Timeless hits of the 80’s! This November, CHANEL launches its Les Rouges Culte De Chanel Nail Collection; three vintage CHANEL reds, that are so gorgeous you’ll want them all! It was the year 1980 when CHANEL welcomed ROUGE FLAMBOYANT, a pure and energetic red that introduced cheerful energy into the new decade. It’s a perfect scarlet red that oozes style and makes a elegant statement. In 1981, LAQUE ROUGE was added to the CHANEL Le Vernis family. It is a deep carmine red that reveals an incomparable elegance. This red is not quite as solid as Rouge Flamboyant but a great red if you prefer more brownish undertones. In 1987, ROUGE N°19 brought a luxurious blush to the classic red with a subtle shimmer to express playful femininity. This shade has more of a pinkish-purple tone to it and the shimmer is hardly noticeable, but still manages to add a girly dimension to this shade. The thing I love, and have always loved about CHANEL polish, is that one coat is all it takes to achieve vibrant, luxurious colour that is an exact colour match to that of it’s bottle.

If you’re not into lipstick but still want to get glossy lips this Valentines day then check out our top lippies – perfect for any occasion… Labello Glamorous Gloss in Red Ruby gives your lips and irresistible shine with a soft feeling. I’m not big on red, but this gloss gives the lips just enough red without making them too bold. Give it a try, you’ll love it. For extreme shine, I absolutely heart Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in Keep A Secret. It’s pretty and pouty. Now I know this is technically a lip stick but Yardley Longwear Lips in Strawberry Daiquiri is the prefect primer for your bold lips. On it’s own the colour is rich and intense – just like a delicious daiquiri cocktail – for a slightly less bold effect, pat a little on and cover with a slick gloss like Nutriwomen Lip Lustre (4) and you’ll get those oh-so-sexy perky lips. Nutriwomen Lip Lustre gives your lips a clear sheen of gloss while it protects and nourishes them. The plumping formula glosses and conditions the lips, reducing wrinkle lines around the lip. Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick in Grand Garnet gives your lips long lasting colour with…
