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

Laura Mercier Organza nail polish from Cinema Noir for fall 2012 review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged classic style / fall 2012 / laura mercier / pink / reviews by

Laura Mercier has released their hot new fall 2012 make-up collection “Cinema Noir” and I had to give the new, sparkling nude shade “Organza” a whirl. “Organza” is a sheer nude polish with gold sparkles which is perfect for the upcoming fall 2012 season.

Fall 2012 is all about nude nails and brown nails. In addition to nail polish colors, fall 2012 has many important trends; one of which is yellow gold. Yellow gold is huge for the fall 2012 season and Laura Mercier’s “Organza” is the perfect blend between the yellow gold trend and the nude nail polish trend.

The gold specks are eye catching and sparkle in both artificial and natural light. The sheer nude nature of the color allows the beauty of the natural nail to show through. I love the natural effect of Laura Mercier’s “Organza” combined with the dazzle of the gold sparkles!

“Organza” by Laura Mercier is perfect to wear now as well as during the fall 2012 season since the nail polish color is neutral and blends well with all colors and ensembles. It makes getting dressed in the morning a snap! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Organza” nail polish applies evenly and does not streak at all. In the below photo I used a base coat and two coats of “Organza” nail polish. I did not apply a top coat. The polish is long lasting, as one can expect from Laura Mercier’s fabulous line of nail lacquer.
The verdict is in! Laura Mercier’s “Organza” nail polish from the “Cinema Noir” make-up collection for the fall 2012 season received five out of five stars.

Priced at $18 each, Laura Mercier nail polish, including “Organza,” can be found at LauraMercier.com
