Chanel summer 2025 nail polish Cometes Collective: Chanel Dazzling Artist / Chanel Sunset Surfer / Chanel Golden Mermaid / Chanel Beach Icon / Chanel Magnetic Muse / Chanel Midnight Dancer /

Summer 2025 take two! Instead of releasing fall nail polish colors in early July as in past years, Chanel released another summer nail polish collection. This year, the “Cometes Collective” is a fabulous nail polish collection consisting of six sparkling hues which are meant to make summer night sparkle and shine. Viva the night life! Love that!

In case you haven’t noticed the trend, Chanel has given us a sparkling sheer nail polish which I have decided will double as a topcoat. It can add additional sparkle to one of the nail polish colors in this collection, or it can be added to another nail polish in your collection from another season or brand. Chanel Beach Icon has a lot of sparkle without crossing into glitter territory. It straddles the subtle line into not-so-subtle territory.

Have you been searching for a lighter pink which is classic and can easily be worn daily, as well as in an office environment? Well, here is one in stock! All brands are seeing pink sell out quickly this year, so if you have been searching for a lighter pink, snap this one up now! Chanel Dazzling Artist nail polish is a fabulous pink with extremely subtle sparkle. It’s the perfect classic pink. Love!

In an avant-garde mood? Chanel Magnetic Muse and Chanel Midnight Dancer will light up the night and add some pizazz to the day. They are fun and mood-lifting hues. Love that!

Chanel Golden Mermaid is a beautiful neutral which is also office appropriate. I love this color and find myself reaching for it often. This will be a good late summer, into early fall nail polish color.

Lastly, who doesn’t love a fabulous beachy orange? This is another trending nail polish color and of course Chanel gave us one with sparkle! Sunset Surfer by Chanel is a the perfect orange hue for the summer season. It will also work well in early fall. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the six fabulous nail polish colors from the second summer 2025 Chanel nail polish collection “Cometes Colelctive.”

Well, there you have it. Six fabulous, limited edition nail polish colors from Chanel for the second half of the summer season, and early fall. What do you think? Which colors are your favorite? I am in love with Chanel Magnetic Muse and Chanel Golden Mermaid. Beach Icon is a fun way to add sparkle too.

All of the polishes, with the exception of Midnight Dancer, are full coverage with two coats of color. Midnight Dancer is slightly sheer. I am showing it with two coats. To make the color deeper, you can apply three coats of color.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! I love this annual sale because you get a sneak peek into fall, and if you love something, you can buy before it returns to full price. Love that!

If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know the drill. Depending on your spending level, you can start shopping today, tomorrow, or Thursday. If you don’t have a card, the sale opens to the public on July 12. The sale ends on August 3, 2025, so if you like something, snap it up before it sells out or ends up back at regular price.

Every year, I recommend investing in basics from the sale. This is a great time to snap up underwear, workout clothing, jeans, and classic items. This year, Nordstrom has a great selection of boots, sweaters, and jewelry. So, I recommend investing in a few seasonal items from those categories too. I plan to get at least one of pair of boots, possibly two. I also want a short sleeve sweater as well as a long sleeve sweater. Jewelry is starting to make a comeback, so a little bling sounds good too!

So, without further ado, here are my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 to help kick off your fall 2025 wardrobe!

Best Sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

This fall 2025 season, sweaters are getting chic! Look for Chanel inspired styles, classic v-necks, sweaters inspired by golf and tennis, neutral hues, interesting knits, short sleeves, shades of dark red and olive, and the return of the cardigan sweater. Love this! I can’t wait to invest in fall sweaters. They are my favorite way to stay cozy in the fall season! Love!

These are my favorite sweaters from the Nordstrom sale, which sweaters are your favorites?

Beauty products never go on sale, except during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, also known as the NSALE. There are a few fabulous deals from the sale worth adding to cart. Also, if you are looking for a new hairdryer, I own this hairdryer and love it, and the price is right during the sale! Love!

I also noticed my favorite neck cream and eye pencils are on sale. This is amazing! I plan to stock up!

Best Boots and Shoes Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

The best part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the footwear! The shoes and boots are at great prices, and perfect for fall! Western style boots and motorcycle boots are trending as we head into the fall season. If you don’t already have them in your wardrobe, this is a great time to invest in at least one pair, if not more! All three boots featured above are in my cart! Love!

We are also seeing a continuation of Mary Janes, slingback shoes, kitten heels, and lots of suede for the fall 2025 season. The pointed toe is asserting dominance over other toe styles too. So, keep these styles in mind as you shop the sale. Here are my favorites from the footwear section of the sale!

Well, that’s it! I don’t go into the store because there are too many crazy people. The best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025 is online. It is calm, relaxing, and you can see everything in your cart before checking out. Online shopping is easier, more peaceful, and definitely more efficient! Love it!

So, there you have it! The best from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025. Happy shopping, and be sure to reference this post for ideas and the best picks from the sale!

Summer skin care 2025

Summer skin care 2025 from top left: night cream / day cream / hand cream / face wash / eye cream / neck cream /

My summer skin care routine is fairly similar to my spring routine. The important part about skin care products, all year long, is to ensure there is spf during the day. This helps protect our skin and prevent premature wrinkles and skin cancer.

During the summer months, I use this hand cream because it is on the heavier side. My hands get dry from the swimming, beach, hand washing, and dry weather. This one restores moisture and keeps my hands feeling normal. Love that it’s non-greasy!

As you know, I am huge ReVive fan. I have been using their neck cream since my late twenties. These are my favorite products from the brand, they are perfect for summer! Love!
