Chanel Mistral is in Full Bloom at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Chanel Mistral Garden

If you're a June baby, you'll know that the rose is June's flower! The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is a beautiful and colorful retreat from the rest of the city, and one of the most stunning features is the rose garden. The roses are in their full glory in the month of June - there are thousands and thousands of roses on display in every shade, shape, and size. When my boyfriend and I visited, we wandered around for hours because there are so many varieties to admire.

June is my birth month and last year I was given the pretty Chanel Mistral as a gift :) Chanel Mistral is a putty-pink polish with tiny blue and yellow glitter that looks like sprinkles. This was my first Chanel polish and I must say, the brush is perfection.

This polish applied smoothly and held up well after many days of wear. Sadly, the sparkles are much more apparent in the bottle than on the nail.
