Chanel Winter Glow

The Chanel nail polish winter 2024 collection is here! This is new. In the past, Chanel used to release their spring collection during the winter season, but in the past few years it has slowly crept into a March release. Now, Chanel has blessed us with a winter collection. Love that!

The “Winter Glow” collection from Chanel, for the winter 2024 season, includes a variety of makeup products, and two nail polish hues. The nail polish colors are not gel but have a gel-like or jelly finish. Instead of a cream or metallic, Skieuse and Glaciale are not opaque, they are see-through.

As you can see below, Chanel Skieuse nail polish is a pink color which glides on smoothly and provides a streak-free finish, but with two coats, you can still see my nails. The same goes for Chanel Glaciale nail polish, which is a white-like hue. For both colors I used one base coat and two coats of color.

If you are looking for an alternative to natural nails or clear nail polish, this is your season! You have a choice between two barely-there hues. If you prefer a more opaque manicure, stick with Chanel’s other colors and wait for spring.

What do you think of Chanel Winter Glow? Do you like these jelly-like polishes? Or are you waiting for spring?

The holiday nail polish collection from Chanel is here! There is a shade for everyone this holiday season from Chanel. Love that!

For the 2023 holiday season, Chanel is giving us a classic gold nail polish, an understated white-ish nail polish, and a festive sparkling black polish. This leaves a color for every lifestyle this holiday season.

It is so refreshing to not have a predictable red nail polish for the holidays! I love that Chanel is giving us a classic gold, as well as an avant-garde black, and a timeless white so that everyone has the perfect color to fit their lifestyle.

So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors from the Chanel holiday 2023 beauty collection.

Feeling a bit edgy this holiday season? Black is the IT nail polish color of the season! Of course, Chanel always hits a home run when it comes to nail polish trends. Chanel Sequins nail polish is a sparkling black nail polish which features small sparkles. It is a fabulous nail polish, which I am wearing as I type this! Love!

Sequins by Chanel is shown with one base coat and two coats of color.

Do you like understated nails or work in a conservative environment? Then Chanel White Silk is the holiday nail polish for you! This white hued nail polish has a very slight peachy tint, making it stray from a traditional stark white.

Chanel White Silk is shown with one base coat, and three coats of color to avoid streaks.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2023 | Chanel Tuxedo

Chanel Tuxedo nail polish is a classic golden polish which sparkles in the light. This is a fabulous nail polish color to take you through the holiday season and into the new year. Love! Of course, metallic nail polish is a huge trend too! I love it when a color is both classic and trendy at the same time.

Chanel Tuxedo nail polish is shown with one base coat and two coats of color.

There you have it! Three fabulous hues from Chanel for the holiday season. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Chanel Sequins is mine!

I am so excited for the Dior holidays 2023 nail polish collection! Oh my! Aren’t these colors fabulous! LOVE!

For the holidays 2023 season, Dior outdid itself. Instead of basic red and gold, Dior created two fabulous nail polish colors and a sparkling top coat for the holiday season. They are all must-haves. I am wearing Dior Mirror nail polish as we speak, and I cannot get over how beautiful this color is! WOW!

I tested out both nail polish colors and the top coat with two coats of color and one base coat. They are Dior strong and chip resistant. So, without further ado, here are the three nail polishes from the Dior holidays 2023 beauty collection.

Dior Black Rivoli nail polish might sound like black on paper, but it is much more complex than that. Black Rivoli by Dior offers generous sparkle on top of a deep, dark purplish hue which will make people stare as they try to discern whether they are looking at purple or black. It is an amazing color. Black Rivoli can be worn alone, or with added dimension by adding the sparkling top coat Dorure.

Dior nail polish holidays 2023 | Dior Mirror

This is my favorite color from the holiday beauty collection. Dior Mirror nail polish is neither gold nor silver. It is a platinum metallic with golden and silver undertones. I am both fascinated and in love! It shines in the light and delivers on both holiday cheer and avant-garde. LOVE!

Isn’t this top coat fabulous! Dior Dorure top coat offer glittering, golden flakes which can be topped over any color you may already own, or Dior Black Rivoli. If you are a traditional red nail polish fan for the holiday season, this can glide over your favorite red and create the perfect holiday cheer on your nails. It will also be fun over any color from your collection for New Years eve celebrations. If you need to wear more conservative colors at the office during the week, you can wear your classic pinks and reds from Monday to Friday, and then after work on Friday, glide this top coat over your current manicure and you will have a quick and easy festive manicure for the weekend. Love that!

There you have it! The Dior nail polish collection for the holiday season. What do you think? Which color is your favorite? I am in love with all of these colors! They are beautiful! Can you tell my excitement from this post? haha
