Can you tell I have been wearing my Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho edp often? The bottle is getting quite low! I have been wearing Nuits de Noho for years, so I was surprised when I realized I had never reviewed it here on the blog! How did this slip through the cracks?
Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho edp is an unique eau de parfum which has a gourmand undertone on an otherwise fruity floral. This is a complex scent, making it one of my favorite fragrances of all time. The top notes include Mandarin, Bergamot, and Pineapple Leaves. The heart of the fragrance consists of Jasmine and Rosewood. Then the base offers Patchouli, Vanilla and Musk.
Don’t let the jasmine scare you! Sometimes jasmine scents can be too sweet, but not with Nuits de Noho. It a very slight part of the heart making the fragrance smooth and beautiful. This is one of my go-to fragrances despite the fact that I typically shy away from jasmine. Love!
The only reason I can think of not reviewing Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho sooner is that I bought my first bottle before I started my blog in 2010. I guess better late than never! haha
I hope you love this edp as much as I do, it is one of my all-time favorites!
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.”

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.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more summer and early fall coverage.
The Hermes spring summer 2025 collection is finally here! Since we are well into May, I was afraid Hermes wasn’t going to release any new colors for the warm weather season, but thankfully, they did! The new Hermes nail polish collection consists of six limited edition colors by Gregoris Pyrpylis, the Creative Director of Hermes Beauty. The collection is a collection of “shimmering halftone shades that speaks of a moment suspended in time, between the gentleness of spring and the onset of a scorching summer.” Perhaps this is why the collection was released in May!
I absolutely love this new collection from Hermes. The colors are vibrant and absolutely perfect. As you know, I tend to shy away from orange, but when Hermes does Orange, I fall in love. Orange Tulip is a beautiful, soft orange with slight blue undertones which makes it beautiful and easy to wear on a daily basis. Love that!
If you are looking for a classic nail polish hue you can easily wear to the office, Hermes Rose Papillon Irise is perfect. It is also a pink nail polish in stock! Which is hard to find right now since pink nail polish is flying off store shelves. You will absolutely love this one, Rose Papillon Irise is the perfect pink nail polish to invest in for the year, and beyond. It is a classic hue as well as a hot trend right now!
So, without further ado, here are the six new nail polish colors from Hermes. They are limited edition, so if you love one, act fast!
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Jaune Pollen
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Orange Tulipe
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Vert Aqua
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Rose Papillon Irise
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Iris Violetta
Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Blanc Orage Irise
So, quickly I want to talk about Hermes Blanc Orage Irise. This is obviously a clear nail polish with slight sparkle. It feels more like a top coat to me. I tried to put it on alone and it just looked clear, so I went ahead and tried it as a top coat. It does not really show in my photos, but there is a little sparkle on top of the Hermes Jaune Pollen nail polish pictured above. I plan to use it this summer as a top coat, even though I think it is meant to be a clear polish.
I love all of these nail polish colors from Hermes for the summer 2025 season, but my two favorites at Hermes Iris Violetta and Hermes Vert Aqua. Love!
