Chanel Tapage nail polish is one of two nail polish colors from Chanel for the spring 2014 season. This bright, dark coral color offers a red hue with pink undertones. Tapage by Chanel is the ultimate color for a Fashionista who is seeking a classic yet fashion-forward nail polish color for the upcoming spring 2014 season.

The spring 2014 season is all about rainbow colors; especially shades of pink, purple, blue and green! In addition to vivid hues, pastels are hot for spring and many designers are still holding onto neon hues for the upcoming warm weather season. This makes Chanel Tapage nail polish a great color for spring. The light-hearted, reddish-coral hue blends well with spring 2014’s color palette allowing you to change your color story from bright hues to pastels to neon shades without worrying about your nail polish color clashing with your apparel. Love that!

I tested Chanel Tapage out with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The polish last six days before chipping. Chanel Tapage is a cream nail polish with a high shine which gives it a little bit more dimension than your average cream nail polish. 

Chanel Tapage nail polish for spring 2014 is priced at $27 and can be found online here.

I wore this outfit on Christmas Day (sorry for the late post). Although I chose to wear it to Church on Christmas, it really is perfect for any morning or mid-day special occasion. I also love how the sequins on the cardigan sweater are subtle. It makes it an easy piece to wear during the day; and with jeans! Love that!

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors, and this year, I feel like I am drawn to the hue more than any other color. I know I will wear this sweater a lot, and of course, I have already been wearing the Teece Torre bracelet a lot! To see how I have styled the bracelet in the past, please click here.

What color have you been drawn to lately?

Photo: Chanel Charivari nail polish from the spring 2014 nail polish collection. Photo taken one hour after sunrise, clear skies, light sunlight. This is the true color. Online shopping websites are showing the hue as lighter; it is this dark! Wearing two coats of color, one base coat, no top coat.

Chanel Charivari nail polish is the hot new “IT” color from Chanel’s spring 2014 beauty collection. This deep plum color is perfect for early spring when temperatures are cool and Fashionistas everywhere are still wearing heavier, dark winter clothing. The plum hue shown in the above photo is the actual color. Many online shopping website are showing the color as a light plum; it is a dark plum! 

Charivari by Chanel for spring 2014 is a beautiful dark plum/purple color which plays well with shades of blue, green, pink, purple,neutrals, black and of course, metallic hues. The hue works well with winter 2014’s color palette as well as the bright hues from resort 2014 and the medium shades of spring 2014. Love that!

I wore Chanel Charivari for one week and began to see chips on  the sixth day. I used one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish stayed on quite well considering I did a lot of housecleaning and also wore it on a ski trip. I would love to test Chanel Charivari nail polish out with a matte top coat. I think this color would look amazing matte.
