Opulent Pink, released earlier this spring, has a metallic finish with a hint of gold. Despite its name, it’s not a color I would typically wear, but I wanted to share a swatch with you.
Two coats shown below.
Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice delicate golden particles.
It’s a quiet day, so why not posting another nail colour? 😎 While looking a bit dull in its bottle, Rivage is a stunning orange with golden and orange shimmer on the nails. I’ll probably be wearing this during the summer swimming season a lot.
Two coats applied.

Tomorrow is a public holiday and I’m happy about the long weekend. Today I’ll be showing off Solar Bronze, one of the new Dior polishes I received a few days ago. It’s a beautiful, shimmery gold with bronze undertones.
Two coats shown below.

Went for a walk early this morning and got a chai latte on the way home. 🙂
Here is Dior Mystic, an elegant eggplant with subtle golden and plum shimmer particles. It’s been released for the Christmas season but definitely suitable for New Year’s Eve, too.
Two coats applied.

After four weeks there’s finally a new post! I saw the Christmas collections and after all those neutrals for autumn we have some outstanding colours for the end of this year. I spent some time on my favourite island, Malta, and when I came back last Monday I received a notification that my Chanel order was ready for pick-up at a post office nearby. Perfect timing I guess. Also my little trip was amazing; we hadn’t been travelling for a couple of years, back then due to my late husband’s mental illness (the acceptance of mental/psychotic illness is still low and it would have been too stressful and exhausting; moreover I took a lot of blame to protect him but led to my own mental health declining; in the end you will just break because you, situations are misjudged all the time), and then followed the COVID restrictions – and I was too scared.
But now everything went just fine, even with the luggage. I used an AirTag to track my suitcase and it helped calming me down. On Malta I swam a lot and we went on quite a few outings with local buses. I’ll be back for sure.
Enough of that – as mentioned above I was stunned by the new Chanels. Super Lune is a blood red (reminding me of the indie film “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” which I saw at the cinema recently and really liked it). Etoile adds golden sparkles.
Shown below is two coats of Super Lune. I’m considering this (or its sister polish, Clair de Lune) for Christmas eve. Of course there are so many reds but this still surprised me.
Super Lune topped with one coat of Etoile.
I tried taking a close-up.
I found this in a sale at Woolworth’s (and got a couple of p2 polishes) because glitters always appeal to me, and this is a bit duochrome in addition.
Lilac Bossa Nova comes with a purple base, which is packed with purple and golden glitter, its shimmer shifting between olive, gold and purple. It’s stunning with the first coat, shown below is two.
I found out that this was released in 2015 – so it’s a while back, and I am glad that I could get hold of it and add it to my stash.

It’s springtime – with Fantasy Filmfest Nights starting next Thursday, my first film event this year. Swatching nail colours in the sun is much nicer too, so Mashrabiya makes the start. I guess it’s been a while since my last A England purchase. Mashrabiya looks brown in the bottle but actually contains some hints of purple, in addition to its golden metallic shimmer.
Here’s two coats applied.
So pretty! A close-up:
Autumn is approaching and here’s Early Bird. A bit hard to describe because, first at all, it’s iridescent and its colours are shifting between lilac, rosewood and silver, topped with what seems like golden shimmer.
Let’s have a look at the swatches. Two coats applied. I’m sure that there is a similar Chanel but haven’t figured out which one, so your suggestions are appreciated. 🙂

I kind of neglected this blog by accident because I had a ton of things to sort out, splitting my time between Nienburg (which is still heavily affected by Corona) and Hamburg, and I am in Hamburg now, having started my new traineeship in the field of software engineering or, to be more precise, data science, so a bit more tech. 🙂 Because of all these recent changes I thought I could present Running Wild. It’s sage (or light green) with a pretty golden shimmer.
Application was two coats, and since the photos are from last year I guess I could wear this again soon. Just my colour scheme.

The name matches the mood. 
Unfortunately today’s the day and I will be off to Hamburg in a few hours, locking myself up in the flat! Hope the trains will run smoothly.
Note my reflection in the bottle cap. 😎 Evasion has an apricot base containing golden shimmer particles.
So much for the close-up, because the shimmer does not really transfer to the nail.
Application was two coats – I was surprised how good it matched with my skintone. So Evasion is actually a classy and chic colour.
