Summer is coming, so it’s time to show some more of the new releases. Dune is a shade that underlines my skintone I guess, it’s a nude brown with a hint of sand.
A bit classy yet a perfect fit for summer days at the water (I’m in swimming mood 😎 ). Two coats applied.
Bleached Mauve isn’t new, and I had kind of promised to post this again but with better (daytime) light. So here are new photos, taken while the sun had come out for a few moments. 😎
Sounds strange but this was my actual Halloween nail colour this year. My costume, or better: Cosplay, was Mitsuri from Demon Slayer, who doesn’t seem to wear nail polish, and that’s why I chose a more neutral shade.
Bleached Mauve is still a perfect neutral for my skintone, you guys might remember that I already liked it when I first presented this back in February 2019.
Way before Christmas, most holiday collections have obviously been already released. It’s getting earlier with every new year. I mean I like snacking gingerbread and other Christmas sweets but I’m not necessarily thinking of Christmas nail colours.
Nevertheless, Charm is more of a neutral colour. Dominant colour is rosewood, with a bit of beige and apricot.
In the bottle it might look plain but I found it amazing on my nails (although I’m normally not into neutrals).
Very glossy and applies smoothly.
Afterglow is from the summer (or “Cruise”) collection. It’s a nude beige with subtle golden shimmer – and at least semi-sheer.
When looking at the bottle, you hardly notice the shimmer, and it won’t really show up on the nails too, but it’s there.
Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful, neutral colour, going perfectly with my skin tone. I am pretty tanned now. Because Afterglow is so sheer, I applied three coats and there is still a visible nail line. This shade must look god with French nails, using two or just one coat.
At home, inside.

Here we have the perfect neutral shade for my nail (and skintone), Bleached Mauve. It’s nude beige with a very discreet touch of mauve.
So far, Barefoot in Barcelona has been my favourite neutral from this colour family. But Bleached Mauve is a hint warmer. Shown below is two coats.
Daylight; I’ve had this mani for two days when taking the photo.
I was in the mood for a neutral tone, someday during the summer holidays. I had worn so many bright and sparkly colours, and because the sun was shining every day, I could not resist a more natural look. This is Cutie Pie (the mini bottle), a semi-sheer nude pink.
Three coats shown below. Of course, this would go well with French manicure.
Beige Pétale; this is a sheer beige, which might be perfect for French nails. I’m not that much into transparent shades, especially when they are neutral, and hence don’t wear them too often. Nevertheless I tried this.
As mentiones above, this is definitely transparent, and shown below is three coats. Beige Pétale is not really visible on the nails, but I like the glossy finish.
Favourite location! I’m a keen swimmer, and “Alsterschwimmhalle” is my favourite swimming bath in Hamburg.
Going through my Essence drafts. … & my flaky caty is one of their recent releases, beige nude with black glitter and a finish that is frost and satin at the same time! What is more, look at its cute bottle design.
Two coats shown below, no top coat.

I’m back from Fantasy Filmfest (although I was in Hamburg all the time, of course, but spending time at the movies for almost 12 hours a day is somewhat different …) and, being super crazy about this horror and independent stuff, saw all of the 54 films. 😉
Right now I am wearing Jungle Matte on my nails, which is a brand new Dior. So they ae doing mattes now and kind of re-invented this finish with a formula that is super easy to apply and dries quickly. No gritty surface – just pure matte. Jungle Matte is a nude beige (or light brown) colour.
Daylight, two coats (no top coat, of course).
Artificial light.
I’ve been at my mother’s place for a week now and enjoying it so much. Didn’t tell you that Hamburg has early Easter holidays – so we are taking some time off in Lower Saxony, starting our days with swimming. I swam two kilometres each day except Sunday and it’s so great.
Once I’m back in Hamburg, there will be new Chanels to show. I noticed that I have not posted a nude shade – and an OPI nail varnish – for a while, so here is Barefoot in Barcelona. It’s beige with a proportion of rosewood. Lovely!
Two coats shown below and another premiere for this year: The weather is getting better (i. e. warmer) and thus I am taking photos outside again. 😎
