Chanel Spring 2014 Nail Polish Charivari & Tapage – Coming Soon
Chanel Spring 2014 – Charivari and Tapage
After seeing pale nails dominate the Spring 2014 runways, I feared we were doomed to a relatively color-less season. Thankfully, Chanel isn’t playing that neutral game. Their spring nail polish offerings, Chanel Charivari (soft purple/mauve) and Tapage (bright pink) are bold and vivid.
Lightness and brightness set a fresh, upbeat tone for spring. Inspired by this sunny duality, the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio presents a harmony of pastels, electric pinks and vivid purples in COLLECTION NOTES DE PRINTEMPS.
The contrast of lively reds pairs unexpectedly with pinks and purples to create an infinite array of playful yet polished looks.
The Chanel Spring 2014 Collection Notes de Printemps nail colors officially launch in January 2014, though they are already available on Chanel.com and coming soon to Nordstrom.com and Macys.com. Chanel nail polish retails for $27/ea.
I will have a full review and swatches soon but, in the meantime, are you excited by these new colors? Which one are you gravitating toward?

If my search results tell me anything, it’s that there are lots of CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish fans out there. Whether you read about it online or were introduced to it by your salon, VINYLUX is gaining in popularity for regular salon goers.
During a recent pedicure appointment, I talked VINYLUX with my fave nail techs and they said it’s becoming a big seller. And I know lots of people have been emailing me to find out where to purchase bottles for home use so I wanted to point you in the right direction.
Shop Local
CND VINYLUX is retailed in salons so look for one in your area using the CND Locate tool. You can specify VINYLUX to find salons that carry the line.
Shop Online
There aren’t a ton of online sellers as VINYLUX is a professional product but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Amazon.com
Another online seller, that quite a few bloggers I know buy from, is BeyondPolish.com.
Finally, eBay.com and SleekHair.com both have VINYLUX though I haven’t purchased through either one so I can’t vouch for them.
Thanks to reader Julie-Anne for letting me know that Canadian VINYLUX fans can order through NailPolishCanada.com.
CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish and Weekly Top Coat retail for $9.90/ea for a .5oz bottle.

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome
The China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection makes me think of those 80′s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials. “You got your texture in my chrome! You got your chrome in my texture!”
Essentially, China Glaze has engaged their feather, texture and chrome finish nail polishes in a ménage à trois to create Crinkled Chrome. It’s a bit funky, a bit futuristic and unlike anything any other brand is doing in the texture game.
