Chanel Le Vernis in Frenzy Is Gorgeous!

I couldn’t really think of any other title for this post because Chanel Le Vernis Frenzy from their Fall 2012 collection is beyond beautiful. Just gorgeous! It is the perfect grey-ish nude, with a gentle lilac tone that keeps it from being too pasty or chalky. I feel like it could work with many skintones, as it is warm and cool at the same time. Genius tone, as only Chanel [...]

 

Lippmann Billionaire Is A Beauty!

I’ve been looking for the perfect dark green nail polish for awhile now. I’ve had a few that really screamed “This colour is NOT for the over 40 crowd” and were just too juvenile, sparkly or bright. I have and adore Chanel Khaki Vert, but that is more of a muted neutral green. I’ve been thinking a deep dark almost black green, and with no shimmer preferably. Well, I pretty [...]

She has a knack for tracking these beauties down and for that, I am eternally grateful! This colour is rich and heavy, and makes me think of those magnetic hematite stones. I feel strong when I wear it. And of course, it is Chanel so the formula [...]

 

Subtle Beauty: Butter London Yummy Mummy

File this one under all things soft, subtle and neutral. Coco Chanel famously said “I take refuge in beige because it’s natural”. Here, here I say. As much as I love a pop of colour when it comes down to feeling comfy, cozy and at ease, neutrals are where I want to go. In cosmetics, neutrals are easy to wear, and in my opinion are the best way to compliment [...]

 

Weirdly Beautiful: Les Khakis de Chanel Khaki Vert Nailpolish

If you are into nail polish and beauty, you know the massive cult appeal of Chanel’s limited edition releases. Some make it into their permanent collection and others just sell out as soon as they hit the counters. Les Khakis de Chanel was a much anticipated collection- photos and swatches of the lovely muted colours have been circulating on the internet beauty blogs for months. I got the edgy Particuliere [...]
