Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is one of two colors Chanel introduced for the holiday 2016 season. Pink Rubber by Chanel is also part of the “Velvet Nail Lacquer” collection which is a type of matte nail polish.

If you are a fan of matte nail polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is a dainty, pale matte pink polish which is feminine, and acts as a neutral. This is a great color to move through the holidays, into the resort season, for finishing the winter months, and transitioning to spring. This is the color that can do it all!

Pale pink nail polish is a huge trend this winter season. The hottest colors in winter and holiday nails include pale pink, shades of red, and metallics. If pale pink is the nail polish trend you want to follow this season, Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is the way to go!

The matte finish of Pink Rubber gives a modern edge to an otherwise classic, and feminine hue. As with all Chanel nail polishes, Pink Rubber is long lasting. I tested it out with one base coat, and three coats of color, no top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before my nails grew out and they needed to be changed.

Pink Rubber by Chanel is a pale pink, cream nail polish which needs three coats applied in order to not be streaky. Since Chanel polish is strong, you don’t really need a top coat, so the extra coat of color is not a big deal. So if you usually add a matte top coat to your polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is matte so you don’t need to take that extra step.

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is limited edition, and part of the holidays 2016 collection. It is selling out fast! You can find Chanel Pink Rubber online here.


Renpure Coconut hair care review

One of my favorite bath and body scents is coconut. I loooooove how it smells! The scent of coconut is refreshing, and uplifting; especially after a day in the sun! Although I am reviewing Renpure’s line of coconut hair care products in the cold, late fall months, the coconut scent takes me away from the cold, and transports me to an island paradise on a warm summer day. Ahhhhh.

When it comes to hair care, I always look for two things; a nice scent, and a product which will add moisture to my dry hair. I always blow dry my hair, and I spend time outside in the sun, so my hair takes a beating. In order to keep my hair from becoming brittle, I need to use a strong conditioner, and a gentle shampoo.

Renpure’s Coconut hair care products are so nice to use! I love the coconut scent, and the shampoo moisturizes my hair. Renpure Coconut Milk nourishing conditioner is great with my hair. It leaves my hair nourished without adding weight like some heavy conditioners.

The Coconut Whipped Creme leave-in conditioner also works nicely. Since I don’t use a leave-in conditioner, I gave it to my daughter who recently turned thirteen. She has dry hair, and she is always seeking a conditioner which will give her some nourishment. The leave-in conditioner works great on her hair. She can blow dry her hair, or let it dry naturally, and it is not weighed down or greasy. This is a great leave-in conditioner!

Now, let’s chat about the Renpure Coconut Water replenishing treatment mist. My hair can be dull since it is it’s natural color, and not treated. Renpure’s Coconut Water replenishing treatment mist does wonders for adding some shine to my hair! It is an easy way to add shine, as well as protect my hair while I flat iron or blow dry it. I have used it while my hair was dry, or wet, with equally good results. Love that!

You can find Renpure online here, and online here.

Essie Ready to Boa nail polish for the winter

Essie Ready to Boa nail polish is the prettiest burgundy hue I have ever seen! There is a slight sparkle in the polish, and the color is not too light, and not too dark; it is pure perfection! I need to fling a boa over my shoulder, and I need to display the “Ole!” emoticon to fully convey how fabulous this color is!

I tend to shy away from red nail polish colors, but this burgundy hue is so pretty; I want to wear it forever! It is so festive and perfect for the holiday season; plus it is a classic, wintry color which is great for the entire cold weather season. Love!

Ready to Boa by Essie is from Essie’s winter collection which consists of six colors perfect for the season. Essie Ready to Boa nail polish is a great, classic hue which can be worn right now, as well as next year during the fall and winter seasons. It is a great nail polish wardrobe staple. Love that!

For testing purposes, I wore Essie Ready to Boa nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. I did not use a top coat. The polish lasted a full week with one chip on my right hand; I think the chip happened when I was cleaning the kitchen without wearing my gloves. It was a small chip, so it didn’t bother me.

Essie Ready to Boa is a beautiful burgundy nail polish. You can find it online here. If you have a nail polish fan on your holiday shopping list, check out this cute box set of Essie’s winter collection online here.

Thanks for stopping by!
