Chanel fall 2021 nail polish

The Chanel fall 2021 nail polish collection has arrived! This season, Chanel has created four autumn hues which are right on trend for the fall season; they are dark, yet unexpected versions of otherwise classic nail polish shades. Wow!

There are two nail polish colors from the red family; a dark red named Terre Brulee and a deep burgundy named Rouge Brun. As the name suggests, Rouge Brun has brown undertones. It’s a fabulous color!

If you are more of a putty or neutral nail polish fan, then there are two hues for you! Chanel is offering Brun Fume, which is a grey-ish dark brown, and Beige Cendre which is a light beige-grey. In my opinion, this is a great color to wear now as we transition from summer into fall. I am wearing Chanel Beige Cendre as I type this!

I tested out all four nail polish colors from Chanel with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are all cream polishes, and thankfully, all four colors go on smoothly without streaking. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the four nail polish colors from Chanel for the fall 2021 season.

Chanel nail polish fall 2021 | Chanel Terre Brulee

Chanel Terre Brulee is a dark version of a classic red polish. It has a slightly cool undertone, and it is a few shades darker than a classic, medium red. If you love red nail polish, this is your fall hue! It’s the modern version of red. Love!

Chanel nail polish fall 2021 | Chanel Rouge Brun

I love this color! Chanel Rouge Brun nail polish is a dark burgundy shade with slightly brown undertones. It is a beautiful color which feel fresh, while still offering a classic vibe. When the weather starts to cool down, this will be my hue! Isn’t’ it fabulous? Love!

Chanel nail polish fall 2021 | Chanel Brun Fume

Oh I love this version of brown! At first glance, I thought this was a grey nail polish with brown undertones, but it is the opposite. After putting it on my nails, I realized Chanel Brun Fume nail polish is a deep brown hue with grey undertones; think of it as a cold brown. I really love this color and can see myself alternating this polish with Chanel Rouge Brun as the weather cools down during the fall season. This feels like the most unique color of the collection, love it!

Chanel nail polish fall 2021 | Chanel Beige Cendre

How pretty is this light grey-beige from Chanel?! Chanel Beige Cendre is a feminine version of beige, and it is perfect to wear now as we transition from the summer season into the fall season. Beige Cendre by Chanel is a cool beige with grey undertones, and it’s an easy color to wear. If you want something on trend, yet understated for the office, this is your nail polish color! It is the professional color from the collection. I am wearing it right now! Love!

Chanel fall 2021 beauty | Chanel Powder Blush Ombre

OK, if you are like me, you are realizing you need makeup! Now that the masks are off, we need to put something on our faces again. For video meetings, I was only doing my eyes and putting on lipstick; no blush or powder! Now that we are back out in the world, without masks, the blush and powder needs to come back! I don’t wear foundation as I am prone to acne. I wear a foundation powder, which is fabulous and offers ideal coverage without clogging my pores. You can find it online here. That being said, the way to instantly update the face, without wearing a ton of makeup, is with blush!

The Chanel fall 2021 beauty collection offers fabulous colors for the fall season which will instantly update your face. I didn’t splurge on the eye shadow quad just yet, but I did grab the powder blush. It is a light and cool color, giving the face an instantly modern, and very 2021, look. Love that!

Chanel act II is here! The late spring 2020 collection, also referred to as Act II or Chanel’s second season release, is here. Chanel La Fleur de L’Eau is a soft and feminine makeup collection which features two new nail polish hues, two new Rouge Coco Flash colors (I purchased one which you can see above), blush, and more. I only purchased one lipstick, and the blush, along with the two nail polish hues.

Spring 2020 is bringing us vibrant hues in apparel, as well as some pastels. The Chanel La Fleur de L’Eau collection is perfect for acting as a neutral against the many colors we are seeing right now for spring. I decided to purchase the blush, which is a fresh and pretty pink, for the spring season. It’s a light and airy color which works well with many skin tones. I also felt like I needed a fun lipstick color for the spring season. As you know, I prefer sheer lipsticks, so when I saw the new Eau de Rose from Chanel’s Coco Flash collection, I knew it would make the perfect spring hue. It’s my favorite lipstick color Chanel has released for spring. Love!

Chanel La Fleur de L’eau spring 2020 collection: Chanel Petale nail polish

If you are looking for a chic and classic pink this spring season, Chanel Petale nail polish from the Chanel La Fleur de L’Eau collection for late spring, is the hue for you! It’s a medium pink with blue undertones. I find the hue mature and alluring. I’m not normally a pink nail polish person, but I will wear this pink. It’s vibrant and fun!

Chanel La Fleur de L’eau spring 2020 collection: Chanel Fleur de Pecher nail polish

I cannot resist sparkles! Chanel Fleur de Pecher nail polish from the Chanel La Fleur de L’Eau beauty collection for late spring 2020 is the hue for me! It’s a peachy pink with subtle sparkles. I always reach for sparkly nail polish when it’s around. Love this one! I plan on switching from the spring 2020 collection, to this hue as we move forward in the season. It’s a little bit lighter, which plays well with my current mood for spring.

Laura Mercier Creme Cheek Color in Praline for Spring 2014

February 25, 2014 in Beauty tagged blush / face / laura mercier / reviews / spring 2014 by Bay Area Fashionista

Creme Cheek Color in Praline c/o Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier’s new Creme Cheek Color in Praline for the spring 2014 season is the perfect hue for the season’s color palette. This dark peachy color plays well with both orange hued lipsticks as well as shades of pink. It also works beautifully with neutral eye shadows and natural eye shadow looks. Perfection!

The creamy texture of Laura Mercier’s Creme Cheek Color is new for me. I normally use a powder cheek color with a brush. The creamy texture is amazing because it goes on smoothly and lasts all day without needing to be reapplied like the dry powders I am used to using. This is a huge plus for me! Also, despite the fact that it is a cream, Laura Mercier’s Creme Cheek Color does not clog my pores; it is lightweight! Love that!

I am now a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s Creme Cheek Color and look forwarding to trying new colors every season! For spring 2014, Praline is the perfect hue and will match both brightly colored apparel as well as pastels. I look forward to wearing Praline everyday this season!

Laura Mercier’s Creme Cheek Color in Praline is priced at $24 and can be found online here and here.
