Etxeberria showed his fall/winter 2015/2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 15, 2015 in The Pavilion at Lincoln Center. The men’s and women’s collection pushed the boundaries of traditional suiting, outerwear, and apparel. Pants were shorts, silhouettes thin or boxy, and the color palette was dark with pops of red.

Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015 review

tom ford black jade nail polish review spring 2015

Pictured: Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015. Picture taken during golden hour. Shown with one base coat, three coats of color, no top coat.

Nail polish for spring 2015 has a dark side; and it is Tom Ford’s Black Jade nail polish hue. This deep, dark, sparkling forest green will trick you into thinking it is a fall color. Yet, when set against spring colors for 2015, Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish compliments the spring 2015 color palette by adding an unexpected feeling to any ensemble. Love that!

This was my first Tom Ford nail polish purchase. I have one lipstick by him, which I love, so I decided I should test out Tom Ford’s nail polish. I love it! The application brush was easy to use and the nail polish went on smooth. The dark nature of Black Jade soon made me realize the nail polish needed three coats for full coverage. With three coats, Tom Ford Black Jade offers streak-free coverage and a slight sparkle underneath the deep, dark color of the polish. It is definitely fabulous.

I tested out Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. I did receive one chip within twenty four hours, but the chip was small; although surprising. I continued to wear the nail polish and it did not receive any additional chips for seven days. I had to take it off when my nail growth was starting to show on my nail beds.

Tom Ford has a large selection of colors, and for spring 2015, he also has a beautiful blue hue named Indigo Night. I am looking forward to trying out more Tom Ford nail polish colors in the future. For spring 2015, I am thrilled with Black Jade!
