Holiday manicure idea with Cosmique

Holiday manicure idea: Chanel nail polish / Hermes nail polish (used as a top coat) /

I love a little sparkle during the holiday season. That being said, understated sparkle is easier to wear daily. Since I was using this Hermes nail polish as a top coat throughout the summer and fall seasons, I decided to give it a go and continue using it during the holiday season.

Although not a technical top coat, this nail polish is clear with sparkles. It adds a subtle, festive look to this holiday nail polish from Chanel. Love that!

My favorite nail polish this holiday is Chanel Cosmique. It’s a beautiful, deep purple with a blue base. I feel like combing it with Hermes Blanc Orage Irise gives it just the right dimension. It’s also subtle enough to wear daily without looking like I am heading to a party.

What do you think of this holiday manicure idea?

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more holiday season coverage!

Chanel’s 2025 holiday beauty collection is here! In this cosmic beauty collection, Chanel has given us two unexpected nail polish hues for the holiday season, Alchimiste and Cosmique.

Normally during the holidays we see nail polish hues in shades of red, metallics, greens, and the like. This season, Chanel is giving us a deep, dark purple and an orange-red metallic. Quelle surprise!

I have to admit, I am in love with Chanel Cosmique. Since Chanel didn’t give us fall nail polish colors, this hue is perfect to wear right now and throughout the cold weather season. It’s perfect for winter too! Love! I feel like it can be festive for the holidays with a sparkling top coat in gold glitter or silver glitter. Hmmmmm. . .

For Chanel Alchimiste, we have an orange-red metallic which glides easily from fall into the holiday season. It is bright and very notice-me!

For both holiday nail polish colors, I used one base coat, and two coats of color. No streaking! Love that!

So, without further ado here are the two Chanel nail polish colors for the 2025 holiday season.

Halloween nail polish colors

From left: orange nail polish / black nail polish /

It’s Halloween season! While some people get wild with their nails when it comes to Halloween, I tend to err on the side of understated.

I like a beautiful orange or sleek black for my nails when it comes to Halloween. Since bright orange isn’t my thing, this pinkish-orange from Hermes is perfect. I love how it’s a subtle orange which is both perfect for fall and understated enough to suit my taste. When it comes to black, this chic black nail polish from Dior’s fall 2025 collection is ultimate perfection. It does not streak and it applies smoothly in two coats. I love the high shine on it! This is really the perfect black nail polish for the Halloween season, as well as during the fall season.

So, if you are like me and would like to be in the Halloween spirit without highly complicated nails, then one of these two colors is for you! I am not sure which one I will wear, but it will be one of these two!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fun Halloween!

XOXO
