Getting cozy with Essie

The perfect red polish to start the holiday season and the name is hilarious Essie Jump in my Jumpsuit. Essie is by far the brand that I can always rely on, in the sense that when I am looking for a specific color I can always find it.

Everybody wants a Trust Fund

A couple of weeks ago, I fell upon this new Montreal based nail polish company called Trust Fund Beauty and was immediately drawn to the name. I am a huge nail polish hoarder and this was definitely no exception. 

The company's motto is to bring out every girl's "inner rich bitch, no matter her financial situation". I think the best part is that Trust Fund Beauty is Vegan, Cruelty-free and is free of the Big 5 chemical ingredients present in most of the nail polishes out there (Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DPB), Camphor, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin). 

Also, who can say no to some crazy nail polish names like "What's a budget", "Big Spender", "Champagne Problems" just to name a few. 

Imagine giving out these names when someone asks you what's the name of your nail polish colour, I just can't wait ;p

And what's amazing is that they actual last a good 5-6 days on your nails without chipping !

Nail of the Week : Chanel Dragon

 

In time of need : a classic red is always your good option !

 

Chanel's Dragon is the first ever Chanel nailpolish I purchased and that's where the addiction began.

I've had this particular nailpolish bottle for more than 4 years and it's intact. No gloopyness, as liquid as the first day.

 

 

I must admit Chanel nailpolishes are not cheap, they retail around 28$CAN and they do have a bad reputation of chipping after a couple of days.

 

I haven't had any problems with chipping with these nailpolishes, but I think it all depends on the color you purchase.

 

If you are going to purchase a Chanel nailpolish, you must either invest in a classic color or a color that no other company has replicated. For any other color, refer to your favorite drugstore nailpolish rack.

 

This year I want to broaden my horizon in the nailpolish world and discover new companies, I was thinking Deborah Lippmann and Butter London, but do you girls have any recommendations of brands or even specific colors that you know I would love, let me know !

Enjoy !

Nail of the Week : CHANEL Malice

Oh, what can I say, Chanel barely gets it wrong with me !

 

This month I was impatiently waiting for the Chanel Holiday 2012 collection, that I had evidently added to my Fall Makeup Wish list. I got the call from Ogilvy and I was there the following week. To be honest, I really only wanted to pick up this fabby nail polish, so I resisted for the Eyeshadow Quad but..... I might go back :)

 

Enough talk, let's get down to business !

 

Here is Chanel Malice !

 

Now Chanel rarely makes unique nail polish shades but this one hits the spot.

 

Chanel Malice is a dark vampy red that has the right amount of shine, nothing too glittery or sparkly, just the perfect amount of reflection with natural sunlight. It is hard for me to explain how gorgeous this nail polish is. You must think : ''Okay, this girl is cray-cray, it's just a regular burgundy nail polish'', but NO !

 

Once you see it in person, you will know ! This color will never go out of trend and can be kept in your collection for ages !

 

You should definitely take a browse at your Chanel counter, but don't blame me if you end up at the cash credit card in hand ;)

 

Enjoy !

Nail of the Week : American Apparel Neon Violet

This week, I decided to spice things up and put away the vampy reds and the neutrals and go for a nice purple nail polish.

 

I don't know if many of you are aware, but American Apparel sells nail polishes, and to my surprise they have a really good finish and they remain on the nails for a good period of time. They have a wide range of colors from Pastels, to Classics, to Neons !

 

They are around 6$CAN and you can sometimes get them in a pack of three for a cheaper price.

 

Here is American Apparel's Neon Violet, a neon twist to a rasberry purple! 

Soon, I will post my Fall nail polish Favorites, any suggestions ?
