Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish from the summer 2014 beauty collection “Summer Glow.” “Gaia” by Dolce & Gabbana is a beautiful amber green nail polish which sparkles in the sun: as you can see in the above photo. This medium green hue with amber undertones plays well with both gold and silver jewelry, as well as summer 2014’s color palette.

Green also happens to be one of fall 2014’s most important colors. Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish is the perfect way to incorporate green into your summer wardrobe now and as you begin to transition into the fall when late summer arrives. Transitions into fall =  love!

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s “Gaia” nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish lasted for nine days without chipping! I even wore it on a vacation to Pine Mountain Lake where I was boating and swimming; and the nail polish stayed on perfectly! Love that!

Dolce & Gabbana “Gaia” nail polish is limited edition and part of the summer 2014 beauty collection, “Summer Glow.” It can be found online here and here.

Grey for fall 2014

Is grey the new black? Is grey the new grey? Who really knows. Every few fall seasons grey is the hot new neutral which blends with that particular season’s color palette. For fall 2014, grey is the hottest neutral hue in town. Although grey was not dominant on the runway, store buyers took a liking to the hue and stocked shelves for the upcoming cool weather season with shades of grey.

Grey for fall 2014 is being shown in everything including shoes, handbags, clothing and jewelry. There are no rules when it comes to grey. Grey can be used as a neutral and combined with another color or worn alone for a tonal look. Color blocking is also being shown in small quantities for the fall 2014 season and grey is being used in the trend.

There are so many ways to wear grey for fall 2014, and since there are not any rules, you can wear grey any way you see fit. If you like grey, it is a great color to wear on a dress, or jacket, or any staple piece of apparel. If you prefer a little more color in your wardrobe, grey is a great alternative to black. You can find one pair of grey shoes or one fabulous grey handbag and use it all season long as your staple piece of grey.

I found a few fabulous grey pieces for fall 2014 around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Chanel “Orage” nail polish is a black nail polish hue from Chanel’s fall 2014 beauty collection. The nail polish shade is dark, vampish and an edgy way to be neutral for the upcoming cool weather season. With fall 2014’s dark autumn hues and contrasting bright colors, a black nail polish is the perfect way to have a neutral nail polish color which is easy to wear on a daily basis; especially if fall 2014’s nude nail trend is not your style.

I tested out Chanel “Orage” nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted seven days; which is really good for a dark nail polish without a top coat!
