Gucci has released their spring/summer 2016 color collection, and it is fabulous; with a bit of a bad girl vibe. The collection includes two lipstick hues, an eye shadow duo, and one amazing nail polish color. Love!

For the nails, Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish is a dark, grey-purple hue which is surprisingly easy to wear with a spring, or summer, color palette. At first glance, the color appears to be a autumn hue.

This troubled me when I first looked at the color; I feared it would clash with my spring pastels, and summer brights. I was wrong! Dark Anemone by Gucci blends well with pastels, giving them a grown up feel. When paired with bright summer hues, Dark Anemone tones them down; adding a bit of mystery. Love that!

What I love about Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish, is that it is a great alternative to neutral polish. It blends seamlessly with any color combination in my outfits, making it as easy to wear as a nude polish. I definitely see myself wearing this color in lieu of blue when I need more versatility this spring in my nail polish color.

I tested out Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The polish lasted six days before chipping. This is a good run! I look forward to wearing this polish sporadically throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Have you seen the lipstick colors Gucci is offering for spring/summer 2016? Although I have already filled in my spring lipstick wardrobe, I am tempted to pick up both of these hues. Aren’t they pretty! Carnation is definitely calling my name; and Lilac looks perfect for a night on the town. Oh the temptation!

Dior Cruise nail polish is a fabulous new color from Dior’s summer 2016 beauty collection. This sparkly, pink hue is so pretty and perfect for summer 2016, love!

Pink nail polish is a hot beauty trend right now, and Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016 is a fabulous way to rock this trend right now, and into the summer season. The nail polish is a bright, vivid pink, filled with sparkles! Who doesn’t love sparkles 😉

Cruise by Dior is an easy nail polish color to wear on a daily basis. Pink nail polish is considered neutral, so it blends well with different beauty looks, and any color palette. It feels like a natural color to wear. Love that!

I tested out Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016 with one base coat, two coats of Cruise, and one top coat. The nail polish is incredibly long lasting. It lasted a full week. The reason I took it off was due to nail growth.

The application brush on Dior’s nail polish also needs a shout out. I love the application brush. It is on the thick side, yet it offers a flat design. This allows the nail polish to glide on easily, without a mess. The brush applies the polish without gaps, and the brush design keeps polish off the sides of my fingers. Love that!

Dior Cruise nail polish is a fun color to wear on warm sunny days. The sparkles catch the sun when I am outside, and of course, they shine! It makes the polish lighthearted, and fun; just like summer!

I absolutely adore Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016. This will be a great color for everyday wear; definitely a go-to neutral for the summer months. If you are looking for a fun, and fabulous, pink to wear this summer, Dior Cruise nail polish is your color!

Dior Cruise nail polish from Dior’s summer 2016 beauty collection can be found online here, and here.

Stay tuned! My review of Cosmic is coming up in a few days!


Desigual spring 2016 New York Fashion Week

Desigual showed their spring/summer 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week in September. It was an amazing collection filled with Desigual’s signature bright colors, whimsical prints, and chic silhouettes.

The handbags on Desigual’s spring 2016 runway were a nod to the continuing bucket bag trend, and the current saddle bag trend. Desigual’s handbags were shown in bright colors; perfect to complete an ensemble of bright prints, or to wear with a neutral outfit as a pop of color or key piece. Love that!

I love the printed skirts, striped tops, and flowing pants. Desigual’s spring 2016 collection is amazing!
