright, dark coral color offers a red hue with pink undertones. Tapage by Chanel is the ultimate color for a Fashionista who is seeking a classic yet fashion-forward nail polish color for the upcoming spring 2014 season.

The spring 2014 season is all about rainbow colors; especially shades of pink, purple, blue and green! In addition to vivid hues, pastels are hot for spring and many designers are still holding onto neon hues for the upcoming warm weather season. This makes Chanel Tapage nail polish a great color for spring. The light-hearted, reddish-coral hue blends well with spring 2014’s color palette allowing you to change your color story from bright hues to pastels to neon shades without worrying about your nail polish color clashing with your apparel. Love that!

I tested Chanel Tapage out with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The polish last six days before chipping. Chanel Tapage is a cream nail polish with a high shine which gives it a little bit more dimension than your average cream nail polish. 

Chanel Tapage nail polish for spring 2014 is priced at $27 and can be found online here.
