Chanel has a fabulous new fragrance, and I am here for it! I haven’t worn a fruity floral perfume in quite some time, so this new fragrance one from Chanel is incredibly amazing to have been able to capture my attention. Love!

Chanel Chance Eau Splendide edp is a not-too-sweet fruity floral with top notes of raspberry, rose and violet. The heart of the fragrance is rose geranium with a base of powdery iris, musk and cedar. I always love how smooth a fragrance is with musk as a base. It balances the fruit and florals, keeping them from getting sticky sweet. This is a beautiful blend of notes, balanced perfectly. I am in love!

If you are looking for the perfect warm weather fragrance, or a fabulous gift, you have found the perfect eau de parfum! I plan to wear Chanel Chance Eau Splendide edp everyday this spring and summer. Love it!

Chanel nail polish spring 2025 Camelia Futura Collection: Chanel Pionniere / Chanel Utopiste /

Chanel has given us a second collection for the spring 2025 season. Love that! In this collection, which is a modern interpretation of Coco Chanel’s favorite flower, the Camelia, we have an avant-garde pink, and an off-season black.

Pink is one of the hottest nail polish colors for the spring season, so it is only natural that Chanel would give us their own, fresh version of this classic spring hue. Chanel Pionniere is a medium pink with sparkles. Love that! It has a gelly-like color which is roughly ten percent sheer, and ninety percent opaque. It offers a spicey version of pink for the spring season.

When it comes to black nail polish, we normally associate this hue with cooler weather. Black nail polishes are typically found in fall, winter, and holiday collections. Chanel has decided to place a heavily glittered version of black in their act II spring collection. Fun!

This is a beautiful black nail polish, with opaque coverage and tons of sparkles. It is festive and evokes an upbeat vibe; despite being black. I am trying to wrap my head around this dark hue in the spring, but nevertheless, I do love this version of black.

I tested out both spring nail polish colors with one base coat and two coats of color. So, without further ado, here is the nail polish from the Camelia Futura Collection for the spring 2025 season from Chanel.

Spring manicure ideas: mint green nail polish / blue sparkling top coat / pink nail polish /

There is nothing like a good top coat! Not only does a top coat make your manicure last longer, it can add a little something special to the overall look. Love that!

For the spring 2025 season, Dior has given us an unexpected top coat. Normally when a top coat isn’t a plain ‘ol clear coat, it is a glittering, sheer polish. This spring, Dior has given us a slightly opaque, blue top coat which adds a slightly different look to our nail polish. Love this!

Dior paired their blue top coat with a classic pink nail polish. Of course it looks fabulous! Since I like to play with Dior’s seasonal top coats, I decided to try it on other spring nail polishes. I found it looks good on cool colors in the blue and pink family. It did not play well with nail polish in the orange, red or brown family. So, I photographed the best alternative to pink, was mint green! Love!

You can see in the photos, the blue top coat over the mint green nail polish from Chanel’s spring nail polish collection. My photos do not do the blue top coat justice. It looks really cool in person. It’s an understated addition to the nail polish which not only does your standard top coat job of making the manicure stronger, it adds a slightly blue sheen to the look. I am here for it!

So, if you want to level up your pink or green manicure this spring season, I recommend adding this sheer blue top coat to your nail polish collection. It is also a way to update your nail polish from another season and create multiple fresh looks instead of buying a bunch of new bottles this season.

What do you think of a sheer, blue top coat this spring season?

Thanks for stopping by!
