Chanel Le Vernis Sweet Star
Unfortunately this shade is limited edition so I don't think they are selling it online. I found mine at Bergdorf Goodman, so you may want to call your closest Chanel to see if you can find one.

JINsoon x Tess Giberson Collection With Swatches
My JINsoon collection is now beginning to reach epic proportions. Every time she comes out with a new seasonal launch or collaboration (remember this one from last year?), I am compelled to try them all, and this new JINsoon x Tess Giberson collection is no exception. I am not going to lie and say that I am not wooed by the shiny and sparkly bottles of Chanel, Dior and Tom Ford, but frankly when it comes down to wearability, these polishes are truly some of the best around. They dry immediately and last the longest out of my entire collection of nail polishes (and I have A LOT of polishes - ooooops).
I definitely had my favorites from this launch, with my initial stand out being Heirloom, the metallic teal. It's so different and quite a conversation piece when on the nails. Melange is a chunky glitter polish that you will need extra time to remove, but the color is a muted metallic which is a nice change from those liquid metal style shades that are often too reflective for day. Farrago is probably one of the most unique colors and blends a deep aubergine with very fine gold reflective particles. I feel like this will be in contention with Nocturne for the shades I will wear the most. I love Nocturne because it is not as severe as a standard black polish, and has some dimension with it's silver metallic shine and deep concrete gray base. Pastiche is the color that will probably take me into the warmer months and could be worn all year.
Another winning collection from JINsoon, and as usual her polishes continue to wow me with their quality and long wear. If you are looking to add some additional JINsoon shades to your collection, I highly recommend Coral Peony and Blue Iris from her Botanical Flowers collection, Azurite and Epidote from her JINsoon x Tibi collection as well as her entire Color Field Collection.

Deborah Lippmann New York Marquee Fall 2014 Collection
I'm not ready to let go of summer, but I can talk fall beauty all day long. I had a chance to try out the new shades from Deborah Lippmann's fall collection, "New York Marquee", and they are a metallic lover's dream.
The above swatches were done with just one coat so you can see how opaque the formula goes on. There is a bit of streaking as with most metallic colors, so you do have to start with a thin coat and make sure you apply evenly. But I think there is nothing more appropriate for fall then metallic shiny nails. I haven't yet worn the formula, so I can't speak to how long they wear, but as a strong Deborah Lippmann aficionado (see all my previous DL swatches here), I can imagine they will wear quite well as do all her other colors and formulas. They are now available on the Nordstrom website or Deborah Lippmann's website. Stay tuned over the next few weeks and I will be featuring them each separately for my Sunday Nailday series.
