Laura Mercier En Pointe nail polish review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged classic style / laura mercier / pink / reviews / spring 2013 by

Pastels are huge for spring 2013 and one of the easy ways to wear this color trend is through nail polish! Laura Mercier’s new, spring 2013 collection, “Arabesque” has a fabulous, extra soft baby pink nail polish named “En Pointe.” This sweet hue is perfect for spring 2013 since it is subtle and understated; ideal for a nail polish shade which will not compete with spring’s vibrant prints, florals and color palette.

There are so many color palettes in apparel for the spring 2013 season. In addition to the pastel color palette, which happens to be the most important color group this spring season, bright colors and even neon hues are at the forefront of fashion for spring 2013. In order to wear pastels one day, and then bright colors the next, it is important to have an understated nail color which will blend easily with all of the season’s colors and prints.

Soft, baby pink is a cheerful alternative to a nude nail and the subtle hue is easy to wear with almost any skin tone. Of course, Laura Mercier’s nail polish is also high quality. The polish does not streak and lasts a full week with one base coat and two coats of color. We did not apply a top coat for our test.

Laura Mercier’s “En Pointe” nail polish for spring 2013 is available now and can be found at Laura Mercier counters, at LauraMercier.com and at Sephora.com. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Chanel Sky Line nail polish review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged blue / chanel / chanel nail polish by

Chanel released a special collection late last summer which included a beautiful, baby blue nail polish hue named “Sky Line.” This beautiful pale yet vibrant shade of blue was lost during August when the fall 2012 colors began to hit store shelves and Fashionistas everywhere flocked towards shades of burgundy, berry, brown, red, purple and dark pink. But now, as we move towards resort 2013 and spring 2013, and pastels are an important color group for the current, winter 2013 season, this beautiful blue nail polish seems like the perfect polish for our fingertips.

Chanel Sky Line nail polish is named appropriately as the blue hue is almost the same shade of blue as a clear sky. The nail polish itself has a slightly dimensional nature which makes it stand out from a regular, baby blue nail polish color.

Light blue nail polish works perfectly with all of winter 2013’spastel hues and also makes an interesting contrast when paired with resort 2013’s neon colors. With Emerald green being the color of 2013, and every shade of blue being hot for spring 2013, Sky Line by Chanel is the perfect transitional nail polish color to wear now, before we are mesmerized by Chanel’s spring 2013 nail polish line. 

Sky Line by Chanel applies perfectly in two coats and is chip resistant. This limited edition nail polish color can be found in Chanel Boutiques and also on Chanel’s website at chanel.com.
