Chanel: Distraction 549

Hey everyone! I've been so busy going back and forth to the city trying to find an apartment, a job, and make a smooth transition to my new university. So far it's been a lot more time consuming and frustrating than I had ever imagined. Apartment searching is not my favorite thing to do, but I can't wait to be all settled into my first apartment! Oh the decorating possibilities! Anyways, I wanted to show you guys a new polish I've been sporting for the last couple days. Summer is here, and to me that means bright happy colors that shine at the beach!

Chanel Distraction is by far my favorite coral for this summer. Corals have been popping up everywhere in department store nail polishes. What sets this lacquer apart from the rest is the fuchsia shimmer, which makes nails look like they have that "glowing from within" look. The base leans more orange-y, but is balanced out by the pink shimmer. Application was a dream, an easy two-coater with even coverage throughout, no touch-ups needed!

So far, I'm LOVING this color. What did you think about the Chanel Spring 2012 collection?  

Chanel: April, May, June

Don’t you just love getting presents? This past Christmas a good friend of mine presented me with the most amazing gift ever. As soon as I ripped off the bright red and green wrapping paper, I couldn't help but shriek in excitement! A beautiful gold and white Chanel box, all wrapped up in a pretty little black bow was in my hands.

The excitement of the box itself was almost as great as the excitement of what was inside: Chanel’s April, May, and June. Also, as a special extra, a little sample size of Chanel’s Levres Scintillantes in Spark. 

Look at all of those little beauties! My favorite would definitely be June, such a unique color. In the bottle it looks like a bright sherbet pastel, but on my nails it looks more orange-y. I’ve gotten a few compliments on the color, saying it looks like an orange creamsicle, how cute! Unfortunately I don’t have pictures of these polishes on my nails yet, but I’ll try to get some soon! Here’s some more eye candy for you guys:

And here's a little peak at the sample of Spark. It's a gorgeous, complex, and glamorous red lipgloss. I don't usually look very good in red lipstick/lipgloss, but this actually looks great on me! 

These colors are very pretty and spring-y. I've come to love creme nail polishes, and these have a really nice consistency. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the colors on my nails so you can see what they look like on. Thanks for reading my first post! If there's any way I can make my posts better etc, please message me!
