Duri Back to Classics Collection
{The Renaissance}
The Renaissance is a medium lavender shade that reminds me of grape pop. Usually I am not a huge purple fan, but this color is very pretty. Outside in the sun it\’s beyond gorgeous.
{Forget me Never}
Forget me Never is a very bright pink creme. I am thinking this is going to be my go to color during summer. Against tan skin it would be beyond gorgeous.
{Don\’t Think Twice}
Don\’t Think Twice is a deep concrete gray. You know I love my taupes and grays this color definitely did not let me down it\’s absolutely fabulous. When i wore this to the mall a lot of people were asking me what color I had on my nails.
{Almost in Love}
Almost in Love is a cotton candy pink. Two years ago I was looking EVERYWHERE for a cotton candy pink shade. I had found multiple \”cotton candy\” colors but none were at up to my standard. That is until now…. Almost in Love is the PERFECT cotton candy pink. If you love pink this is a must have in your collection.
{Release My Heart}
Release My Heart is a pale apricot pink hue. For spring nudes are definitely the \”in\” shade. This is one of the most gorgeous nudes that I have come across.
{Romeo and Juliet}

Romeo and Juliet is a pearly white. It\’s a fun color to layer over other polishes.

My overall thoughts
I am loving the collection. I am a girly girl and while I love my dark polishes during autumn come spring and some of summer I am all about the intimate colors. Since I am a pink girl my favorite color in the collection is  Almost in Love I will definitely have it on my nails for a good portion of spring.  I am also loving Forget me Never for summer. Of course Release My Heart is my current favorite nude color out of all the ones that I own. So overall this is one of my favorite collections out this year.

This spring is filled with a variety of wonderful trends from pastels and peach to classic nude looks. I have always been one who would gravitate towards a more natural looking lip, and finally this year it can be found everywhere. From the runway to celebrities and the girl next door everyone wants to score this look. Trends and fads will fad so here are my two favorite products for getting nude lips for less.


{Milani HD Advance Lipstick in Classy Nude & Color Perfect Lipstick in Sugar Rim}

Milani\’s HD Advanced Lipstick in Classy Nude will give you the perfect muted lip color and for only $7.99 it\’s a deal even I cannot pass up!
Milani\’s Color Perfect Lipstick in Sugar Rim will give you the muted look, but will also give you a touch of shimmer and glitter for about $4.99
