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.
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.

This is orange, so really a favourite. I thought I had posted it before but it’s probably because of all those Christmas preparations. Thank you for still finding time to read this.
Two coats applied and the colour lives up to its name.
It’s literally freezing cold outside but Flaming June brings back the summer, at least on the nails. I purchased this golden orange holo for it’s colour.
Two coats applied.

I feel like adding some Christmassy stuff, so here is Arthur with whom I went to Mensa boards games night last Friday. 🐻 I can’t believe that Christmas eve is already next Saturday but I think I did a good job regarding preparations so far, and I’m quite relaxed.
Fantasy Filmfest is scheduled for Wednesday next week and I still haven’t managed getting a programme in advance (although I have my usual festival pass – but like the printed version of the timetable). Felt a bit tired over the weekend. Nevertheless I’ve found some time for Cap Corail. It might not be the season for tangerine orange but let’s just think of pumpkins. 😉
Two coats applied.
Utopie adds to my orange or apricot nail polishes and I already like its colour in the bottle, much like orange sorbet.
Since this is kind of semi-sheer too (like its sister polishes), it is still a bit transparent – with a visible nail line – after applying two coats.
Thank you for still following my blog even though it’s been quiet over the past few weeks. I’ve had a ton of things to organise and definitely a super hard beginning of 2021, which felt like a fusion of 2017 – 2019, compressed to just one week, and it was the toughest start ever.
Nevertheless, somehow I managed keeping up with self-care, resulting in a few swatches, which I still need to upload. For the time being I present Cruise from last year. Bright orange (or tangerine) and hence just my pick.
Two coats shown below.
I miss these summer days (at least the temperatures) but not the bins in the background … 🙄
Hello from Nienburg! I’m obviously distributing my time between Hamburg and Lower Saxony. Here is a shade which I will be wearing a lot during this summer, because it’s orange (with hidden sparkle) and looks so fresh: Go.
Two coats applied.

I started swimming again last week, and while the outdoor pool in Hamburg was horrifying – crowded pool, no proper lanes, had a nosebleed and was scared because of all the people, no distance either -, Saturday and Sunday at the local pool in Nienburg (not my usual swimming bath though, but that one will be open from Wednesday) was just great. Getting back into swimming wasn’t that hard and it feels good being back!
Radiant Arancio is the metallic version of Arancio Vibrante, in case you find this bright orange familiar. This one comes a golden shimmer, which is subtle yet visible.
As for the initial ahde, I liked it very much, and hence the same applies to Radiant Arancio. Here is two coats.

I check the Dior website regularly, for new releases and inspiration. Hence I found Coraloha, a semi-sheer coral base with golden and coral glitter particles. I don’t know the collection it belongs to – any suggestions welcome -, I just ordered it because I noticed that I needed it for my stash, and I don’t know whether it’s meant to be used as a topper either.
Since it’s really sheer, this is three coats, still with visible nail line.
But the colour is pretty and the glitter makes it somehow special. Here it is outside under natural light.
