chanel lavanda nail polish summer 2015 review

Chanel Lavanda nail polish is a fabulous purple nail colour from Chanel’s summer 2015 beauty collection. This bright purple hue is warm and playful; allowing it to work well with summer’s bright color palette. Love that!

Lavanda by Chanel is a cream nail polish color with a sleek, high-gloss finish. The first coat goes on with a thin coat of color. To achieve the bottle color with streaking, the second coat needs to be thick, or else a total of three thin coats need to be applied. The end result is a marvelous purple nail polish which brightens each day. Love purple!!!

I tested out Chanel Lavanda with one base coat, two coats of color (three of my nails needed three coats), and no top coat. Lavanda by Chanel lasted longer than most Chanel nail polishes. It was seven days before I received a chip! I am definitely in love 😉 As a note, during those seven days I did some housecleaning without wearing gloves, and I spent some time in the warm sun. The cleaning chemicals, and the direct sunlight did not fade, crack, or weaken my Chanel Lavanda nail polish. That is a rare and notable occurrence!

Chanel Lavanda will be a fabulous nail polish to wear this summer 2015 season; as well as right now! The color works well with the seasons’ color palette and the nail polish is long lasting. This means spending time in the sun, and enjoying outdoor activities, are a little bit less stressful; you will not have to worry about chipping your nail polish, especially with the addition of a top coat. Fabulous!

Taoray Wang fall/winter 2015/2016 New York Fashion Week. The Salon at Lincoln Center. February 16, 2015.

Taoray Wang showed a beautiful collection for the fall 2015 season. The collection was filled with cozy, warm fabrications of wool, textured wool, and fur. The colors included grey, blue, cream, black, and burgundy. Pants were cropped, silhouettes were boxy, and there was a slight 60’s and 80’s influence. The polka dots were incredible! What do you think of the collection?

One of my favorite spring 2015 collections from New York Fashion Week was Zimmermann. (or, fall/winter since the seasons are reversed down under! Zimmermann is Australian in case you are unfamiliar with them.) I loved everything on the runway, so when their spring collection debuted, I had to have at least one piece! Since my favorite color is blue, I gravitated towards everything blue in the collection. I was surprised to see all the blue since the blue pieces were not shown on the runway in New York.

I instantly fell in love with this skirt and knew it would be perfect for both the spring and summer seasons. This skirt can easily be worn with high heels for a dressy look, or flat sandals for a summery, hot weather, casual look. It could also double as a swimsuit cover-up! Love that!

Also, if you love the necklace I am wearing, it is from Rocksbox! Rocksbox is a fabulous service with a monthly fee which sends you a monthly box of baubles to wear and love, which were hand-picked for you by a stylist. It is a great way to wear new and different jewelry all the time, without spending a ton of money.
