Chanel nail polish summer 2025 review

chanel summer 2025 nail polish review

The Chanel summer beauty collection is here! Of course, I snapped up the two summer nail polish colors from Chanel to share with you. Love!

For the summer 2025 season, Chanel is giving us a sparking gold and a bright orange-red polish to blend in with the warmer weather. Both of these colors are warm and vivid. The golden nail polish has a warm golden hue which borders on orange undertones. Chanel Incandescente’s orange-red hue has more orange than red, and an almost jelly like consistency. It is not a cream nail polish. Of course, Solaire is a metallic nail polish.

As someone who shies away from shades of red, you may have already guessed Chanel Solaire is my favorite nail polish from the collection. It sparkles and offers a warm, golden hue for the summer season. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the two Chanel summer 2025 nail polish colors to warm up your wardrobe this season!

There you have it! A warm gold and an orange-red nail polish for the summer season. What do you think? Are you a golden girl or an notice-me orange-red girl? I’m going golden this summer. Love!

I tested out both nail polishes with one base coat and two coats of color.

Maxi skirts for summer

wearing: statement earrings / knit top / summer nail polish / belted tote bag / maxi skirt / boots (old, similar here) /

I love a good maxi skirt, and this summer they’re back! Maxi skirts are a hot trend this year, and I love the comfort and freedom of a good maxi skirt. Printed or solid, maxi skirts are fabulous in any style this year. Love that!

This maxi skirt is under $100 and I love the warm hued print. It also has a mixed print and tassels. Super fun! Maxi skirts for summer are easy to dress up or down by switching tops and shoes. This maxi skirt will look cute this summer with sandals and a tee for casual, warm days. Love!
