Dolce Gabbana’s new summer 2014 colors in their Classic Cream Lipstick are inspired by the nuances of Sicilian Roses as well as the velvety touch of their petals. For spring/summer 2014, Dolce Gabbana have added twenty new colors to their Classic Cream Lipstick collection, taking the choice of colors up to forty-two!

Dolce Gabbana have divided the Classic Cream Lipstick colors into six categories including, reds, oranges, corals, pinks and nudes. This ensures there is a color for every mood, skin-tone and look. Each lipstick is inspired by a particular Sicilian Rose; for example, “Mandorla” is inspired by the Alchemist Rose and “Star” is inspired by the Black Rose. 

The Classic Cream Lipstick by Dolce Gabbana is a favorite lipstick of mine. The formula is moisturizing; it never dries out the the lips. The color glides on smoothly without clumping or traveling. The color is true; it looks the same on the lips as it does in the tube. Love that!

Dolce Gabbana was kind enough to send me six new colors from the spring/summer 2014 Classic Cream Lipstick collection to test out, and share with you! Below you will see “Mandorla,” “Delight,” “Petal,” “Devil,” “Fire” and “Scarlett.” All photos were taken in bright shade, outside, late morning with the same camera settings.

Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish is an orange-pink nail polish hue from Chanel’s summer 2014 beauty collection. This playful nail polish color is perfect for sunny summer days. Tutti Frutti’s cheery hue is ideal for having fun with color this summer season. Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish plays well with shades of pink, red, orange and yellow. It is a warm hue which will lend itself well to hot summer days in July and August.

I tested out Chanel Tutti Frutti nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Tutti Frutti by Chanel is great alternative to orange this summer season if you are looking for a warm nail polish color but the orange nail polish trend isn’t your style.

Chanel “Sweet Lilac” is a hot new, pinkish lavender nail polish hue from Chanel’s summer 2014 beauty collection “Reflets d’ete de Chanel.” This beautiful pinkish lavender hue was given the perfect name by Chanel; it surely is a Sweet Lilac hue! 

With Pantone’s color of the year being “Radiant Orchid,” Chanel’s “Sweet Lilac” nail polish arrives just in time for the summer season; giving color enthusiasts everywhere an easy way to wear the year’s hottest hue. Chanel “Sweet Lilac” nail polish is a similar shade to “Radiant Orchid” making it a great way to rock the color of the year.

Chanel “Sweet Lilac” nail polish is an easy color to wear this summer 2014 season. The pinkish tinge inside this lavender hue, allows Sweet Lilac to blend well with cool color palettes, as well as any shade of blue, green, purple and pink. Chanel “Sweet Lilac” nail polish is a middle-of-the-road color making it right between neon and pastel. This allows the  nail polish color to play well with both pastels and neons without clashing. Love that!

I tested out Chanel “Sweet Lilac” with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The polish lasted six days before chipping. Sweet Lilac was easy to apply and the color brushed on smoothly without streaking. 

If you like the idea of a lavender hue for summer nail polish but Chanel Sweet Lilac has too much pink it in for your taste, please check out my review of Dolce Gabbana’s “Lilac” nail polish. It has more of a blue base and is a beautiful lilac hue.
