Chanel nail polish goes classic for the Holiday 2011 season

Chanel Rouge Carat is the hot new nail color from Chanel for the Holiday 2011 season. Chanel nail polish for Holidays 2011 has gone classic and sexy with Rouge Carat which is a red hot red that has subtle pink undertones. Chanel typically creates new and exciting nail colors every season based upon the color palette of their ready-to-wear runway shows but for Holiday 2011 Chanel took an unexpected turn and went classic with a sexy red shade “Rouge Carat.”

Chanel’s fall 2011 nail polish color palette included “Peridot” which was an innovative gold and green, color changing nail polish that captured instant “IT” status among trend-setters and nail polish addicts. For the Holiday 2011 season Chanel has gone in the exact opposite direction by creating “Rouge Carat” which is a classic red nail polish with slightly sparkling pink undertones.

After several seasons of innovative colors, Chanel nail polish Rouge Carat is a classic, pinkish red that is both sexy and holiday appropriate. This classic take on nail color works perfectly with fall 2011, holiday 2011 and spring 2012 trends which include shades of purple, plum and red. As apparel trends include vintage styling such as knee-length skirts and feminine dressing, it is only natural that make-up would follow suit with a classic, pinkish red shade such as Chanel Rouge Carat.

Red is one of fall 2011’s biggest color trends and is considered a mainstay, timeless color every holiday season. Chanel Rouge Carat fits perfectly into both trends and the pinkish undertones allow Rouge Carat to work well with fall’s current purple, plum and pink color palette. The pink undertones also allow Rouge Carat to work well with shades of blue; making it an easy color to wear everyday. Love it!

If Chanel Rouge Carat is not your thing, never fear! You can still rock the classic red trend for the Holiday 2011 season with a darker shade of red or a wine color. Duri Cosmetics has an array of wine colored nail polish which offers a wide range of shades, able to suit any Fashionistas taste.

If darker colors are what you prefer and Chanel Rouge Carat is too bright for your taste, Chanel Granite from the fall 2011 collection is perfect for carrying you into the holiday season. The charcoal, sparkling color of Granite is festive and elegant; perfect for ringing in the Holidays.

Chanel Rouge Carat is limited edition and will only be around for the Holiday 2011 season. Grab yours before they disappear! Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Everyday Minerals has created a Trick or Treat mineral make-up kit for Halloween which is not only perfect for the spooky holiday, it works perfectly with this season’s plum color palette. In addition, the Trick or Treat kit offers the perfect amount of sparkle for the upcoming holiday season; love it!

The Trick or Treat kit from Everyday Minerals offers a combination of purple shades and silver. The shimmering eye shadow can easily be worn with fall 2011’s color palette as well as applied heavily for a spooky, Halloween night of fright. In addition to the color palette, Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit features black eyeliner; the hottest trend in make-up right now. Fabulous!

Everyday Minerals is an amazing beauty company which creates mineral make-up that is organic, vegan and eco-friendly; how very Bay Area and eco-chic! This could be one reason why we love them so much 

*I tested the Trick or Treat kit and it was amazing. The “Mystic Night” eye shadow, which is a pretty, shimmering plum worked perfectly with my purple, blue and black fall apparel. The mineral make-up is easy to apply lightly, for the perfect daytime look as well as applied heavier to create a fabulous, evening face. The “Weeping Willow” matte eye shadow is a slightly darker shade of purple and is really dramatic; making it perfect for Halloween or any upcoming, evening holiday events.

The “Bollywood” blush from the Trick or Treat kit is a pale, peachy shade which can be worn by light to medium skin tones. The pale nature of “Bollywood” does not compete with the “Mystic Night” eye shimmering shadow or the slightly darker, “Weeping Willow” matte eye shadow; allowing the eyes to really pop.

Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit also comes with a great white eye shadow; “Floating Feathers” which is perfect for creating spooky, ghostly eyes for Halloween, yet can easily integrate into any Fashionistas’ eye shadow wardrobe.

Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit is priced at a mere $14 and can easily be worn with fall attire right now as well as make the perfect Halloween face. To learn more, please visit everydayminerals.com
