Lagune is a recent addition, both to my collection and to Chanel’s latest nail colour releases. It boasts a stunning ocean blue metallic hue.
Eager to see how it looked on my nails, I wasted no time in swatching it right after picking it up from the post office.
I applied two coats for this quick swatch, foregoing the use of base or top coat. Rest assured, I’ll be wearing it again for a proper manicure in the near future.

Here is the first nail varnish of 2024, white Glaciale.
I applied three coats, but the result is a delicate, transparent layer of white. While the color is lovely, the sheer finish isn’t my usual preference.
Continuing with the festive vibes! Tuxedo is a muted gold perfect for the Christmas season.
Application was two coats.

Just some random Christmas vibes. Enjoy the holidays.

I seem to have posted so many Diors recently, so here comes another Chanel (and by the way, I got their autumn nail colours yesterday, really classy). The original Frenzy was released in 2012 when “greige” was a thing. With the 2021 edition, Frenzy is more beige-leaning and with a tiny splash of rosewood, hence looking more neutral.
Two coats applied. Yes, it’s nice and fits every occasion, for sure.
But I prefer the inital Frenzy colour (on the left), because of its grey.
Happy Easter! I’m still here and hope you are doing fine.
I didn’t have much time for posting and didn’t spend much private time in front of the computer either; when you are in video chats, and coding, full-time and on every weekday, you might feel like wanting to get away from the screen. And I didn’t realise that it was almost Easter. Right now I am in Lower Saxony and happy about some days off. It’s not exhausting doing Data Science but there are always so many other things to do. So, I hope you are having a good time too. 🙂 Of course there will be some nail colour posts coming up soon!
Here is a pretty colour for spring, Anthurium. Red with a tad of berry and pink. I spent this week in Nienburg and am going back to Hamburg in one hour, so this is a bit rushed but anyway, I wanted to post this for so long.
Two coats applied. This is still available because it’s part of the current spring collection.
Leaving you for now with this photo of the beautiful Nienburg churchyard.
Statues here (in the photo, it’s Widukind of Saxony) are wearing face masks too, of course. 😎
Referring to the current COVID-19 infection rate and everything resulting from it, I decided to present Into the Unknown today. Instead of granting work from home just for the sake of everybody’s health, the company I still work for insists on teaching face-to-face and I have no idea how this might end. So much for social businesses.
Nevertheless here is dark indigo Into the Unknown. I bought this in Nienburg at the beginning of October when the new colours were released, and this is part of the standard range.
Two coats applied. Without the cloudy sky, the colour would have shown even more stunning. It’s so pretty and outstanding, like a real statement shade.
As said above, sorry for not posting (although I know that I probably don’t have to be). Last Monday, my partner took his life. You might have seen in my Instagram. I guess there are things more important than nail colours …
As for recent news, I’ve just managed linking my Instagram account: japanetteably. (I’ve had this for a while but never realised that I could mention it here.) The widget can also be found in the sidebar when clicking a post. However, I’m only publishing nail stuff from time to time and mostly random stuff, especially photos of my Bears :bear:, swimming, stuffing myself after swimming, film festivals … Feel free to check them out and follow me.
Having just mentioned films, Japan Filmfest starts on Wednesday. Thus I will be busy until Sunday and there won’t probably be any new posts in the blog. Since I came home today with the Dior Wild Earth nail colous for summer, here they are:
I won’t be trying them before next week and might start with Orange Sienna.
