Just in time for the summer 2023 season, Chanel has introduced 24 new nail polish shades to choose from in a protective, long-wearing formula with what seems to me, to be a slightly flatter application brush. While not being marketed as a summer collection, the 24 new hues arrived just in time for the warm weather season, making them summer in my mind!

I am not purchasing 24 bottles of nail polish all at one time, so I picked out the colors which are most on trend for the summer 2023 season, and created this post around them so that you can see swatches of the best colors for the summer season. If these shades are not your thing, that’s OK, there are plenty of classic reds, neutrals, and other colors in the new Chanel nail polish collection which will catch your eye. I will also review a few additional colors from the new collection in the next month.

The summer 2023 season is moving away from neutral nails. Well, that trend was short lived! haha

This summer season, we are seeing vivid pastels and fun colors which will add life to the preppy, understated, and neutral ensembles that are hot on the street this season. These fun nail polish hues will add a little spice to your loafers, v-neck tennis sweaters, and khaki shorts. Love that!

I tested out these four colors with one base coat and two coats of color. What seems to be a new, flatter application brush is not that much different from the old brush, and if I didn’t think there was a change, I would not have noticed that it seemed slightly flatter.

So, without further ado, here are my four color recommendations for the summer 2023 season from the new Chanel nail polish collection launched just in time for the summer season.

What do you think of these new colors for summer? I don’t have an absolute favorite, so all four of these hues are tops on my list.

Do you think you will go for one of these fun colors for summer? Or will you reach for a neutral or classic hue?

Scented body cream for summer 2023

scented body cream summer 2023

‘Tis the season for scents! When warm, summer weather arrives, I love to wear scented body lotion which is subtle, and offers just enough fragrance without being overwhelming. My favorite scents in the summer include coconut, vanilla, and Colleen Rothschild’s Tahitian Monoi; it is absolutely fabulous!

There are two main reasons scented body cream is far superior to just wearing perfume during the warm summer months. The subtle scent is perfect when perspiration happens, and it will happen, plus, body cream helps restore dry skin from summer sun and fun. That’s two birds with one stone! Love that!

My two favorite brands are Colleen Rothschild, and Laura Mercier, but the other brands I am showing you are good too. Colleen Rothschild and Laura Mercier are the ones I reach for the most often. They have beautiful scents plus offer the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I love being outdoors during the summer months, so a good body cream is essential.

Shop my favorite scented body cream around the web.

What is your favorite scented body cream for summer 2023?

Urban Decay 24 7 Glide on Eye Pencil review

urban decap 24/7 glide-on eye pencil waterproof review

The 1980s are back when it comes to make-up, and shades of blue eyeliner are hot right now. So, on a whim, I decided to purchase a few fun colors from the blue family. How fun are these sea colors? As someone who does not wear a ton of make-up, my “don’t leave the house without it on” make-up item is eyeliner. My eyes look so plain without eyeliner!

Urban Decay has a large selection of colors from their 24/7 Glide-on waterproof eye pencil collection. In addition to these fun colors, they also classic black and neutral hues. There is a color for everyone.

I love wearing waterproof eyeliner because it stays put all day. These eyeliners glide-on smoothly and offer an even color around the eye. My only complaint is that the metal cap on the pencil is hard to remove when you want to use the pencil, the pencil itself is top notch and works like a charm.
