YSL Asphalt Grey nail polish spring 2017 review

ysl asphalt grey nail polish spring 2017 review yves saint laurent

Nail polish for spring 2017 is quite different than in previous spring seasons. We are seeing a large number of grey nail polishes, pale pinks, whites, and neons for the warm weather season. While there are many shades of grey out there in the nail polish marketplace, none quite compare to the medium-dark grey hue created by YSL for the spring 2017 season.

YSL Asphalt Grey nail polish is in the perfect place on the grey color wheel. It is not too dark, nor is it too light. It is just right.

This is the first time I have purchased nail polish by YSL. I have used a few of their cosmetics before, but never before have I tried Yves Saint Laurent nail colour. The nail polish went on smoothly, and the brush was a good, manageable size to work with. With two coats, YSL nail polish not streaky; and left a solid, smooth color on my nails. Love!

I tested out YSL Asphalt Grey nail polish for spring 2017 with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The polish last six days before chipping. This is a decent length of time considering I was not wearing a top coat.

YSL Grey Asphalt is a great nail colour for the spring 2017 season. It is a neutral hue; making it easy to wear with any of the seasons color palettes, plus, there is something fresh about the color grey. I know, grey? fresh? Yup. It feels fresh and right this season. Who knew?

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy in Prune Frappee review

As you know, beige, golden tones, and vampy colors are all the rage in lipstick for the spring 2017 season. While I enjoy wearing these colors, sometimes I want the purple look from the vampy trend, in a not-so-vampy- hue.

When I spotted YSL’s Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick in Prune Frappee, I knew it was the perfect color for days when I want to wear purple lipstick without being vampy.

This is the first time I have purchased YSL’s sheer lipstick. Several of my friends love it, so I thought I would give it a try. I am really happy with my purchase. YSL’s Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick glides on smoothly leaving even, sheer color on my lips. The formula is moisturizing, which is key for lipstick. Nothing is more annoying than lipstick which dries out my lips!

While I tend to shop Chanel’s sheer listick colors first, since they are always on trend, I have fallen in love with YSL’s sheer lipstick. I am looking forward to seeing the new colors they come out with each season. In addition, I feel like YSL has a nice collection of colors which are classic and ideal for supplementing my seasonal collection.

You can find Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick online here. My color is 8 Plum Frappee, or Iced Plum.
