Cavalier Seul is undeniably beautiful, but describing this shade can be quite a challenge. It combines hints of grey and green, making it best described as a grey seafoam green or greyish sage green – if that makes sense! When I first laid eyes on this shade, it immediately reminded me of Horizon Line, but Cavalier Seul appears to be slightly darker and has a more prominent green undertone.

So I’m still outside Hamburg, appreciating small town life in Nienburg so much and just loving to spend time outside in the garden or during short walks. I went to Hamburg for one day last week because I had to, and it felt strange. Normally I adapt easily and shift between big city and rural area – but I felt so uncomfortable because almost nobody stuck to social distancing, and even less people were wearing masks.
Tower of London was the colour I had on my nails when we came to Nienburg for our long stay, hence mid-March. It’s a beautiful gunmetal shade with holographic glitter.

So I uploaded some more manis; What Is This Feeling is a slightly pastel grey and pretty elegant.
Very good coverage – two coats applied.
First post in March – the second week of which is about to start. I’ve been short of time, i. e. there were so many things to arrange for and organise. This weekend was filled with further training. I’ve piled up more overtime but am happy to take a day off now and then, for compensation.
As for King’s Road, to start with, I am always stunned by how A England manages to release such beautiful holos! This one has a grey and slightly beige base, and the holographic effect is amazing.
King’s Road builds up quickly, and shown below is two coats (where one would have been enough).

Following all these last shades from the pink or purple colour range, here is Kristen. This is from 2011 and I still remember well when I received the package from my friend Judi. Kristen is dove grey with a visible blue undertone. So pretty.
Two coats applied.
I’m wearing Lunar at present – still, because I applied it on Tuesday, then got a heavy cold, and probably I’ll change my nail colour tomorrow. But you may believe me, it is still looking immaculate, without the slightest hint of tipwear. 😯 Amazing; I haven’t had this with a nail varnish for … like ages?!
Lunar is a silver and grey shade, and I also spot a very small proportion of lilac in this. The metallic finish is perfect for this colour.
I am showing you two coats under artificial lighting.
Tried to take some photos during daytime, but without the sun shining, Lunar won’t sparkle.

Honestly, I don’t know whether Lunar (or the sister colour, Solar) is available in boutiques or shops; I purchased mine via the Dior website and think at least online it’s available worldwide.
In my view, Trigger is the most captivating shade of this year’s Dior nail varnishes for autumn. It’s a combination of grey, mauve and lilac, so hard to describe. Not to forget the magenta and silver microglitter particles.
Two coats applied, artificial light.
Natural light or at least outside. I regret that the sun didn’t come out. Nevertheless, some more photos.

My Ciatés (more or less the minis from their first advent calendars) are at my mother’s house and I recently discovered them again. Although this one is called Chinchilla, it’s the perfect dove grey.
Application was two coats – and finally, garden photos in the sunshine again. 😎
I have the summer nail varnishes of Chanel and Dior ready to be applied – but first, it’s Zera. Last week I was in the mood for grey, and this one comes with a subtle green shimmer.
After I had taken the photos I realised that there was still a draft waiting to be posted – since 2012! So here are the old photos, two coats (I guess).

Photos from last week. 😉
Happy New Year – although it’s been 2018 for almost one week. I just realised that this is the first post of this year. I’ve been back in Hamburg for a couple of days and already been a bit busy too … happily enjoying the rest of the weekend.
Grey nail varnishes are so special; I like this colour very much, also regarding clothing. Grey-t to be here comes with a pink shimmer. It’s really there even when it’s hard to see from the photos, argh! 😮
