The fabulous new nail polish collection for the fall 2018 season from Chanel has arrived! “Le Mat de Chanel” is an autumn beauty collection filled with shades of deep dark burgundy and classic red; all matte. There is nothing shiny, sparkly, or glittery about Chanel’s fall 2018 make-up collection. It is dark, autumnal, serious, and very matte.

Instead of three or four nail polish hues for the fall season, as Chanel normally puts out for a big season, there are two colors. Chanel Profondeur is a deep, burgundy hue which is vampy and quite fall-like. Chanel Ultime is a traditional classic red hue with a twist. The matte finish makes it an understated and very serious red. I love these two colors!

For the fall 2018 season, we are seeing a more traditional autumn color palette. Colors are darker, more understated, and offer a 1970s vintage vibe. The two new nail polish colors from the Chanel “Le Mat de Chanel” fall 2018 beauty collection fit right into what we will be seeing on store shelves for the upcoming cool weather season. This makes both colors easy to wear as we transition from summer into fall; especially Chanel Ultime nail polish since it is a classic red hue with a matte finish. This is a color that can easily be worn now, and as we move into the fall season.

Chanel nail polish fall 2018: Chanel Ultime

Chanel Ultime velvet nail polish for fall 2018 is a medium red hue which appear to be a classic scarlet color when first applied. As the nail polish dries, the matte finish appears which gives nails a softer yet vibrant red hue. I normally shy away from red nail polishes, but Chanel Ultime’s matte finish makes this an easy red nail polish to wear. I don’t feel like my nails are flashy with Ultime, the matte finish gives them a surprisingly understated look. Love that!

In order to test out Chanel Ultime nail polish, I used one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish went on smoothly, and evenly, in two coats. It did not streak or leave bubbles. This was an easy application! As with other Chanel nail polish hues, Ultime by Chanel is chip resistant and long lasting.

I mentioned earlier that this color will be great to wear as we move from summer into fall. Well, I meant it! Since Chanel Ultime is a classic red hue, it can be worn with our current wardrobes as well as into the fall season. In fact, it is such a timeless hue that Ultime by Chanel could easily be worn during all four seasons. Love!

Chanel nail polish fall 2018: Chanel Profondeur

I wanted Chanel Profondeur to be my favorite of the two autumn hues, but it leaves streaks when applied. In the photo above, you can see it with one base coat and two coats of color. In order to get a solid application, Chanel Profondeur needs three coats. Aside from the extra step in application, this is a really nail polish hues. The matte finish offers a little edgy vibe to the otherwise classic fall color.

Chanel Ultime and Chanel Profondeur are both fabulous nail polish colors which will easily carry us through the fall season. The matte finish gives both of them a fresh and unique look for the autumn season; plus there is something understated yet edgy about matte. Such a contradiction-but so true!

Which of the two fall colors are your favorite? The Chanel fall 2018 nail polish collection is joined by an eye shadow quad featuring shades of brown, and matte lip crayons. You can find the Chanel fall 2018 “Le Mat de Chanel” beauty collection online here.

What’s in my June 2018 beauty bag

June 2018 is here! This month I am focusing on a summer beauty routine. Last month I switched up my skin care routine, this month I am switching up my hair care routine.

A few years ago I started to get quite a few grey hairs peeking out of my brown hair. The last thing I wanted to do was to get into a cycle where I needed to color my hair in order to cover my grays. Finally, last month, I realized I could hold out no more. The grey hairs were starting to really bother me. So, my hair stylist dyed my hair with a semi-permanent color and added back my highlights; making my hair look like my natural hair! Love it!

Now that my hair is color treated, I need to ensure I am properly caring for it so that it does not get horribly dry and brittle. I love these “Aura Botanica” hair care products from Kerastase. They have a fabulous scent, and moisturize my hair perfectly; especially since I have recently started coloring my hair. I am in love with these products!

In between hair color sessions, if my grey starts to show, my hair stylist recommended this great root touch-up product by Style Mist. Dark brown is my color, and it’s great for covering up my roots between appointments. This is a must-have!

I love this new eye shadow palette from Urban Decay. Don’t they always have the best palettes?! These colors are so pretty and perfect for summer. They are great for warm summer evening eye looks!

Since summer is a time for dry skin, this new moisturizing lip balm by Chanel is a life saver. It’s a great way to add subtle color while adding moisture to lips. Leave it to Chanel to invent something fabulous!

Chanel nail polish summer 2018 | Chanel cruise 2019 nail polish colors

chanel summer 2018 nail polish review chanel cruise 2019 nail polish colors

Normally this time of year, Chanel releases new nail polish colors for the summer 2018 season. Starting last year, they released colors from their Cruise show, throwing the seasons off kilter! The spring 2018 collection released at the end of December, was labeled for spring and summer; although with six nail polish collections released throughout the year, it’s hard to imagine those colors being the end-all-be-all through both the spring and summer seasons.

Now, these colors could quite possibly be sold out by the time the resort/cruise 2019 season arrives, therefore, these colors should be worn now! Chanel will undoubtedly release new colors during the upcoming cruise/resort 2019 season anyway, so why wait until then!? These are the newest nail polish colors by Chanel, so they are presumably the summer 2018 collection. Thought you could confuse us Chanel, didn’t ya?

These new nail polish colors from Chanel for the summer 2018 season, or Cruise 2019, whichever you prefer, are a fabulous contrast to the brighter colors we are seeing in nails for the summer 2018 season. If bright colors aren’t your thing, this is the nail polish collection you have been dreaming about for the summer season!

Without further ado, here are the three hues you will be rocking this summer season as the yin to Dior’s bright summer colors and Chanel’s bright spring/summer colors yang!

Chanel nail polish summer 2018 | Chanel cruise 2019 nail polish: Chanel Chicness

Chanel Chicness nail polish is a muted, beige/purple hue. This is a great color for when you want to wear a nude nail, but can’t actually bring yourself to do it. It’s like a dark beige which is heavily infused with purple. It’s fabulous; and great for travel since the color plays well with most color palettes.

Chanel nail polish summer 2018 | Chanel cruise 2019 nail polish: Chanel Halo

This is the perfect pink for classic nail lovers! Chanel Halo nail polish is a really pretty pink. It’s a vibrant pink which adds just the right amount of brightness to your nails, without being edgy. Chanel Halo is the ideal color if you are a pink and red nail polish fan. I love the candy-colored hue, which plays well with all of summer’s color palettes.

Chanel nail polish summer 2018 | Chanel cruise 2019 nail polish: Chanel Legerete

chanel legerete nail polish summer 2018 review

When I first got my hands on the Chanel summer 2018 nail polish collection, I assumed Chanel Chicness would be my favorite; I was wrong. Chanel Legerete nail polish is my favorite! This hue is akin to a warm military green which has faded. I love it. Seriously cannot get enough of it. This color plays well with any outfit, and it’s different then what other designers are showing for the season; so it’s a bit unique in that respect. I can’t wait to wear Chanel Legerete nail polish as an alternative to the brighter hues I plan to wear from the Dior summer collection.

We will be rocking these Chanel Cruise 2019 colors as the Chanel nail polish summer 2018 collection. At the end of this year, we will dive into the new colors which Chanel will undoubtedly release for the resort/cruise 2019 season. As for now, happy summer!
