ysl asphalt grey nail polish spring 2017 review yves saint laurent

Nail polish for spring 2017 is quite different than in previous spring seasons. We are seeing a large number of grey nail polishes, pale pinks, whites, and neons for the warm weather season. While there are many shades of grey out there in the nail polish marketplace, none quite compare to the medium-dark grey hue created by YSL for the spring 2017 season.

YSL Asphalt Grey nail polish is in the perfect place on the grey color wheel. It is not too dark, nor is it too light. It is just right.

This is the first time I have purchased nail polish by YSL. I have used a few of their cosmetics before, but never before have I tried Yves Saint Laurent nail colour. The nail polish went on smoothly, and the brush was a good, manageable size to work with. With two coats, YSL nail polish not streaky; and left a solid, smooth color on my nails. Love!

I tested out YSL Asphalt Grey nail polish for spring 2017 with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The polish last six days before chipping. This is a decent length of time considering I was not wearing a top coat.

YSL Grey Asphalt is a great nail colour for the spring 2017 season. It is a neutral hue; making it easy to wear with any of the seasons color palettes, plus, there is something fresh about the color grey. I know, grey? fresh? Yup. It feels fresh and right this season. Who knew?

One of the big trends off the New York Fashion Week runways is denim. Denim for spring 2017 is a hot trend this year. We are seeing denim in dark, medium, and light washes. The American fabric, originally inspired from sailcloth made in Genoa, Italy, is being found on every type of clothing and accessory piece you can think of for spring 2017. This is the fabric of the season!

Since I am already a huge denim fan, I have had my eyes wide open when shopping for spring 2017. When I spotted this top by TopShop, I knew it had to be mine! I love the funky buckle details, and shirred hemlines. It is a classic top, reminiscent of 1960s silhouettes. This makes it modest yet eye-catching. Love that!

I love how it looks when I wear it with black skinny jeans. As the weather gets warmer, it will be cute to pair it with a pencil skirt.

What are your thoughts on the denim trend for spring 2017?

l"oreal spring 2017 lipstick collection

Pictured: New lipstick colors for spring 2017, and a whole new collection; L’Oreal Paris Infallible Paints Lipcolor.

Aren’t the colors amazing! The paints will be fun as the weather gets warmer; and also for nights out on the town!

L’Oreal Paris spring 2017 lipstick collection:


l'oreal lipstick spring 2017 review

There are three fabulous types of lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris to wear this spring 2017 season. The new Infallible Paints Lipcolor, Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss, and two fabulous shades of L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche lipstick.

The new L’Oreal Paris Infallible Paints Lipcolor collection includes 14 new lip colors! They fill in the lip with bold color; which is a huge street trend right now. The intense color is bold, and for me, more of a nighttime lip color. They are statement-making colors which are a-ma-zing!

Like all lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris, the Infallible Paints don’t dry out your lips, and the color stays put. Love that!

Of course, L’Oreal Paris is also showing their fabulous Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss for spring 2017 in Statement Nude (316), and in Shanghai Scarlet (308).  These colors are perfect for spring; Statement Nude is in line with the beige lip trend, and Shanghai Scarlet is a classic, spring/summer red. Love!

If you are looking more for a classic lipstick, L’Oreal Paris has you covered. The two perfect hues for spring 2017 from the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche lipstick collection are Blushing Berry (590), and Raisin Rapture (892).  Blushing Berry is a classic, medium berry hue which is perfect to wear on a daily basis. Raisin Rapture is a bold, dark berry which fits in perfectly with the current vampy lip trend for spring 2017. Love!

My absolute favorite color from L’Oreal’s spring 2017 lipstick collection is the Color Riche lipstick in Blushing Berry, color number 590. Berry hues are hot in lipstick for the spring 2017 season, and this is an easy, everyday berry lipstick. It matches everything! Love!

As you know, I tend to shy away from cream lipstick, but L’Oreal’s Colour Riche lipstick collection doesn’t smear, run, clump, or dry out lips. It is one of the few cream lipsticks on the market I recommend. It is my go-to cream lipstick this season!

Which color from the L’Oreal Spring 2017 lipstick collection is your favorite?
