Chanel Spring 2012 Makeup Collection

In my opinion, the Spring/Summer makeup collections are always the best. The girly pastel colours look great with any colour complexion, the trick is finding the right shade particularly if you’re darker toned. I noticed Boots have just launched this, so I can’t wait to buy the nail polishes, particularly Chanel’s May. According to reviews (I always do my research now, after buying lots of nail polishes and passing them on to my sister-in-law (who’s blonde) because they’re too pale for my nails/complexion), the nail polish gets the thumbs up in terms of application and staying power. Although pricey, I prefer Chanel polishes, they’re just soo easy to work with (apart from last summer’s ‘Mimosa’ – a yellow hue that was really streaky). I just hope I’m not disappointed!
