Summer vacation has arrived! This means I needed to put my summer capsule wardrobe in order. This summer, we plan to stay casual as we have a lot of plans surrounding my daughter who heads to college in the fall. In order to be comfortable, my summer capsule wardrobe is casual, and can easily be worn with sneakers; a shoe style I am wearing a lot lately due to my injured foot.

Shorts and tee’s are summer staples, so I found a few tee’s which are slightly elevated with puff sleeves or tie sleeves. This way, I can stay casual without looking sloppy. Shorts are a must-have in the warm summer months, so these two pairs will serve me well! I always like to have pants in the summer too. Sometimes we get cool foggy days or mornings. Pants are perfect for the those days! These joggers are perfect because they move away from being everyday denim, yet offer just as much comfort as jeans. Love that!

This summer, people are dressing up a little bit more. After all, we are free from quarantine! So, in order to keep things casual and comfortable, yet not look like loungewear, I found this super comfortable dress priced under $50. I originally purchased it in blue, and I loved it so much, I bought two more! I now have it in black and stripes. It is really flattering, comfortable, and ideal for hot summer days. I plan to live in these dresses! LOVE! If you are looking for a fuss-free summer dress, this is the one!

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 review

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 collection from top left: Moon Shell / Sea Sea Green / Blanc Ecume / Pastel Sand / Cap Corail / Rose Coquillage /

Good things come to those who wait. The Chanel nail polish collection for summer 2022 has finally arrived! Whew! Thankfully, it was worth the wait! Isn’t this collection beautiful?! I love all of these colors, it is so hard to choose a favorite! I am excited to rotate through these beautiful hues this summer season.

For the summer 2022 season, Chanel has given us nail polish in a fabulous, bright lilac hue, trendy sea foam green, a pastel and a vivid coral, trendy white, and a bright pink. LOVE! After all of these versions of classic hues we have been given the past few seasons were starting to get, shall we say, predictable? Thankfully for the summer 2022 season, we have avant-garde hues, as well as modern takes on classics we can choose from. Get ready for a summer of fun!

I tested all six Chanel nail polish colors with one base coat and two coats of color. I did not use a top coat for my review.

So, without further ado, here are the six nail polish colors from the Chanel summer 2022 beauty collection.

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Blanc Ecume

White nail polish is back, and it is hot this summer season. This might be the trendiest color of the season. Of course, when it comes to white nail polish, there is no perfect formula. This nail polish needs to be applied carefully or it will streak. You might need to touch it up after two coats to correct any missed spots or small streaks. I will say this, Chanel Blanc Ecume nail polish is less streaky than any other white nail polish I have tried. So, if you love white polish, give this one a go! I plan to wear it when my tan gets to a better level. haha

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Sea Sea Green

Green is huge this year; even though it isn’t the official color of the year. While we have been seeing more Kelly Green and Apple Green from designers, mint green has been emerging in the background and it is poised for a comeback. Chanel didn’t waste any time giving us a fabulous mint green nail polish. I am in love! Chanel Sea Sea Green is the most pastel green hue possible, and I love it. I cannot wait to wear Sea Sea Green this summer! Also, it does not streak. Chanel Sea Sea Green nail polish applies smoothly in two coats.

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Moon Shell

How pretty is Chanel Moon Shell nail polish for summer!? I am a sucker for a beautiful lilac nail polish, so this has to be my favorite from the Chanel summer 2022 nail polish collection. That being said, I really love all of these colors. Moon Shell applies smoothly in two coats without any streaking. It is a vivid lilac and look absolutely stunning on. LOVE!

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Pastel Sand

How pretty is Chanel Pastel Sand nail polish! I love this beautiful hue, and it is the ultimate take on a classic for the summer season. If you work in a conservative office environment, this is the summer color for you. Pastel Sand is great for everyday wear, and it will blend well with any color palette you choose to wear this summer season. Chanel Pastel Sand nail polish applies smoothly in two coats without streaking. Love that!

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Cap Corail

Va-va-voom! Do you love bright, attention seeking colors? If so, Chanel Cap Corail nail polish is the color you have been patiently waiting for this summer season. Cap Corail is a bright coral hue which borders on orange but is not quite orange. This is bright and playful hue that will add some spice to your manicure. No streaking in two coats!

Chanel nail polish summer 2022 | Chanel Rose Coquillage

How pretty is this bright pink! I am in love with Chanel Rose Coquillage nail polish for the summer season. This is bright and vivid pink hue which applies smoothly in two coats. I love this playful hue! If you live for pink, you will love this candy color for the warm weather season.

Well, there you have it! The Chanel nail polish summer 2022 collection in six beautiful hues. Which nail polish color for summer is your favorite?

Despite not officially being summer, it sure feels like it outside! Are you seeing soaring temperatures well over 90 degrees where you are? We are definitely having a heat wave here in the San Francisco Bay Area! I need to go swimsuit shopping!

Well, if things are heating up where you are, these linen joggers are perfect for hot days when you want to be casual and comfortable. The fabric is cool, and it lets the breeze in while keeping the heat out. I still have my pair from last summer, but before that pair, I had another pair when I wore a larger size. These are classic joggers you can reach for every year. If you haven’t invested in a pair yet, I highly recommend you invest in a pair this year! They are fabulous for everyday, casual wear. Love!

Nail polish for summer 2022 is giving us playful hues and new shades to enjoy. This one in particular from Dior is very popular. Stay tuned! I have Chanel’s summer 2022 nail polish collection hitting the blog next week! It is filled with a mix of classic hues, and fun pastels. Love it!

These classic hoops, and this fun puff sleeve tee are also great for the summer season. I also love these comfy slides, and this fun green bag. They both feature woven leather, which is huge right now, and a classic vibe. Love that!
