Laura Mercier Bare Rose nail polish for summer 2013 review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged laura mercier / pink / reviews / summer 2013 by

One of the biggest trends in nail polish for the summer 2013 season, and moving into the fall 2013 season, is the nude nail. Laura Mercier’s new summer 2013 nail polish hue, “Bare Rose,” fits perfectly into the nude nail trend this season while offering a splash of sweet color.

The nude nail look this season is a bare hue with a slight splash of color. Instead of traditional beige, summer 2013 is bringing us nude nail polish hues which offer pink or coffee colors infused into the polish. “Bare Rose” by Laura Mercier is the perfect pinkish-nude hue for the summer of 2013 as it offers the on-trend color as well as high quality saturation.

I tested out Laura Mercier’s “Bare Rose” nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The polish went on smooth without streaking; a huge feat when it comes to pale polishes! As with all of Laura Mercier’s nail polishes, “Bare Rose” is long-lasting and does not chip easily. The polish lasted a full week without chipping. Love that!

“Bare Rose” by Laura Mercier is a sophisticated nude pink which acts as the perfect background for summer 2013’s bright color palette and colorful prints. Laura Mercier’s “Bare Rose” nail polish for summer 2013 is also easy to wear with both daytime and evening attire.

Laura Mercier “Bare Rose” nail polish is limited edition and priced at $18. “Bare Rose” by Laura Mercier can be found online here.

Chanel Emprise nail polish for spring 2013

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged chanel / chanel nail polish / pastels / pink / spring 2013 by

Spring 2013 has two distinct color palettes; the bright color trend and pastels. One of the easitest ways to wear a color trend is through nail polish. Chanel’s new Emprise nail polish from the spring 2013 beauty collection is the easiest way to wear the pastel trend.

Chanel Emprise nail polish is a vivid, pastel pink which is a cross between sweet, baby pink and candy pink. This vivid hue works perfectly with the seasons’ pastel trend, yet can easily blend into a brightly colored ensemble. Love that!

The vivid pink hue of Chanel Emprise nail polish is also light enough to wear to work or as a neutral; yet vibrant enough to add a little spice to one’s overall look. For Fashionistas who find baby pink, or pastel pink, to be a little too sweet, Chanel Emprise is the perfect answer. This vivid pastel is a grown up shade of pastel pink which offers a mature yet playful vibe.

We tested Chanel Emprise with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. Chanel Emprise nail polish lasted seven days before chipping on the right thumb. Fabulous!

Chanel spring 2013 beauty collection can be found at Chanel counters and at Chanel.com Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Laura Mercier En Pointe nail polish review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged classic style / laura mercier / pink / reviews / spring 2013 by

Pastels are huge for spring 2013 and one of the easy ways to wear this color trend is through nail polish! Laura Mercier’s new, spring 2013 collection, “Arabesque” has a fabulous, extra soft baby pink nail polish named “En Pointe.” This sweet hue is perfect for spring 2013 since it is subtle and understated; ideal for a nail polish shade which will not compete with spring’s vibrant prints, florals and color palette.

There are so many color palettes in apparel for the spring 2013 season. In addition to the pastel color palette, which happens to be the most important color group this spring season, bright colors and even neon hues are at the forefront of fashion for spring 2013. In order to wear pastels one day, and then bright colors the next, it is important to have an understated nail color which will blend easily with all of the season’s colors and prints.

Soft, baby pink is a cheerful alternative to a nude nail and the subtle hue is easy to wear with almost any skin tone. Of course, Laura Mercier’s nail polish is also high quality. The polish does not streak and lasts a full week with one base coat and two coats of color. We did not apply a top coat for our test.

Laura Mercier’s “En Pointe” nail polish for spring 2013 is available now and can be found at Laura Mercier counters, at LauraMercier.com and at Sephora.com. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
