Dolce & Gabbana Dora classic cream lipstick holidays 2015

Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a bright red, classic cream lipstick. In the tube, Dolce & Gabbana Dora appears to be an orange-red hue. When I applied it, the color seemed slightly more pinkish than orangish; as it had looked out of the box.

I am not sure if it became a pink-red due to my natural lip color, or if that is how Dolce & Gabbana Dora is meant to perform. Nevertheless, orange-red lipsticks scare me, so to see it take on a pink-red format after application was a breath of relief! I just don’t do orange.

Dolce & Gabbana’s collection of classic cream lipsticks are a must-have in anyone’s make-up wardrobe. They are mousturzing, long-lasting, offer a smooth application, and provide fabulous color saturation. Normally they look the same in the tube, and on the lips; Dora is an anomaly for me. An anomaly in a good way! I love pink-red’s!

Now that the holiday season is in full swing, Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a fabulous classic cream lipstick to have on hand. It is a festive, bright hue, which adds a little bit of “party” to any ensemble; casual or dressy. This is also a great alternative to classic, fire engine red lipstick hues.

Dora by Dolce & Gabbana is a great red lipstick to keep on hand throughout the year; it is not just a holiday color. It will work well with any color palette; and is the perfect way to brighten your face when wearing classic black. Classic red lipstick + classic black = perfection 😉

If you have not tried Dolce & Gabbana classic cream lipstick, Dora is a great color to get as your first tube. This is an easy red to wear, and it isn’t too bright; like most classic red lipsticks. Love that!

Nars Hard To Get nail polish from the Steven Klein beauty collection for Nars

Nars Hard To Get nail polish is a fabulous, deep, dark chocolate brown nail hue which is downright fabulous! This naturally neutral tone offers a cool brown color which is three dimensional with a very slight, shimmering finish. Love!

This fabulous neutral brown is unlike other brown nail polish colors on the market. While brown tends to be a warm color, Nars Hard To Get nail polish is a cool brown; giving it an unique look. This is the perfect cool brown to add to your nail polish wardrobe! Since it is a cool color, it looks amazing with silver, and white gold, jewelry!

I tested out Nars Hard To Get nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before I needed to change it due to nail growth. Love that!

Nars Hard To Get nail polish is an easy color to wear on a daily basis. It blends well with the winter color palette; as well as the holiday color palette. Since Nars Hard To Get is a neutral nail color, it will also glide easily into the resort season.

If you are not familiar with Nars nail polish, it is a high quality polish which is highly ship resistant. I love the applicator brush which does not clump, and is the perfect width. Nars nail polish always glides on easily, and streak free!

If you are looking for a fabulous neutral nail polish for your collection, or to wear as your current signature nail polish, then Nars Hard To Get is an ideal color. It looks amazing with any color of apparel, and it looks fabulous with white metal jewelry. This is definitely a color I look forward to wearing in any season!
