Three new nail shades from Chanel for spring 2013 and the most memorable (there is a nude shade called ‘Emprise’ and a oxblood burgundy hue called ‘Accessoire’) is perhaps ‘Fracas’.
The deep rich pink hue is bound to cause a fracas (could it have been named any better?) with nail lacquer enthusiasts.

On the beauty counter this week….
Malice (637) nail varnish by Chanel
When the powers at be at Chanel are making us lust after their nail lacquer, they are making us lust after their nail lacquer. Just when I fall irrevocably in love with one shade then along comes another. This time it is Malice. Red glitter meets black shiny sheen for a shade that is part of Chanel’s 2012 holiday nail polish collection.
Available here.
Through the fire nail varnish by Deborah Lippmann
Lippman pairs the richness of a deep merlot red with hints of black and a metallic finish. Add the fact that it is free from harsh ingredients common to lacquer such as formaldehyde, toluene and DBP and this color from her fall 2012 becomes the one that is a must add to your beauty counter.
Available here.

Smith’s Rosebud Menthol and Eucalyptus balm
When a balm that soothes everything from cracked lips to bites, minor burns and stings and more meets a pretty tin. Say yes to one product does many things.
