Relaxing in Long Beach

We did a quick road trip to Long Beach to visit our daughter, and the weather was beautiful! We stayed close to the water this time and were able to walk around the pier and downtown. It was a relaxing day and nice to be able to see our daughter.

I wore comfy sneakers for walking around and dressed casually. We enjoyed the Halloween decor on the Shoreline Pier and the views of the water.

It was fun to see the decorations and admire the view. For lunch, we had a delicious meal at Gladstone’s Long Beach. Our table was outside and we had a beautiful view of the water. It was relaxing and perfect! I enjoyed the Shrimp Enchiladas. They were delicious; highly recommend!

Next time you are in Southern California, don’t skip Long Beach! The pier is really nice and there are a lot of really good places to eat.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have you walked into a store lately? Halloween seems minimal this year and Christmas is already all over the place. I’m trying to get my mind around it but, other than nail polish, I am still in fall mode.

When it comes to nail polish, things are getting sparkly for the new season! Holiday nail polish is here! I love what Chanel and Dior have given us. Reviews for both Dior and Chanel are live on the blog. I am waiting for the rose polish from Hermes to arrive. That will be pretty! Once I have it, I will put it on the blog!

So, it’s a gold nails, fall outfits, time of year! Love that!

Chanel nail polish holidays 2026 review

Chanel nail polish holidays 2026: Chanel Scintillance / Chanel Blanc Alpin /

‘Tis the season for two, beautiful new nail polish colors from Chanel! Love! For the holidays 2026 season, Chanel’s beauty collection is giving us two new nail polish colors; a classic gold nail polish and a wintery, sparkling white. Love this!

So, instead of just a holiday hue, Chanel Blanc Alpin nail polish is a winter white with slight sparkles. This gives us options for our nails. We can have a winter look, or a holiday look. Blanc Alpin is also soft, so it can be worn to the office instead of a traditional pink and it still maintains a professional vibe.

Chanel Blanc Alpin nail polish is not the normal creamy white polish we all have a love-hate relationship with. This white nail polish does not streak. It goes on evenly and can be applied in two or three coats. Three coats will give it more of a white look, while two coats has a slightly sheer look. I am showing Chanel Blanc Alpin nail polish with two coats of colors, and one base coat.

For a more festive, party look, Chanel Scintillance nail polish is a soft gold nail polish for the holidays 2026 season. It offers a fun, gold color yet remains understated and not loud. It’s a soft way of wearing a festive color on your nails. This makes Scintillance by Chanel easy to wear on a daily basis. I am showing it with two coats of color, and one base coat.

So, without further ado, here are the two nail polish colors from Chanel for the holidays 2026 season.
