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!

Halloween nail polish colors

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!

Fall manicure idea sparkling violet

Fall manicure idea: violet nail polish / sparkling clear nail polish /

Isn’t this fall manicure idea fun?! I love this dark violet with red undertones from Hermes for the fall season. In addition, I have been having fun with this sparkling clear nail polish from the Hermes spring/summer collection. I have been using it as a topcoat over every color I have been painting my nails with, and it is so much fun!

This sparkling nail polish, although not an official topcoat, works perfectly as a topcoat. Since it is an additional layer of polish, it also helps keep the polish chip free. Love that!

I feel like this fall manicure can also translate into the upcoming holiday season. So, if you want to save a little money for something on your holiday wish list, this violet-red nail polish can be worn now through the holiday season and topped off with this sparkling nail polish! Love!
