jinsoon fall 2017 nail polish collection review

JINsoon nail polish is one of the popular brands you find backstage at New York Fashion Week runway shows. I have always admired their nail colors, and their nail art, on the runways; so when they offered to send me their fall collection, I was thrilled!

The JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish collection is hot off the runway, and I am so excited to share the colors with you!

I tested out the JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish collection with one base coat, and two coats of colors. I found the nail polish to be extremely chip resistant. I did some household cleaning without gloves in order to test the durability of the polish, and it passed all the tests! JINsoon’s nail polish did not chip, or wear, off while I scrubbed the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the floor while wearing it; without gloves. Love that!

Fall 2017 is all about dark colors, soft fabrics, texture, and a vintage vibe. The JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish collection captures this vibe, and the colors work well with the look of the season.

JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish: JINsoon Abyss

jinsoon Abyss nail polish fall 2017 review

JINsoon Abyss nail polish for fall 2017 is my favorite color from the autumn collection. Abyss is a deep, dark, mysterious blue which has a slight greenish tinge in artificial light. In natural light, it is a beautiful, dark navy hue. I love this color and can’t wait to wear it often this fall season!

JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish: JINsoon Fable

JINsoon Fable is my second favorite color from the fall collection. This is a fabulous, deep, dark purple hue. Purple is one of my favorite colors, so it makes a great alternative to my go-to blue hues. I plan on weaving this color into my fall nail polish routine often. It is simply stunning.

JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish: JINsoon Idyll

jinsoon idyll nail polish fall 2017 review

JINsoon Idyll nail polish is a classic orange-red. This is a timeless autumn hue which captures the essence of the fall season. My daughter spotted this color on my nails, and her eyes got wide. She snapped up the bottle and has made it her own. She is currently wearing Idyll on her fingers and her toes. She has no plans of returning the bottle to me. It is truly a beautiful fall hue. Love!

JINsoon fall 2017 nail polish: JINsoon Milieu

JINsoon Milieu is the ultimate classic taupe for fall. This is a great neutral color which should be a staple in anyone’s nail polish wardrobe. Milieu is a little bit more then a traditional neutral; it happens to have slight black undertones. These come out as appearing to add texture to the nail. You can really see it on my pinky in the photo above. I love when a neutral is not so neutral. When I don’t want my nails to compete with my outfit, JINsoon Milieu will be my nail color of choice.

This was the first time I tried JINsoon nail polish. I am really impressed! The colors apply smoothly; leaving no streaks. They are long lasting, and extremely chip resistant. In addition, JINsoon nail polish is priced under $20. Love that!

Which color is your favorite?

Guerlain Meteorites Pearls review

products c/o of Guerlain: Meteorites Baby Glow Touch / Meteorites Birthday Candle Pearls / makeup brush (so soft!! Love!!)

Guerlain is celebrating 30 years of their fabulous illuminating, and color-correcting Meteorites Pearls. To celebrate, they have introduced a special birthday edition of the famous Guerlain Meteorites Pearls for 2017. This special edition offers the same, well-loved Meteorites Pearls in a beautiful birthday package which looks so pretty on a vanity. This special edition is named the “Guerlain Meteorites Birthday Candle Pearls.” Love!

How pretty are these pearls!! I tend to prefer wearing powder alone, without foundation. I am prone to acne, so I only wear foundation for special occasions. My daily beauty routine consists of concealer over blemishes, blush, and powder. Although I have always admired Guerlain’s Meteorites Pearls from afar, I hadn’t tried them before. I was so thrilled to have the chance to try them out. I am hooked!

I used this beautiful pink makeup brush to apply the pearls. The brush is luxurious and soft; I need to get the blush version! This brush glides over the beautiful pearls, and helps apply the powder evenly across my face. I love the uplifting, illuminating look the powder offers me. This is my new go-to powder for my daily beauty routine! I love this pretty, pink, special edition casing. My daughters are already eyeing it in hopes of snagging it from me, but I have a good hiding place where they can’t find it. haha

How cute is this on-to-go Meteorites Baby Glow stick? This is a great highlighter in a compact package which fits nicely into my purse for touch-ups during the day; or for travel. I don’t want to throw my pearls into my suitcase, so this stick is perfect to use in lieu of the pearls while traveling. Love!

This whole collection is my new addiction. I highly recommend adding it to your routine! You can find the limited edition Guerlain Meteorites Pearls online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish review

Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish review fall

pictured: Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish

Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish is a sparkling, cherry red nail polish hue. Don’t let the word “Rose” in the name fool you! This is the perfect holiday red despite the fact that is was introduced in the pre-fall season!

Now, there are many species of red roses on this planet. It is entirely possible that one of those roses is this exact color; but from a nail polish stand-point, this hue is often referred to as cherry red. Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish might be a classic cherry red, but it is not a common cherry red. This one has a few slight sparkles, and pinkish undertones! These quiet sparkles give Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish some dimension; making it an interesting, and pretty nail polish color. Love!

If you like cherry red nail polish, and Chanel’s fall nail polish colors are too edgy for you, Rose Prodigious is a great color to wear now, and throughout the fall/winter/holiday season. I am going to keep it for later on in the season. I think it is perfect for the holidays!

You can find Chanel Rose Prodigious nail polish is limited edition and can be found online here. What do you think of the color?

Thanks for stopping by!
