Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015 review

tom ford black jade nail polish review spring 2015

Pictured: Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015. Picture taken during golden hour. Shown with one base coat, three coats of color, no top coat.

Nail polish for spring 2015 has a dark side; and it is Tom Ford’s Black Jade nail polish hue. This deep, dark, sparkling forest green will trick you into thinking it is a fall color. Yet, when set against spring colors for 2015, Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish compliments the spring 2015 color palette by adding an unexpected feeling to any ensemble. Love that!

This was my first Tom Ford nail polish purchase. I have one lipstick by him, which I love, so I decided I should test out Tom Ford’s nail polish. I love it! The application brush was easy to use and the nail polish went on smooth. The dark nature of Black Jade soon made me realize the nail polish needed three coats for full coverage. With three coats, Tom Ford Black Jade offers streak-free coverage and a slight sparkle underneath the deep, dark color of the polish. It is definitely fabulous.

I tested out Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. I did receive one chip within twenty four hours, but the chip was small; although surprising. I continued to wear the nail polish and it did not receive any additional chips for seven days. I had to take it off when my nail growth was starting to show on my nail beds.

Tom Ford has a large selection of colors, and for spring 2015, he also has a beautiful blue hue named Indigo Night. I am looking forward to trying out more Tom Ford nail polish colors in the future. For spring 2015, I am thrilled with Black Jade!

Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color is a new lipstick alternative from Laura Mercier. A fusion between lip gloss and cream lipstick, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color “paints” on your lips like a gloss, while offering the finish of a cream lipstick. Love that!

As lipstick trends toward darker hues in cream or matte finishes for the spring and summer seasons, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color is the perfect lipstick alternative to rocking this trend. Instead of worrying about a thick cream or matte lipstick which can cake up, as well as travel past your lip lines while on, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color stays exactly where you “paint” it on, and offers the lightweight feeling of a gloss. Perfection 😉

I tested out Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color in “Red Brick” from the spring 2015 collection. This lip color offers a classic red hue which looks like a timeless red, cream lipstick. I loved how it felt lightweight like a gloss. Sometimes cream lipstick is too thick and does not stay in place on my lips. Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color stayed exactly where I put it on my lips; giving me long lasting, worry-free color!

In addition to “Red Brick,” Laura Mercier’s new Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color comes in a variety of classic, and of-the-moment hues including Coral Reef, Fuchsia Mauve, Golden Peach, Orchid Pink, Petal Pink, and Vermilion Red. You can find Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color online here.


Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish review

Last winter, Chanel repromoted four nail polish colors which had been huge hits in previous seasons. Chanel’s sweet peachy nail polish color, Peche Nagree, from Spring 2011, was one of the four hues repromoted and it is ideal for the spring season.

Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish is a soft peachy hue which is classic and easy to wear daily. If you are looking for a timeless nail polish shade, this is it! Peche Nagree has a pale orange and pink blend which offers color on the nails; without competing with jewelry or apparel. It fades into the background; an ideal color for wearing prints and mixing bright hues this spring season.

I tested out Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted a bit longer than most Chanel nail polishes; it lasted eight days! Love that!
