Chanel always introduces a fabulous red nail polish for the holiday season. For the holiday 2014 season, Chanel has given us Phenix, which is a fabulous cherry red nail polish hue. 

Chanel Phenix nail polish is a classic cherry red. The color is vibrant and sweet, making it easy to wear on a daily basis. For the red nail polish aficionado, this is a must-have for collection. Chanel Phenix nail polish is the perfect, classic cherry red for wearing not only on a daily basis, but during any season of the year. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Phenix nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping.

Chanel Phenix nail polish will be easy to wear during the holiday season and into the upcoming resort and spring seasons. The cherry red hue is light enough to work well with resort’s vibrant color palette and spring’s pastel hues. In addition, Chanel Phenix blends well with shades of blue; an important color family as we head into 2015.

Chanel Phenix nail polish, and the entire holiday 2014 beauty collection from Chanel, can be found online here and here.

Nars Alogonquin nail polish from Nars’ “Laced with Edge” winter 2015 beauty collection is a beautiful, dark lavender hue with a generous amount of sparkles. It is soft enough to wear everyday, yet edgy enough to add a little bit of sass during winter’s dreary weather, and dark color palette. Love that!

I started using Nars lipstick and eye shadow back in the mid-1990’s. I always loved the color saturation and cutting edge palettes. For some strange reason, I never got around to testing out their nail polish! When the “Laced with Edge” winter 2015 beauty collection came out, I was actually looking for lipstick! Instead, I found three beautiful nail polish colors from Nars for the winter 2015 season. One of those colors is Alogonquin which is an amazing dark lavender, light purple hue, infused with a generous amount of sparkles. 

I fell in love with both the color and the wear of Nars Alogonquin nail polish. I used two coats of color and one base coat, no top coat, and wore the nail polish for seven days. I only received one small chip on my thumb on day seven! Nars Alogonquin held up really well, and if I had used a top coat, I am certain it would have lasted longer than seven days.

I will be testing out the other two nail polish colors from Nars “Laced with Edge” Winter 2015 beauty collection very soon; so stay tuned!

Chanel Intention nail polish is a new, neutral nail polish hue from Chanel. The sparkling, peachy hue was introduced as a late fall 2014 color.

Chanel Intention nail polish is limited edition and an ideal nail polish color to add to your nail color wardrobe by offering a slight twist on classic nude nail polish. Instead of offering a beige base, Chanel Intention offers a sweet, peachy hue which acts as a nude yet steps outside the traditional nude nail polish boundaries. Intention by Chanel has a slightly sparkling yet creamy finish with high gloss shine. It is a great color to have as an alternative to nude nail polish this season.

I tested out Chanel Intention nail polish from the late fall 2014 beauty collection with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted five days before chipping. Since the color is soft, the chips were extremely unnoticeable. Love that!

The verdict? Chanel Intention nail polish is a fabulous nail polish color to keep on hand for those times when you feel like a nude nail polish, but want something with a little more sass.
