Dior Lilac nail polish is from Dior’s spring 2016 beauty collection. It is a bright lilac color which instantly grabbed my attention. I am in love!

I have never tried Dior nail polish before. I always had Dior in the back of my mind, but haven’t seen a color before which made me pull the trigger and purchase one. For spring 2016, Dior has two colors which are right on trend with the current color trends for the spring 2016 season; Lilac and Bluette (which I will review soon!). Love that!

I tested out Dior Lilac nail polish for spring 2016 with two coats of color, one base coat, and one top coat. The nail polish is long lasting, and offers beautiful color saturation! Dior Lilac nail polish is a cream polish which needs two coats for full coverage. It is not streaky, and offers a solid color once dry. The brush is a little bit thicker than I am used to using to apply nail polish, but that did not matter. The brush was easy to use, and mess free!

Dior Lilac nail polish blends well with the current shades of pink, fashion is offering for spring. While American designers favored blush, and shades of rose on their spring runways, European designers showed bright shades of pink; all of which play well with Lilac.

If you are in love with all the various shades of blue for spring 2016, Dior Lilac nail polish is the ideal contrast to a blue ensemble. After all, the biggest color trend of the season is to wear blue with a shade of pink! Although Lilac is in the purple family, Dior Lilac nail polish offers more of a pinkish hue than traditional lilac, making it great in-between color if you are not a straight pink person.

I am thrilled with Dior Lilac nail polish, and look forward to purchasing more Dior nail polish in the future. I always love it when I fall in love with a new brand!

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish spring 2016 review

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish for spring 2016, is the hot new nail color from Chanel for the spring season. This nail polish is destined to be the IT color of the season! Is it blue? Is it purple? Well, it happens to be both; depending upon where you are standing.

That’s right! Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks navy blue in the bottle. When applied in artificial light, it is a bright purple hue a few shades darker than last summer’s Lavanda. It also looks purple indoors near a window; throwing the artificial light versus natural light theory out the window. When I walk outside, and the sun shines on the nail polish, or I am in the shade, Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks like a vibrant cobalt blue. Whoa, such a trip!

When I saw the cameleon nature of Sunrise Trip by Chanel, I was thrilled! My two favorite nail polish hues are purple and blue, so to have them in one nail polish is perfection! This is definitely a fun color for the spring season, imagine all the conversations it will start!

I love how Chanel always pushes the envelope with color when it comes to nail polish. Without fail, Chanel can be counted on to set the bar extremely high in nail polish fashion for any given season. Whether they are reinventing a neutral, making red happen, or creating a new color never before seen by the human eye, Chanel can do no wrong. Sunrise Trip is just another prime example of why Chanel nail polish is so fabulous, it is two colors in one, seemingly sensible creme nail polish! Love that!

I tested out Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Sunrise Trip, and one top coat (I LOVE this top coat!!), and it remained chip free! I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish throughout the spring season. It is such a fun and uplifting color!

Sunrise Trip by Chanel also happens to blend well with whichever color you are wearing. If you happen to be wearing a blue hue, it will look blue, if you are wearing a color from the purple family, it will look purple, and if you are wearing green or teal, it will look cobalt! Love it!

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish can be found online here, here and here. If you like it, get it now, because this is definitely going to be one of those Chanel nail colors that sell out quickly before the season is over.

Stay tuned, I will be reviewing two lipsticks from Chanel’s spring 2016 beauty collection next week!

Nars Black Fire nail polish review

nars black fire nail polish review for winter

Pictured: Nars Black Fire nail polish from the Steven Klein beauty collection for winter.

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a an almost-black nail hue from Nars Steven Klein beauty collection. This special winter beauty collection features colors with that WOW factor. I have loved all three of the nail polish hues from this collection! Read my reviews of Night Creature and Hard to Get.

Black Fire by Nars is incredible alternative to plain black nail polish. This deep, dark color is more of a charcoal than a black. There are matte sparkles in the nail polish which add dimension. Nars Black Fire nail polish also has a very slight blue tone to it; making it an incredible, unique nail polish color. Love!

I tested out Nars Black Fire nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Black Fire, and one top coat. The polish lasted a full week; although I tend to credit this amazing top coat for the longevity of any nail polish I test out lately. The only reason I needed to repaint my nails was due to nail growth. I never received a chip in Black Fire! Love that!

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a great polish to keep in one’s nail polish wardrobe. Although a winter hue, Black Fire is a neutral color which can be worn during any season. It works with both warm and cold color palettes; acting as classic as black can be. Now that is perfection 😉

I am looking forward to wearing Narc Black Fire nail polish any time I need an edgy neutral to compliment my look.

For a holiday look, I would recommend topping off Nars Black Fire nail polish with a silver, glittery top coat such as this one.

Nars Black Fire nail polish, and the rest of the Steven Klein for Nars beauty collection, can be found online here.
