Chanel Mirabella is a bright orange nail polish color from Chanel’s summer 2014 beauty collection. The bright orange hue teeters between being bright and neon. This is a hot nail polish color for the summer 2014. Orange nails, lipstick and tinted blush were all the rage on the spring/summer 2014 runways. This makes Chanel Mirabella nail polish the ultimate nail polish for the summer 2014 season; as well as right now!

The orange hue of Chanel Mirabella nail polish blends well with cool colors; which is unusual for an orange hued nail polish! Normally orange nail polish only works with shades of red, orange, yellow and neutrals. Not Chanel Mirabella nail polish! Chanel Mirabella has a slightly blue undertone which allows the nail polish to play well with shades of blue and pink. It does not play well with purple or green.

I tested out Chanel Mirabella nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The polish proved to be chip resistant and lasted six days. I also felt like Chanel Mirabella nail polish made my skin look tan; which is always a plus!

Chanel always has the most beautiful selection of nail polish colors; and for summer 2014 the iconic fashion house did not disappoint! Although all of the nail polish hues from Chanel’s summer 2014 collection are beautiful, Mirabella is standing out as my favorite. The orange hue is fresh and playful; making it perfect for the summer season!

Chanel’s summer 2014 nail polish colors are here! The colors are bright, playful, and perfect for the upcoming fun-filled summer months. Pink Tonic by Chanel is a bright, neon fuchsia hue which will definitely attract attention this summer 2014 season. The bright, neon color of Pink Tonic blends well with the seasons’ neon color palette, plays well with neutrals, and adds a little kick to pastel shades of pink, purple, green and blue.

Every year Chanel dictates the “IT” color in nail polish, and summer 2014 is no different. For summer 2014 we are looking at a mix of pastel hues, white, and neon brights for nail polish. Chanel Pink Tonic is a great nail polish color for the summer 2014 season since it is a bright pink hue which is easy to wear.

Although not a neutral color, Pink Tonic by Chanel plays well with the majority of colors in the summer 2014 color palette. This will make Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish easy to wear this summer, and perfect for the hot weather season. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. Chanel pink Tonic nail polish lasted five days before chipping and seven days before needing to be redone. The color is smooth and shiny; no matte or sparkles. You could try a matte top coat with Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish, although, I personally love the high shine of the nail polish and would not want to dull it with a matte top coat.

Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish is a limited edition nail polish for the summer 2014 season. You can find Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish online here and here.

Pictured: high coverage concealer for under eye c/o Laura Mercier.

Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer for under eye is here! This amazing eye concealer is packaged in a small tube with a long point where the concealer comes out in mini drops. These small drops of concealer are easy to apply with dots under the eyes where coverage is needed. After applying the concealer in dots under the eye, Laura Mercier’s new high coverage eye concealer can easily be smoothed into skin creating a clean canvas on the face  and hiding everything which needs to be hidden under the eye! Bye bye dark circles!

I have found it difficult to find a good eye concealer over the years since the color always seems to be slightly off from the color of my foundation making the portion under my eyes too white. Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer blends perfectly with my foundation and smooths into skin without leaving a trace. This allows Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer to properly hide imperfections under the eye without being detected. Perfection!

Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer also lasts all day without melting in humidity and hot weather. Love that! Laura Mercer’s new high coverage concealer for under eye can be found online here, here and here.
