Chanel Sky Line nail polish review

Chanel released a special collection late last summer which included a beautiful, baby blue nail polish hue named “Sky Line.” This beautiful pale yet vibrant shade of blue was lost during August when the fall 2012 colors began to hit store shelves and Fashionistas everywhere flocked towards shades of burgundy, berry, brown, red, purple and dark pink. But now, as we move towards resort 2013 and spring 2013, and pastels are an important color group for the current, winter 2013 season, this beautiful blue nail polish seems like the perfect polish for our fingertips.

Chanel Sky Line nail polish is named appropriately as the blue hue is almost the same shade of blue as a clear sky. The nail polish itself has a slightly dimensional nature which makes it stand out from a regular, baby blue nail polish color.

Light blue nail polish works perfectly with all of winter 2013’spastel hues and also makes an interesting contrast when paired with resort 2013’s neon colors. With Emerald green being the color of 2013, and every shade of blue being hot for spring 2013, Sky Line by Chanel is the perfect transitional nail polish color to wear now, before we are mesmerized by Chanel’s spring 2013 nail polish line. 

Sky Line by Chanel applies perfectly in two coats and is chip resistant. This limited edition nail polish color can be found in Chanel Boutiques and also on Chanel’s website at chanel.com.

Chanel Malice nail polish for the Holiday 2012 season

Chanel Malice is the sparkling new, limited edition nail polish color for the Holiday 2012 season. This dark, deep red sparkles slightly; making it a festive nail polish for the holiday season! Deep, dark red nail polish also happens to be the hottest nail polish color for the Holiday 2012 season. Love that!

Malice by Chanel offers everything a Chanel nail polish fan can expect. The nail polish applies smoothly and needs two coats for the perfect saturation of color. Chanel Malice is also long-wearing and does not chip easily. This nail polish hue stays put even when washing dishes without gloves! Fabulous!

Chanel Malice plays well with the red, berry, purple, green and blue hues from the fall/winter 2012 season. The slight sparkle in the nail polish also makes Chanel Malice an easy polish you can wear from day into evening; which is fabulous because let’s face it, your nails need to be able to make an appearance at all of the festive events you attend this holiday season!

Chanel Malice is shown in the below photo with two coats and no top coat. This beautiful holiday 2012 nail polish color can be found at Chanel Boutiques, Chanel counter’s and online at Chanel.com.

Chanel spring 2013 Paris Fashion Week

Ah Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld has created a beautiful and playful collection for the spring/summer 2013 season. As seen at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, the Chanel collection is colorful and shows many trends from the spring 2012 season which are continuing into the new year.

Chanel showed kitschy fashion including an oversized shoulder bag with hoola-hoop handles. There was color blocking, multi-color tweed, bright colors, pastels, 1960’s silhouettes, platform shoes, oversized jewelry, a bubble theme, florals and clutches; many many clutches!

The overall collection was fabulous and inspirational for the upcoming spring/summer 2013 season. What do you think of the collection? Was it a hit or miss for you?
