[Chanel] Oiseau de Nuit (#141)

Among the new Chanel nail colors, Oiseau de Nuit has become a favourite! I’m already wearing this dark plum shade for the third time in just four weeks.

Two coats shown below.

[a england] Van Helsing

Spring has arrived and to celebrate, I wanted to share this stunning holo polish with you – Van Helsing! I tried it a few weeks ago, and it’s a mesmerizing plum shade with holographic glitter.

Two coats shown below.

I’m excited to attend the Mensa board games night tonight and looking forward to my trip to Nienburg tomorrow. I plan on spending the rest of the month there, enjoying this beautiful place.

Diorette 988 again

Here are more recent photos of stunning Diorette 988, which I rediscovered when looking into my berry colours. It’s still pretty, shown below is two coats.

[a england] Mashrabiya

It’s springtime – with Fantasy Filmfest Nights starting next Thursday, my first film event this year. Swatching nail colours in the sun is much nicer too, so Mashrabiya makes the start. I guess it’s been a while since my last A England purchase. Mashrabiya looks brown in the bottle but actually contains some hints of purple, in addition to its golden metallic shimmer.

Here’s two coats applied.

So pretty! A close-up:

[A England] Camden Town

It’s been a while since I dedicated a post to A England and moreover, these photos are still from last year. But Camden Town, of course, hasn’t lost its beauty! Base colour is a mixture of plum and eggplant, with a scattered holographic finish.

Two coats shown below.

I’m the most happy person because swimming pools are open again, so this week I was at the outdoor pool in Nienburg (which was pretty empty – great for training though). Pools in Hamburg are crowded, but  nevertheless I’m looking forward to going swimming on Sunday.

[Dior] Pine Cone (#985)

Pine Cone is the sister polish of Camel and that’s why its release was limited to Asia last year. I purchased mine from the Dior online shop.

Photos were taken only on the second day of the mani (which I think was because of bad weather and no appropriate lighting in the house)  – so you’ll notice that the finish is already looking a bit dull.  Shown below is two coats, which might still give you an idea of the colour.

[Dior] 9 A.M. (#881)

I owe you 9 A.M., the forth of Dior’s nail colours for autumn. It’s a dusty plum and a bit on the darker side, giving it a classy touch.

Two coats shown below; the sky was cloudy and I was hoping to catch a ray of sunlight … should have tried at 9 am probably. Or just be wearing this again.

[Dior] Sauvage (#924)

Three more days regarding Fantasy Filmfest, and I’ve already watched 30+ films so far. Hence there is not much time for anything else, although I managed to get a bag of Filmfest Hamburg, starting next week.

As for Sauvage, I have worn this a couple of times since its release but realised only shortly that I had never taken photos. It’s an eggplant shade or dark plum.

Daylight but with cloudy sky. Two coats applied.

Different light.

Artificial lighting (which might bring out the plum).

[Chanel] Prune Dramatique (#628)

And another Chanel, Prune Dramatique. This is a plum shade.

With the weather still being to chilly for my taste, I’m more in the mood for bright colours or at least shades which remind of spring. Nevertheless Prune Dramatique is beautiful (but actually just another plum, cf. Amethyst for instance). Two coats applied.

Daylight pictures are scare and I took this one before swimming.

Correspondingly this was about two hours later after my swimming routine. A bit tip wear but I didn’t mind because I had worn Prune Dramatique for two days already.

Boris & Natasha (OPI) again

Here we have a beautiful OPI nail varnish I have posted before, Boris & Natasha. Plum with crème finish. I felt like applying this again recently.
