[Dior] Ready (#120)

Now that it’s finally summer, here is the third colour of this year’s Dior nail polishes for the currently sunny and hot season. Ready is a light yellow, containing a hint of pastel, and it has a slight shimmer finish (which is best visible under direct sunlight).

Two coats applied. The photos were taken in the most beautiful location, which is my favourite swimming bath: “Kaifu” (which stands for Kaiser-Friedrich-Ufer) open air pool. 😎 Love this place so much! I’m going swimming five to six times a week now, having found back to my usual routine.

[Essence] Walking On Sunshine

Here’s (finally 😎 ) what was on my nails for Easter: mustard yellow Walking On Sunshine.

It certainly matched the weather at that time. Two coats applied.

I will miss my garden, but at least we can stay until next Tuesday.

[Dior] Rush Hour (#502)

My favourite colour from the current Dior nail varnish collection for autumn is Rush Hour. Of course – because nothing beats bright acid green (although this one contains a visible proportion of yellow).

The formula is a bit on the jelly side, and shown below is two coats.

Daylight brings out the yellow in Rush Hour.

My first thought was that Rush Hour might be close to Caprice, but the latter is in fact a bit darker and more green-ish.

[Essence] Mrs. Brightside

We’re having the best sunny weather today, loving it! 😎 I already went swimming (the outdoor pools are open now) and sadly we’ll be going back to Hamburg later during the afternoon. But I am going to collect new Chanel nail colours from the Beauty Boutique tomorrow, so it’s worth the ride back.

Here’s a nail colour perfect for hot summer days, Mrs. Brightside. Bright, flashy yellow – just what you might expect regarding the name.

Two coats shown below.

[Dior] Tutti Frutti (#310)

Finally something colourful – bright canary yellow from Dior’s collection for Spring. This collection, as far as concerning the four nail colours, wasn’t available at my local store, so I ordered them at the Dior webshop.

Because I love yellows, Tutti Frutti is the first shade I picked to apply. Formula is a crème-jelly-hybrid. Two coats shown below.

Photo taken after my swimming session on the next day.

Artificial lighting (which brings out a cooler yellow).

Big Yellow Taxi

Big Yellow Taxi again. I hadn’t been wearing yellow for quite a while, and since my Ciaté nail varnishes are at my mother’s, I pulled this one out. Please find the old photos here.

Application was two coats.

[Essence] Uni-cone

Pale yellow with shimmer and the cutest bottle ever. The name of the collection this one’s coming from is “Happy Kawaii”, and kawaii it is for sure.

Shown below is two coats.

Dior Azur topped with Eclosion

Happy Easter!

I haven’t got a special Easter manicure but decided for something colourful the days before Easter, Azur topped with Eclosion. I was really sick of cold wet (and icy) days and wanted something bright, to invite Spring.

But then it snowed the next day! This was taken after swimming, on my way home. Just notice the snow in the background. 😮

Nevertheless a close-up. Of the nails, not the snow of course. 😉

For the actual Easter days I decided on Glory, which is currently on my nails.

[Chanel] Giallo Napoli (#592)

It’s spring – at least on my nails. I had to wait a bit until Chanel’s spring/summer makeup collection hit Alsterhaus, but when I received their phone call yesterday I was so excited. Here is my favourite of the four new nail colours, Giallo Napoli. You know I love yellows. 🙂

Two coats applied.

Artificial light.

[Dior] Early (#505)

I finally managed to add the Dior nail colours for spring to my collection. 🙂 As a lover of yellow, Early was the first to be on my nails. This is a bright yellow (but with hints of lime and it’s also a bit neon) with a slighly visible shimmer, due to small glassflecks.

Two coats applied, artificial light. It’s an amazing shade, so very beautiful and obviously unique in my stash.

Natural light on the next morning (since it’s called “Early”, haha), making it seem more yellow.
