The Chanel Cruise 2017 nail polish collection for early summer is here! This is a fabulous collection named “Les Indispensables de L’Ete.” Are you confused yet? Yes, Chanel has given this collection a name which tells you it is a summer nail polish collection, yet the official name is Cruise 2017. Is this a resort collection or early summer collection? I am going with a summer 2017 nail polish collection from Chanel.

Chanel always introduces a fabulous collection of nail color between spring and summer; this is that collection. It consists of four beautiful colors; three of which are traditional warm weather hues while one is avant-garde and edgy. Love that!

The three traditional summer nail polish colors are Coquillage, Sea Whip, and Coralium. All three offer a pinkish-coral hue in varying shades. If an orange-pink nail polish is not your thing, Chanel Sargasso nail polish is a dark, green-blue color which is dark and edgy. It is fabulous!

All four nail polish colors from the Cruise 2017 nail polish collection, which is really an early summer 2017 nail polish collection from Chanel, are from the Longwear nail colour collection. They are long lasting; just like the other colors in the line. Love!

Here are swatches and reviews of the four Chanel nail polish summer 2017 colors in the Cruise 2017 collection.

Chanel Coquillage nail polish summer

This is Chanel Coquillage nail polish from the Cruise 2017 collection for the summer season. It is a creamy orange Popsicle color which is playful and ideal for warm weather. This fun hue works well with the summer 2017 color palette in apparel, which offers a lot of pink and orange hues. It is an easy color to wear daily, and can pass at the office, or for a night out on the town. Love it!

I tested out Chanel Coquillage nail polish for summer with one base coat and two coats of color. The color is a nice cream polish which goes on without leaving any streaks. It applies evenly with the second coat; leaving perfect color saturation. This will be a fun color to wear right now, and into the summer months.

Chanel Coralium nail polish summer 2017

Chanel Coralium nail polish for summer 2017 is a coral nail polish lovers dream. This is the color my mom, who loves anything coral, spotted and tried to take from me! Coralium by Chanel is a fabulous coral hue with pinkish tendencies. It is bright, without being neon, and bold, without being rude, and feminine without being too innocent. If you can only have one coral nail polish in your collection, this is the color to snap up for summer!

I tested out Chanel Coralium nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. It is a cream nail polish and it glided on smoothly. No streaking! Love that!

Chanel Sea Whip nail polish summer 2017

Chanel Sea Whip nail polish for summer is a medium pink with a very, very slight orange undertone. This is a playful yet vibrant pink hue which is perfect on warm summer days. I can’t wait to get a tan on my hands, it will look great with this nail polish!

Sea Whip by Chanel is my favorite of the three traditional nail polish colors from the Cruise 2017 collection, which is really a summer 2017 collection. It is a versatile, pretty pink color which is easy to wear during the day or at night. I am considering wearing this color to an upcoming conference in Texas I will be attending later this week. I think it would be perfect!

I tested out Chanel Sea Whip nail polish for summer with one base coat and two coats of colors. It is a cream nail polish which does not streak. The color applies evenly, giving smooth color saturation . I am in love with this color for summer!

Chanel Sargasso nail polish summer 2017

Chanel has done it again! Sargasso by Chanel for summer 2017 is an amazing, edgy hue which is unexpected for the warm weather season. If you are not a pink person, this is the color for you. It works well with summer’s color palette; making it easy to wear during the day or for evening events. This is a fun color I enjoy wearing when I am not in a pink mood. Love it!

I tested out Chanel Sargasso nail polish for summer with one base coat and two coats of color. Despite the dark color, Sargasso glides on smoothly, allowing the second coat to not be streaky. It offers an even color on the nails, allowing it to look luxurious and rich. Love that too!

So which color from the Chanel summer 2017 nail polish collection do you love? Sargasso and Sea Whip are my two favorites; but I do plan to rotate through all four of them . I love changing up my nail polish color.

The Chanel Cruise 2017 nail polish collection for summer is not available in all stores, you can find this exclusive collection online here.

L’Oreal Paris has introduced a new collection of Infallible Paints. You can see my first post about them here. Although the collection was first introduced in January, there is more to the collection then just the lipsticks I spoke of earlier in the year. L’Oreal also has introduced amazing blushes, eye shadows and eye liners too. Love!

This new collection centers on professional level, high-impact colors which are long-lasting and  stay put; making them extremely comfortable to wear. Since spring 2017, and 2017 in general, is all about the statement lip and playing with color, the new L’Oreal Paris Infallible Paints collection is a must-have!

How fabulous are these eye liners! I have not tried the white one yet, but all of the others I have, and they are so amazing. These eye liners stay put and don’t smear at all. I need that with my busy schedule! The liner offers a .1 mm width; love that! Which color is your favorite? Mine is the “Electric Blue.”

I am wearing “Taupeless” in this photo. It is a classic color with a bit of a modern edge. Love that!

My little eight-year-old son took this photo for me, isn’t he amazing! He told me “the lipstick makes you look pretty.” Ah, a gentleman in the making.

Lacoste has a fabulous, classic fragrance for men which would make the perfect staple in a man’s fragrance wardrobe. Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Powerful is a fabulous eau de toilette for men which is a crisp, fresh scent perfect for spring and summer weather.

This is the ideal fragrance for the man in your life who enjoys casual elegance; the finer things in life without being stuffy. That is the feeling Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Powerful edt evokes throughout its’ fragrance experience. Although initially this scent acts like a fruity floral, it has a masculine, woody base which keeps the floral notes from being sweet. The result is a complex yet sophisticated casual fragrance experience. Love that!

Top notes: Watery Fruits, Pink Grapefruit, Crushed Leabes, Clary Sage

Middle notes: Orange Flower, Pure Air Accord

Base notes: Amber Woods, Patchouli, Oak Moss

My husband is definitely enjoying this fragrance! He wears it to work, as well as on the weekends. It has a light to medium fragrance trail so he can sit in the theater, or at a meeting without the people next to him detecting his fragrance. Love that!

If you are looking to get a head start on Father’s Day shopping, this is the perfect gift! You can find Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Powerful EDT online here.
