I had planned to present at least one of the Dior nail polishes for Christmas but forgot to take some photos. Hence this post is dedicated to Misty Shadows, which was a birthday present given to me by my daughter. We spent last weekend in Nienburg and I applied this metallic blackened green (I think it also contains a tad of blue) the same day.
Two coats shown below. It’s actually iridescent (which it says on the bottle too), shifting from dark green to a purple shimmer.

In my stash, Deepness is quite unique. This, yes, deep dark – almost blackened – green contains a slight golden shimmer, which is barely visible after application. (It’s barely visible in the bottle too.)
Two coats shown below.

For those of you who might wonder – I’m quite happy with my job situation now. I’ll finish my second week at the bookshop tomorrow and I really like it. The staff is sweet, I get along well with the customers and like interacting with everyone. Being among books is amazing and there is always time for checking out books, so miy wish list keeps growing!
I quit tutoring maths because I need my free days for myself (and my daughter), and although I got along well with the pupils and am generally into maths, I can’t deliver lessons when parents are unwilling to pay an appropriate fee; I didn’t even charge that much but some wouldn’t pay an amount equal to a medium-sized Starbucks. Nevertheless it is easy finding pupils, so if I am in need of some extra money, I will be offering maths tutoring again. But for the time being, I try to adjust to a new life.
These are recent photos. Métropolis and its colour family are typical autumn shades. Two coats appliedl Love the little fir cone in the background, too.
Dark (Christmas tree 😉 ) green, which really makes me looking forward to the season.
Two coats shown below.
I went out yesterday to do some Christmas shopping, enjoying the festive decoration everywhere. This is at Levantehaus in Hamburg.
In the end, I bought some funny Christmas jumpers. 😉 Of course my favourite one of these is the one on the right: It’s a skating bear with nerd glasses. 🐻
Hello! I’ve stayed in Hamburg over the weekend but took some time off the Internet and the more I have to catch up with now when it comes to work and organising stuff. Nevertheless I had a wonderful weekend.
Here is another green, an older one: Nawsome Sauce by ManGlaze.
Two coats shown below without top coat. And, yes, even though it looks glossy, it’s actually matte (but with shimmer).

One of my latest Chanel nail varnishes is Vert No. 31. Dark green. I purchased this at the Chanel Beauty Boutique in Hamburg and it’s really brand new. I can never get enough of greens and will of course show you the other green-themed two colours of this collection soon.
Two coats applied.
Natural light.
It’s Mother’s Day today but I seriously did not have it in mind when picking Don’t Tell Mama last night. I rediscovered this blackened green, containing tons of teal shimmer, in my stash and was just in the mood for a darker colour.
Application was two coats.

My daughter put this on her nails yesterday (she’s doing her nails on her own now 🙂 ) and I thought I could post this – with my own nails. Chrome Paradise combines dark green, grey/silver and purple shades with an iridescent shimmer finish. Quite complex and pretty.
Two coats applied.

There we go again; I had quite a few things to do and to prepare (and still haven’t carved the pumpkin for tomorrow, to put outside my mother’s place), but finally, here is Vert Obscur. This is a dark green, slightly blackened and with a jelly-ish formula.
Two coats applied. With one coat, Vert Obscur is rather patchy and sheer, while after a second coat, it also becomes very dark (but the green still being noticeable).
I like this colour very much! Moreover, I got the impression that Vert Obscur is similar to Orly Le Chateau. I wiped them both on a tissue, and their colour and finish turned out to be pretty close.
Fantasy Filmfest starts tomorrow (at least in Hamburg) and I was happy that I could pick the latest Dior nail varnishes yesterday – because it would have been difficult otherwise, since I am going to spend lots of time at Savoy movie theatre. This is the most exciting time of the year! 🙂
As for Métropolis, I guess it’s my favourite of the Dior autumn polishes. I instantly fell for this dark muted green, containing a proportion of grey.
Application was two coats. Unfortunately, cloudy skies again and lots of rain. Can’t really imagine that the weather is said to be getting better towards the weekend but I hope for sunshine!
