The Autumn/Winter Polish !

I don't necessarily change up my makeup or nail choices based on the season but if I had to, today's post, features the nail polishes I would pick. 

Clockwise (from top) - Chanel April, Essie Really Red, Covergirl Midnight Magic, Maybelline Blue Freeze, Sportsgirl Bossy Boots

Chanel April - Chanel April is a muted red shade which is perfect for the current season. Its a beautiful color with great pigmentation and texture. 

Essie Really Red - I love a good red all year round. Essie Really Red is a classic bright red. I love sporting red during Christmas as its so festive. 

Covergirl Midnight Magic - A good choice for winters is grey. Midnight Magic is a dark grey with multi colored shimmer. Its a pretty shimmery shades perfect for winter night outs. 

Maybelline Blue Freeze - I love a good navy in winters. Blue Freeze is a metallic navy blue with subtle shimmer which is not visible once applied. 

Sportsgirl Bossy Boots - I love purple nail polishes. I love Sportsgirl polishes, good quality and choices. Bossy Boots is a gorgeous creamy pigmented purple. Love wearing this on my toes as well. 

Which are your favorite polishes to wear in Autumn/Winter ?

Near to Nude Lipstick Choices !

Today's post features some of my favorite nude/neutral lipsticks.

There was a time when I only used to wear nude shades and could not imagine myself sporting a bright lip, but things have changed and I love my bright lipsticks. But having said that, I still like to rock nude/neutral shades. 

I am featuring three lipsticks from my collection that are my top picks for an everyday nude lip. 

Australis Color Lip Inject Mineral Lip Gloss in Burlesque
I have previously raved about this HERE. I love everything about this lip gloss, the texture, the fragrance, the color. Ahhh, its so good ! Its a beautiful mauvy brown color and is a perfect MLBB (my lips but better) color for me. I love that these lip glosses are not sticky at all and smell heavenly.
  
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Soft Rose
I believe this was the first Revlon lipstick that I tried. I love this lipstick. Great formula and awesome, chic packaging. I think this range is discontinued now. I have reviewed this before and it was my second post on the blog, you can check it out HERE

Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in Silhouette
I cannot even explain how beautiful and special this lipstick is to me. This was my first ever high end lipstick. I just love the packaging of Chanel Rouge Allure lipsticks, totally to die for. Chanel Rouge Allure Silhouette is a beautiful mauvy brown color (you can see a pattern here). The texture of the lipstick is nice and creamy. 

Which is your favorite near to nude shade ?

Manicure Monday - Chanel 'April' revisited

This Manicure Monday features Chanel April as the base and accent nails and tips using Essence Sneezy.

I absolutely love Chanel April. This is the only Chanel polish I own. I love the texture, the packaging, the application and the brush OMG, its a fault free brush .. See the Chanel April previous mani HERE.
 

Essence Sneezy is a gorgeos brown color with subtle silver glitter. Its a nice creamy texture. Check the Essence Sneezy previous mani HERE.

Which color are you wearing this Monday ?

Review - Chanel Rouge Coco in Taffetas Rose

I bought 'Chanel Rouge Coco in Taffetas  Rose' from Singapore when I was in the 'obsessing over Chanel' phase .. Well I kind of still am, I find Chanel products so luxe looking n you do feel like treating your self with such beauties time to time.. 

Anyways getting on with 'Chanel Rouge Coco in Taffetas  Rose', its a beautiful magenta shade (with hints of blue n violet) with subtle shimmer (not very obvious on the lips)..

For me, this is one of the wearable bright pink lipsticsks just like my favorite Maybelline 'Hooked on Pink' Color Sensational

The Good

•  Stunning color which IMO should look good on most skin tones (both warm n cool)
•  Good statement lip, but at the same time not that in your face bold
• Will work for both day and night 
• Good Pigmentation 
• Lasts for 4-5 hrs (no lipstick lasts long on me)

The Bad

• It has a rose scent (not very overpowering, but I am not  a fan of rose scents) - may not be a problem for you
• Not very creamy but not as drying as matte
  
  
  Happy Valentines Day to all !!

Chanel Le Vernis in April - NOTD

Chanel Le Vernis in April is  a pretty berry red shade. It is a muted red which reminds me of wine and makes me wanna sing Red Red wine. 

Chanel Le Vernis in April  533

This polish was featured before in my DUTY FREE HAUL from Singapore. This is my first at a Chanel Polish. Chanel Le Vernis in April is a complete winner in all aspects - texture, application, pigmentation, packaging, etc. The formula is creamy and lovely. It applied smoothly and easily. Within two coats you get pretty, pigmented and glossy nails :)

So this was my quick NOTD and review today. I am really enjoying this polish at the moment.

Which is your current hot favorite nail polish ? Have you tried any of Chanel nail polishes ?
