I had the most recent Chanel releases delivered to Nienburg, that’s why the background is a bit different. Été Indien has an orange hue and a texture that is reminiscent of both jelly and cream. While I appreciate the colour, the texture doesn’t suit my preference.
To ensure satisfactory coverage, I applied three thin coats.
Here’s something for the summer! Although Chanel called it Watermelon, the colour is probably better described as orange with a hint of red, or blood orange. It’s nice and the jelly finish builds up really well.
This is two coats.
I’m planning on changing the blog layout because the current one is quite old, but haven’t decided yet which one I’ll choose.
For the time being this is Dragons Need Not Fear Other Dragons, which I didn’t pick just for its really cool name; the colour is unique too, teal jelly base with pink shimmer and a slight iridescent finish. I saw Bees Knees Lacquer at Hypnotic Polish shop and I think this particular colour was featured on their Instagram too.
It’s stunning, that’s why I took tons of photos.
Direct sunlight, hope this can give you an idea.

I saw swatches of Bees Knees Lacquer (or BKL) on Instagram and added two colours to my last Hypnotic Polish order; this indie brand is amazing! Agent Silverbow is a bright pink with blue-ish shimmer, it seems like a cream-jelly hybrid, but one that’s opaque with two coats.
So it’s two coats I applied.
Couldn’t stop taking photos. 😎 Here you can see how bright this is.

Bye Nienburg and see you soon in November – I’m a bit sad that I must leave in less than one hour, not really looking forward to Hamburg but happy to see my other Bears again, who had been patiently waiting for me for ten days. The following photos were taken in Hamburg a couple of weeks (or months) ago. Rhythm is a blue jelly – or rather cream/jelly hybrid) – with a hint of indigo.
I’m not really into jellies but this one is flashy and I like the colour.
Application was two coats.
Here is this beautiful red again (initial post). I actually wore it twice during the past two weeks; Vodka & Caviar is one of my favourite OPI reds.
Two coats shown below.
It’s still February and Chanel has already released so many beautiful nail colours. This one is Violet Piquant, which also contains a hint of indigo.
Two coats shown below. On the nails, the finish is jelly-ish and glossy.
Daylight.
Sophisticated (which is, although part of this year’s autumn collection, not available in Europe, as far as I know) is a cherry red with “crelly” finish, hence crème and jelly hybrid.
I applied two coats.
Natural light.
This is the colour I am currently wearing, Orange Fusion. It’s more blood orange, containing a certain proportion of red. But jelly finish and a bit sheer. I also got a cardigan of the same shade. 🙂
Because I like it more opaque, this is three coats. Overall, Orange Fusion is bright and glossy.
Blue-Ya surprised me. It’s got a blue jelly-ish base containing blue and green glitter bits. And of course I thought it would be rather sheer – but it isn’t. It turned out to be almost opaque after the first coat. And the shimmer … Stunning!
Two coats applied. Artificial light (bringing out the blue glassflecks).
In daylight, hints of green are clearly visible. Most of the time, however, Blue-Ya presents its blue side.
