Chanel Mica Rose nail polish review

Chanel mica rose nail polish

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish was originally introduced in Chanel’s spring 2009 beauty collection. For the winter 2015 season, Chanel re-introduced several nail polish colors from seasons’ past; Mica Rose being one of them.

Mica Rose by Chanel is a classic, sweet pink color which is easy to wear on a daily basis. Chanel Mica Rose nail polish is also a great color for the spring 2015 season. Pale pink has been “on trend” for the past couple of years and is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into the spring 2015 season. This makes Mica Rose by Chanel an easy way to wear the light pink trend this spring season; even though the color was re-promoted for winter. 😉

I tested out Mica Rose by Chanel with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Love that!

I had my eyes on this pink coat since it first came out last fall. At the time, it was hard for me to justify purchasing a bright pink coat at full price; especially since we only have about two months of cold weather during the winter season here in the San Francisco Bay Area. When the coat went on sale, I was thrilled! Although there are only a handful of cold days left until spring is in full swing, I know I can wear this coat in New York next month and also next winter. So I will still get plenty of wear out of it! It is soft, comfortable and just plain amazing! Yes, I am in love with a coat. <<sighs>>

Are there any pieces you have been eyeing since fall and were able to snap up on sale this month? If so, do tell!!

One of the big handbag trends for the past several seasons has been the drawstring handbag. For spring 2015, designers have gone full steam ahead and created several versions of the drawstring handbag and bucket bag for the warm weather season. This is definitely the “IT” handbag style of the spring 2015 season; as well as the summer 2015 season.

Drawstring bags began to gain popularity when Mansur Gavriel introduced their simple version a few seasons ago. The drawstring bucket bag designed by Mansur Gavriel was moderately priced and came in a variety of colors with contrasting interiors. The handbag was so popular that it sold out within minutes of being introduced. This led to the current craze. As Fashionistas and handbag lovers everywhere went crazy trying to get their hands on a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, other designers saw the trend and capitalized on it by introducing their own versions of this classic, casual handbag style.

Now that spring 2015 is here, designers and handbag brands have launched varieties of drawstring bags and buckets bags for the warm weather season. Drawstring bucket bags can be found in solid colors, vegan fabrications, bi-color styles and quilted. Designers are also showing drawstring bucket bags both in minimalist styles and embellished styles. There is definitely a style for everyone when it comes to bucket bags this season!

Since drawstring bags are casual in nature, this is an easy handbag trend to get behind for the spring 2015 season. You will find yourself reaching for this handbag almost everyday. Bucket bags are also roomy, which allows you carry everything you need, and more!

I found a few fabulous drawstring bags and buckets bags around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them ! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
