The spring 2023 nail polish collection from Chanel is finally here! This year, Chanel has given us two colors for the spring season with one classic hue, and one fun color. Love that!

The classic hue is Chanel Rouge Cuir, which is a timeless berry shade that can be worn during any season of the year. I see this as an expansion of the neutral hues Chanel released last fall. If you are looking for an updated neutral, this is your spring nail polish color.

If you are looking for something a little bit more fun, Chanel Watermelon nail polish is a shiny, sheer, sugary orange. This nail polish applies with a sheer, jelly-like look which is high on shine. I used two coats of color in my photos, and as you can see, the polish doesn’t completely saturate the nail. with three coats, you can recreate the color you see in the bottle.

So, without further ado, here are the two spring nail polish hues from Chanel.

Chanel Watermelon nail polish is a jelly-like polish which does not offer a lot of color saturation. If you want the color in the bottle, it will require three coats. If you prefer the avant-garde look of the shiny and jelly-like consistency of this polish, one or two coats will achieve your goal. Photo taken with one base coat, two coats of color; no top coat.

How pretty is Chanel Rouge Cuir nail polish for spring! I love it! This is a fabulous, updated neutral hue which can be worn to the office, daily, and also in the evening. It is the ideal polish to put on and leave on until it chips, or your nails grow. Tested with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat.

There you have it! The two nail polish colors from Chanel for the spring 2023 season. What do you think? Which nail polish is your favorite?

How pretty are these colors from Gucci for spring 2023! Love! So, I know I have been talking about neutral nail polish being a thing, but I got so bored of neutrals, I needed something a little bit more fun for the upcoming spring season. It’s been awhile since I reviewed Gucci nail polish, so I decided to dive into their spring collection, and I am so glad I did!

While many designers are showing neutral hues for nails this spring 2023 season, Gucci is ignoring the trend and giving us beautiful spring hues for the warm weather season; and I am here for it! There is a fabulous fuchsia, a yellowish ivory, and light denim blue. These colors are fun and joyful; exactly what we need for spring!

I’ve decided I want some fun colors for spring to mix with my neutrals. You know I like to alternate my nails! So, without further ado, here are the three cheery hues from Gucci for the spring 2023 season, all shown with one base coat, and two coats of color, no top coat.

Gucci Vantine Fuchsia nail polish is a fun, candy pink fuchsia which is bright and makes me wants to eat candy; literally! This is such a great color for anyone looking for a bright hue for spring. I think for me, this will be perfect for my toes!

This yellowish ivory hue from Gucci for spring is oddly inviting. I normally shy away from ivory or white nails, but there is something I love about this color. I think it is the yellow hue which is so slight, it makes the ivory interesting. I think this is the perfect replacement for a neutral nail if you strongly dislike neutral nails. I plan to wear Cecilia Ivory often.

Gucci nail polish spring 2023 | Gucci Lucy Baby Blue

Well, as you know, I love blue nail polish colors! So obviously, I am wearing Lucy Baby Blue right now as I type this. This light, denim blue hue is cool and has a slight lavender undertone. I am in love! This will be my spring go-to when I need fun on my nails. I am so bored of neutral nails already! Let’s have some fun with this blue!

Well, those are the three nail polish colors for spring 2023 from Gucci. What do you think? I feel like these are fabulous alternatives to the shades of pink, red and orange other designers are putting out there. I love having fun alternatives.

Express jeans review

 in General Fashion / Shopping  tagged casual style / denim / express / outfits / reviews / spring 2023 / winter 2023 by

OK, so I want to make this perfectly clear, this is NOT a sponsored post. Although I received gifted product from Express back in 2017, this article has nothing to do with that past relationship and is purely my opinion. Now that we cleared that up, I really love my Express denim!

I have always had Express on my radar. It was a fabulous place to shop back in high school, and I have been a customer this entire time. If you have been following along, then you may have noticed occasionally seeing pieces from Express pop up on my blog. This past year, when I was trying to replace my wardrobe due to my weight loss, Express was an easy place to go to stock up on the latest styles of denim and round out my casual wardrobe.

Express has tons of denim styles, so finding jeans in the right styles was easy. In addition to offering a ton of denim styles, they also have jeans in short, regular and tall lengths! Say what?! As someone who is 5’4″ and in love with wearing jeans, my height has always made shopping for jeans challenging. They are always too long, and if I wanted to have them shortened, there are very few styles that can actually be shortened without compromising the bottom half silhouette of the jeans. Flares and boot cut are always challenging, and anything with an interesting hemline would be compromised. Finding jeans in short lengths, is a godsend! In addition, if you are tall, I know you struggle finding jeans which are long enough; my dear friend has this problem!

The jeans I have purchased from Express over the past year, have held up really well in the wash. I wash them on warm and hang them to dry. The sizing is fairly consistent, which makes it easy to buy their jeans online. Express also sends out coupons if you shop with them a lot, and they also have occasional deals online such as buy one, get one 50% off. If you are just looking for one pair, they are usually priced under $100 already, so buying Express jeans is a guilt-free purchase. Love that!

So, if you need to update your denim wardrobe, now that skinny jeans are over and we are moving into a world of straight jeans, flare jeans, bootcut jeans, and wide leg jeans, then Express is a great place to stock up on new styles without breaking the bank. Love that!

Here are the styles I have purchased and love; I am sure you have seen them on the blog! Click on your favorite for shopping information.

What are your favorite styles of denim right now? Are you ready to give up your skinny jeans? I struggled with this one!

Thanks for stopping by!
