Spring has sprung! Well, at least in the nail polish world, and I am here for it! The Dior nail polish collection for the spring 2025 season is here, and it is a traditional spring collection with a twist. Always a twist with Dior! J’Adore!

For the spring 2025 season, Dior is giving us a sweet, slightly sparkling pink nail polish named Pinkmania. In order to spice things up, Dior is also giving us a top coat; but this isn’t the usual glitter top coat Dior normally delivers. The top coat from the Dior Spring 2025 nail polish collection is a sheer blue with a sheer purple tinge. Bluemania top coat can be worn on top of Pinkmania, or it can be worn alone for a sheer, iridescent look. Love that!

The Dior nail polish collection for spring 2025 is a fun twist on traditional spring hues. So, without further ado, here are the Dior Spring 2025 nail polish colors.

When used as a top coat, Dior Bluemania adds a bluish sheen to the Pinkmania nail polish. In the photo above, I used one base coat, two coats of Pinkmania, and two coats of Bluemania. I don’t think one coat of Bluemania is enough. To really see the blue sheen, two coats are necessary.

There you have it! The Dior nail polish spring 2025 collection. Dior Pinkmania is perfect for wearing to the office during the week. Then on Friday, we can add the top coat for a fun, weekend look. Love that! Or the Bluemania top coat can be worn alone for a sheer look with a bluish tinge. Love that too! The entire collection offers a subtle, lighthearted vibe perfect for the warm weather season. I am excited to mix things up with this nail polish collection.

What do you think of the spring nail polish collection from Dior?

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more spring 2025 coverage.

Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter review

OK, as you know, I am a sucker for a fabulous, scented body cream or body butter. It not only is an understated way of wearing fragrance, but scented body cream is a great way to moisturize skin. Love!

Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter is a warm and spicy gourmand fragrance slash skin care product. Like the “Bom Dia Bright Cream” travel size body cream found in my travel beauty bag, the Delicia Drench Body Butter goes on smoothly without leaving a streak and instantly moisturizes my skin. Love that!

Since I love using body cream or body butter as an alternative to wearing perfume, I have several on rotation at the same time; just in case you are wondering why I am reviewing so many different body cream brands and scents. I feel like you can’t own just one! Variety is the spice of life. So, if you like a warm and spicy gourmand scent, this may be the body butter for you too.

In addition to be an all-around great body butter, Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter is vegan and cruelty free. Love that!

So, if you are looking for a fragrant body butter, I highly recommend Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter. Ten out of ten stars!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Lunar New Year! This Lunar New Year is the Year of the Snake. What can we expect from the Year of the Snake? Babies born during the Year of the Snake will be very intelligent, good conversationalists, determined, hardworking, goal orientated, kind, and perhaps a bit mysterious. In short, they will make fabulous friends! Love that!

To celebrate, I assembled a few of the best Lunar New Year gifts from around the web to give, not only to those who were born during a Year of the Snake, but also to give to anyone on your Lunar New Year list!

Or, if you are like me, you would like to give yourself the gift of lucky red. I love a fabulous lucky red handbag!

How beautiful are these lucky red handbags for the new Lunar Year! Love! I really want to snap up a new lucky red handbag, so I am leaning towards the convertible hobo bag, the slouchy bucket bag or perhaps the boxy bag; which has been on my wish list for quite some time!

All of these handbags fit into the current handbag trends for 2025 and beyond. They are anonymous, high quality, made with excellent craftsmanship, and offer the current IT bag silhouettes. In 2025 we are seeing hobo bags, slouchy bucket bags, mini bags, and more! Love these!

So, without further ado, have a fabulous and lucky Lunar New Year!
