Pictured: Nars Sherwood nail polish from the winter 2015 color collection.
Nars has a fabulous collection of nail polishes for the winter 2015 season. The colors are cool and ideal for the winter 2015 color palette. I love this winter 2015 nail polish from Nars; Sherwood. Sherwood by Nars is a beautiful, medium purple nail polish hue which is easy to wear with pastels, bright colors and neutrals. Love that!
I tested out Nars Sherwood nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish held up well and lasted six days with only one small chip on my index finger. I love the subtle sparkles in the nail polish which add dimension to the color.
Nars also has a fabulous nail polish application brush which is flat and the perfect size for gliding easily on my nails. Nars nail polish applies smoothly and does not make a mess; huge plus! The brush is easy to balance too. Another huge plus!
I am looking forward to wearing Nars Sherwood nail polish this winter 2015 season. To find Nars Sherwood nail polish and the winter 2015 beauty collection online, please click here and here.
Chanel Vamp nail polish is a deep, red hue which is part of Chanel’s classic nail polish collection. Vamp was originally introduced in the 1990’s and sold out the same day it hit store shelves. The waiting list for Chanel Vamp nail polish was a mile long and very few people were able to get their hands on the edgy red hue.
Fast forward to the 2014 holiday season. Chanel is re-promoting Vamp for the holiday season alongside Phenix. As nail polish fans are reminded of the beauty that is Chanel Vamp, the classic nail polish color is starting to fly off store shelves once again. Chanel Vamp is also a good companion color to 2015’s color of the year, Marsala. Vamp is a darker hue than Marsala, but the two colors blend well together, making Vamp an easy color to wear as we move into the new year.
I remember when Chanel Vamp first came out in the 1990’s. I went to the Saks Fifth Avenue Chanel counter on Union Square to buy a new bottle of my favorite nail polish at the time; Raspberry. The Chanel nail polish I had been wearing was a beautiful red hue similar to a raspberry. It had sparkles and I loved, loved, loved it! When I went to the Chanel counter to buy a new bottle, since I had used up my old one, I was informed it had been limited edition and was no longer available. I was crushed! There I was, in my early 20’s, already a victim of the dreaded “limited edition” curse. The curse happens when you fall in love with a Chanel beauty product only to find you can never re-purchase it because it was limited edition and will never exist ever again! Curses.
The Chanel representative at Saks Fifth Avenue informed me there was a new nail polish color and she had one bottle left; ONE BOTTLE LEFT! It was Vamp. She told me this was the hot new nail polish color from Chanel. It looked so dark in the bottle to me. In the 1990’s, nail polish was light and playful; never serious or dark. So, when Vamp first came out, it’s darkness was downright shocking! Since I was used to lighter nail polish colors, I passed on Vamp and chose a pink hued nail polish. What a mistake I made!
A few days later I decided to give Vamp a go. I returned to Saks Fifth Avenue only to learn that last bottle had been sold moments after I left a few days before. I walked to the other side of Union Square and tried to find Vamp at Macy’s and Neiman Marcus. Both Chanel counters informed me they sold out the day they had received Vamp. I was put on the waiting list. Unfortunately, the waiting list was am mile long and I never did get my hands on that coveted bottle of Vamp. Lesson learned, never pass up the last bottle of Chanel nail polish!
Now that Chanel is showing Vamp for the holiday 2014 season alongside Phenix, I decided it was my turn to test out Vamp; all these years later! I tested out Vamp with two coats of color and one base coat. I definitely missed out on Vamp back in the 1990’s. Why oh why did I pass up that bottle!?!? I love Chanel Vamp! This nail polish is a beautiful, deep burgundy; and when compared to the dark, almost black nail polish hues we have been enjoying over the past few years, it looks light in comparison!
If you would like to get your hands on one of Chanel’s most coveted nail polish hues of all-time, Chanel Vamp can be found online here and here. And yes, it is already sold out at some stores. The Vamp frenzy returns!
Pictured: Christian Louboutin “Wherever” nail polish.
Since blue is my favorite color, and it happens to be one of the most important color trends for the upcoming spring 2015 season, I had no choice but to test out Christian Louboutin’s “Wherever” nail polish hue from the “Pops” collection. Wherever by Christian Louboutin is a beautiful, rich dark blue which is almost navy; making it a good transition color from the cool winter months into the early days of spring. Love that!
Christian Louboutin Wherever nail polish is long-lasting. The nail polish lasted a full week without chipping; and that was without a top coat! I used one base coat and two coats of color. As with other Christian Louboutin nail polish hues, I find it hard to apply because the brush is sooooooo long! It is a little bit difficult to balance and guide the brush, although, after using it a few times, it is possible to develop a rhythm and be able to paint your nails without making a mess.
Aside from the awkward application brush, Christian Louboutin Wherever is an ideal classic nail polish for anyone’s collection. It is a timeless shade of dark blue which can flow easily from nautical spring styles to colorful summer ensembles. Wherever can go into the cool months of fall and blend well with classic autumn navy. When fall turns to winter, Wherever is there to play winter blue. So Christian Louboutin knew what he was doing when he named this light navy shade “Wherever.” Wherever can truly take you wherever you want to go; twelve months of the year. Love that!
Christian Louboutin Wherever nail polish is part of the “Pops” collection and can be found on here and here.
