The holiday 2013 season is almost here! That means Chanel has already given us a holiday red nail polish for the festive season. This year, Chanel has created “Rouge Rubis” nail polish. Chanel “Rouge Rubis” nail polish is a bright, cherry red which works perfectly with winter 2014’s candy colored trend. The red hue from Chanel “Rouge Rubis” is reminiscent of a Maraschino Cherry, as well as a sweet, candied cherry pie. It is not a red for the faint of heart; “Rouge Rubis” is bright and fun!

Chanel “Rouge Rubis” nail polish has the perfect balance between a blue based red and an orange based red. “Rouge Rubis” plays well with both sides of the color spectrum making it an easy color to wear on a daily basis. I tested Chanel “Rouge Rubis” with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The polish wore off the edges of the top of my nails within two days, but after the initial rub off on the edges, “Rouge Rubis” did not chip or flake for seven days. Love that!

“Rouge Rubis” by Chanel is a great cherry pie red for the holiday 2013 season, as well as for the nail polish guru who loves red! Chanel “Rouge Rubis” nail polish is a fun red; much less serious than the red nail polish hues Chanel has produced over the past few holiday seasons. I love the playful nature of a cherry red and the fact that it does not chip easily is a huge bonus!

Chanel “Rouge Rubis” nail polish is priced at $27 and can be found online here.

 Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is a late fall 2013, limited edition color release from Chanel. This beautiful nail polish is a sweet, shiny ballerina pink which is perfect for transitioning from fall into winter. Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is also a fabulous color to be worn as an alternative to classic “nude.”

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish for fall 2013 is a pretty pink which blends well with autumnal hues such as burgundy, dark green, navy, black and neutral shades. The classic pink hue does not compete with fall 2013’s prints, patterns or textures. Rose Moire by Chanel is understated and blends into the background; making it the perfect color for someone who is enjoys wearing a different color palette and/or print each and every autumn day.

As we move into winter 2014, Chanel Rose Moire nail polish will blend easily with winter’s cooler color palette. Candy colors, pastels and holiday reds are on the horizon for the winter 2014 season; as well as sparkling and metallic hues. Rose Moire by Chanel’s pastel pink nature makes the hue easy to wear with all of winter 2014’s colors; in fact, Rose Moire will also work with resort 2014! Love that!

Resort 2014 will feature a combination of soft pastels and bright colors including cobalt, orange and yellow. Rose Moire by Chanel will easily blend with all of these shades. Since Chanel Rose Moire is a classic nail polish color, it will be easy to wear as we move from 2013 into 2014. This is also a beautiful nail polish color to keep on hand as a classic hue for occasions and times when you may not feel like being trendy.

I tested Chanel Rose Moire with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. When it began to chip, it chipped quickly and needed to be repainted. The polish may have lasted longer with a top coat.

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is limited edition and priced at $27. You can find Chanel Rose Moire nail polish online here.

Chanel Mysterious nail polish is one of the three new nail hues from Chanel for fall 2013. This dark brown nail polish offers a slight sparkle which can be seen in the jar. The slight sparkle seen in the jar offers a shiny and subtle result on the nail.

Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 is a classic brown nail polish color which works perfectly with autumn’s traditional color palette as well as the huge “print” trend from the runway. Mysterious by Chanel offers the perfect neutral backdrop for fall 2013’s animal prints, berry hues, burgundy shades and more. Love this!

I tested out Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 and the polish lasted about one week. I used one base coat and two coats of color. I feel like this is the perfect neutral nail polish for fall 2013; as well as long term. Chanel Mysterious is a great staple, dark brown hue for any nail polish wardrobe. The brown color is rich and timeless. Love!

Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 is priced at $27 and can be found online here. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
