Chanel nail polish summer 2026 review

Chanel nail polish summer 2026: Chanel Baigneuse nail polish / Chanel Garconne nail polish /

Chanel summer 2026 is here! For the summer 2026 season, Chanel has given us two beautiful nail polish hues. One of which is understated and classic, and one of which is bright, avant-garde, and summery. Love!

Chanel Garconne nail polish is perfect for everyday wear; especially for conservative work environments. It can be worn to the office, everyday, and also for travel. It is the ideal timeless neural. Love that!

When it comes to summer fun, Chanel Baigneuse nail polish bright, cheery, and evokes an oceanic vibe. I am wearing it right now, as I type!

I tested out both nail polish colors from the Chanel summer 2026 collection with one base coat and two coats of color. I noticed the first coat was a little clumpy but dried flat. When I applied the second coat, the cream nail polishes dried perfectly to create a streak-free manicure. I’m not sure why the application was a little different, but never fear, the result is perfect!

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

Grove Co hand soap review

pictured: Grove Co hand soap /

OK, so I have been on a kick lately where I am trying to move away from packaging that may contain microplastics. When I stumbled upon Grove Co online, I was thrilled because they advertise packaging which “goes beyond plastic.”

Their hand soap is packaged in reusable and recyclable aluminum. This reduces waste and makes it easy to recycle in the event you don’t want to refill it. They do sell refills, so I plan to use those and then I won’t have to toss the pump and packaging! Love that!

Since I am new to Grove Co, I purchased all four scents. The lemon and passionfruit scents are perfect in the kitchen. I love the Sunshower scent for the bathroom. Highly recommend!

Sometimes hand soaps can dry out my skin. The hand soap from Grove Co doesn’t dry out my skin, so I can keep washing my hands without worrying about dry skin. So, although the price is very affordable, it acts like a more expensive soap. Perhaps this is because they pay close attention to using the right ingredients, and steer clear of banned ingredients.

I have had a good experience with the hand soap from Grove Co, so in the future, I will try out their products. If you have tried them, let me know your thoughts!
