Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2022

“Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the staircase.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Every year, I love sharing an inspirational quote from Martin Luther King Jr. with you. I love reading through his many inspirational quotes and finding one which resonates with me at the time. This quote seems fitting for 2022 as we have all been through a lot in the past two years. I feel like it motivates us all to work hard, and keep going, because something good is going to come out of everything. You can apply this quote to your life, and your struggles, and I am sure it will inspire and resonate with you. We are so fortunate to have a civil rights leader in our history books who can withstand the test of time and continue to inspire us from heaven.

Chanel nail polish spring 2022 review

I’m in love with the new Chanel nail polish spring 2022 collection! Although it only has two colors, the spring 2022 nail polish collection from Chanel offers an avant-garde yet traditional spring hue, as well as an earthy neutral for the warm weather season. There is a color for everyone in this small yet perfect collection! Love!

The spring 2022 season is bright, light, and cheerful. Designers are playing with lighter neutrals, pastels, and bright hues for the spring season, when it comes to our apparel. This is a fabulous season to choose your favorite color palette and play with it when building your spring wardrobe; or you can indulge in all the colors! 2022 is our year. We are going to have fun! So, let’s start with our nails, shall we?

Chanel has given us a pale pastel, and a vivid neutral for the spring 2022 season. They are both colors to have in our spring nail polish wardrobe. I tested both Chanel Riviera and Chanel Terra Rossa out with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are both chip resistant, cream polishes which glide on smooth and offer pretty, saturated color. Love! So, without further ado, here are the two nail polish colors from Chanel for the spring 2022 season!

Chanel nail polish spring 2022 | Chanel Riviera

Chanel Riviera nail polish is a soft, pale yellow hue which offers traditional spring vibes. Of course, we normally think of pale yellow on clothing, and sometimes shoe or handbags; not our nails. This spring Chanel is putting this sweet, springy hue on our nails, and I am in love! This is the fresh and new color we have all been waiting for. I plan to rock this color during the season as much as possible. Love!

Although I used two coats of color for these photos, this polish can easily streak if the coats are not carefully applied. Be prepared to touch up your mani if one of your coats was too thin.

Chanel nail polish spring 2022 | Chanel Terra Rossa

If traditional nail colors are more your speed, Chanel Terra Rossa is a combination of terra cotta and rose. It’s a neutral hue you can wear to the office and pair with any color palette this spring season. If you prefer a neutral color for your nails, this is the one! Terra Rossa is also a great color to wear now as we transition from winter into spring. Since it is a little darker than Riviera, you can pair it with your winter wardrobe, and it will blend in well. This is the color I am wearing now, as I type this post since it is still very much winter here!
