Diorific Cosmic is a beautiful, sparkling blackish-plum hue from Dior’s holiday beauty collection which is limited edition, and selling fast. The color has about a 90% black saturation with about 10% deep, dark plum intermingled in the hue. The golden sparkles are subtle, and glisten in the sunlight. This is a mysterious yet festive nail polish color for the holiday season. Love it!

I have worn Dior nail polish many times in the past, but this is the first time I have tried a bottle of Diorific by Dior. The bottle is slightly smaller in stature, and the brush is twice as short as the Dior brush. The bristles themselves are fashioned the same as the Dior bristles; offering a flat, smooth application process. My only complaint is that I am used to long handles, so the short brush is a little bit awkward to apply. Despite the shorter brush handle, the result is a beautiful manicure which is lang lasting, and downright fabulous!

Cosmic by Diorific is the perfect neutral, yet festive, nail polish hue for the holiday season. It will blend well with any holiday attire in berry shades, blues, and metallics. Diorific Cosmic nail polish also plays well with gold, silver, rose gold, and hematite; making it easy to wear with any jewelry from your jewelry box. Love that!

I am looking forward to wearing Diorific Cosmic throughout the holiday season, and even through the end of winter. It is an easy color to wear, and it feels so chic! C’est magnifique!

The Diorific holiday nail polishes are limited edition and selling out fast. I did manage to find them in stock in one retailer online. You can find Diorific Cosmic nail polish from the Holidays 2016 beauty collection by Dior online here and online here.

Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish review

kendra scott gold leaf transformative coat nail polish

Top coat: c/o Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish for the winter and holiday seasons.

Kendra Scott’s winter collection is here, and as a part of her sparkling line, there are a few, fabulous transformative coats to make our nails sparkle this winter and holiday seasons. Love!

Everyone loves sparkling nails for the holiday season! So, I was thrilled to be able to test out Kendra Scott’s new Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish from her winter collection. I love the gold color, which looks amazing over holiday nail polish colors such as red, green, and black.

The line of transformative coats are offered in gold leaf, silver leaf, and iridescent leaf. In addition to the transformative coats, Kendra Scott has also introduced Black Drusy nail lacquer, and Rose Gold Drusy nail lacquer. The top coats, and nail polishes, are all perfectly on trend, and festive, for the winter and holiday seasons. Love that!

 I love the festive look of the Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish. It adds instant holiday sparkle to any color of nail polish. For the mani featured above, I used two coats of the Gold Leaf transformative coat in order to add more gold to the polish. If you do one coat, the gold leaf is more of an accent. Another idea is to only add the gold leaf to the top portion of the nail, say the top one-third, for a more understated look.

This Gold Leaf Transformative Coat by Kendra Scott is so much fun! I can’t wait to wear it over other colors during the holiday season such as black, green, blue, white, and silver. It will be so festive and fun for all of the upcoming holiday parties this month, and next! The transformative coat is also perfect for New Years Eve nails too! Love!

You can find Kendra Scott’s winter nail polish collection online here. The Gold Transformative Coat can be found online here.

Essie Satin Sister nail polish review for winter

essie satin sister nail polish review winter 2017

Pictured: nail polish c/o Essie Satin Sister nail polish for winter

Essie Satin Sister nail polish is a fabulous dark teal nail color which is perfect for transitioning from fall into winter. This is the color to wear now!

Nail polish trends from the fall season included metallics, reds, pinks, and black. As we move towards winter, and the holiday season, the color palette is not changing too much. We are still seeing metallics, black, and shades of red for the holidays, with the addition of pink hues for the winter season. This makes Essie’s winter collection perfect to wear now, and throughout the winter and/or holiday season. Love!

winter nail trends

The Essie winter collection includes “Satin Sister” which is a green/blue, or dark teal hue that offers a classic fall/winter look. This is the perfect color from the collection to wear as we transition from the fall season, into the winter and holiday seasons. In addition to “Satin Sister,” the Essie winter nail polish collection includes a beautiful classic red hue named “Party on a Platform.”

This classic red is right on trend with the winter season, and it is a perfect color to wear during the holidays too. “Party on a Platform” is ideal to wear alone during the winter season, or topped with a sparkling topcoat such as “Set in Stones” from Essie’s Luxeffects collection for holiday parties.

Essie’s winter collection also includes a beautiful and sparkling gold hue named “Getting Groovy,” which is on trend, and festive for the season. “Oh Behave” is a fabulous pink color which is on trend and perfect to wear towards the end of winter when you want to start thinking about spring. Pink, incidentally, was all over the spring runways, this is a great nail polish color to invest in now, and to wear throughout the cold weather season.

“Ready to Boa” is a fabulous, sparkling burgundy which is also on trend for winter and festive for the holidays. Last, but not least, “Go with the Flowy” is a sparkling white nail polish hue perfect for snow days, New Years, and as a way to lighten up dark winter days. Love these colors!

So far, I have tested one color from the collection, Satin Sister. Essie Satin Sister is such a cool color. During the day, in natural light, it looks like a blueish-teal. At night, under artificial light, Satin Sister appears to be more on the green side. It’s so much fun!

I am looking forward to wearing Satin Sister by Essie often during the winter season, as well as the other hues from the winter collection! Which color from Essie’s winter collection is your favorite?

Stay tuned! I will be reviewing each and every color from Essie’s winter collection this season!
