Skieuse is the second nail colour of the latest Chanel release. The colour is a lovely light pink.
I was eagerly anticipating trying this shade, only to find that the formula is akin to its sister Glaciale, i.e., semi-sheer. Consequently, I needed three coats for this one as well, yet a visible nail line persists. Additionally, the application appears somewhat streaky. I don’t think I’ll be attempting this again anytime soon.
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.
Check out this vibrant color that is bound to be a summer favorite! Oopsy Daisy is a bright pink with a subtle magenta and blue shimmer, perfect for catching the sunlight. I stumbled upon it during a leisurely stroll at the local drugstore and am thrilled to have picked it up!
It’s my bear Arthur in the background. 🐻 On the nails, it’s two coats of Oopsy Daisy.

Here’s Arthur with a mango pomelo sago boba from my favourite bubble tea shop in Hamburg.
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.

To me Evanescence seems to be the prettiest colour of the Rêve de Chanel nail polishes. It’s pink with a slight blue undertone.
The texture is a bit on the semi-sheer side but covers well with two coats, as shown below.
Let’s revive this blog! 🙂 There will always be amazing nail colours to show, and here is another Dior: Pink Sakura, which is rosewood pink.
It was released for spring and the first colour of the collection I put on because it seemed pretty unique. Rosewood, in addition, is always a good pick. Two coats applied.
I just noticed that I didn’t post much during the past month, which was more or less because of film festivals – I followed Japan Filmfest online, then went to Fantasy Filmfest, and today is the last day of Filmfest Hamburg, although I didn’t see any feature (unfortunately) because the films I’d picked were not available for streaming, and for some reasons I didn’t make it to the cinema.
Nevertheless, I’m in Nienburg now and for more than one week, hopefully with a little more leisure time. I didn’t bring any new nail colours but still have some draft posts, so here is Égérie for autumn. It’s a pretty, nearly pastel pink with proportions of peach.
Two coats shown below.
I’ve got a couple of unpublished swatches (or rather, manis), so here we go – Pétale is a sweet pink, which was available at the Chanel Beauty Boutique.
Two coats applied.
As for the weather, it’s not yet spring, and we had quite some stormy days with heavy rainfalls – I felt a bit like in Weathering With You (the wonderful anime), but in the cold. 🙄 Nevertheless, it’s finally weekend! I absolutely like my current job and changed my swimming routine to the later afternoon.
Now for today’s post; Smooth is one of the latest Dior nail varnishes – incredibly pretty, it’s a pink purple.
Two coats applied.
First post in November … I have three jobs now, that’s two more in addition to my long-termin job as a proofreader for law-related academic publications. In addition to this, I’m a maths tutor, and until the end of this year, I’ll also help in a book shop. That’s quite a lot, but as a (relatively) young widow, I have no other choice. My daughter will be graduating from school in two years and I just want to secure kind of a regular income … moreover, it’s hard to cope with the loss. Last Saturday I went to a group especially for the bereaved of family members who committed suicide and received a warm welcome.
But I don’t want to bother you with this. In the meantime I wore Dream, which is a beautiful fuchsia. I really don’t feel like occupying myself with nail colours at present but I keep doing my nails – and pretty pinks like Dream cheer me up.
Two coats applied.
