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

We finally have some sparkle! Yes!! The Dior nail polish summer 2022 collection has three beautiful nail polish colors, and two of them have sparkles! I love sparkling nail polish, it has so much more dimension than cream polish. Love!

The summer 2022 Dior nail polish collection offers a bright coral hue with Dior Bayadere, a vivid sparkling pink with Dior Riviera, and a chic golden tan with Dior Golden Hour. There is something for everyone in this small yet perfect summer nail polish collection.

So, without further ado, here are the three beautiful nail polish colors from Dior for summer 2022! All three nail polish colors were tested with one base coat, and two coats of color.

Dior nail polish summer 2022 | Dior Bayadere

Dior Bayadere nail polish is a bright and cheery coral with an orange-red base for the summer 2022 season. This is a cream nail polish which glides on smoothly and provides the perfect color saturation on your nails in two coats. If sparkles aren’t your thing, this is the summer nail polish for you!

Dior nail polish summer 2022 | Dior Riviera

How pretty is this vivid pink from Dior for the summer season? Love! Dior Riviera is a vivid pink hue with sparkles. It shimmers in the sunlight and offers beautiful color saturation in two coats. I am not normally a pink person, but this one is fabulous. I am looking forward to rocking Dior Riviera this summer. If you work in a conservative environment, this might be borderline, but you should be able to get away with it!

Dior nail polish summer 2022 | Dior Golden Hour

J’Adore Dior! This is my favorite color from the Dior summer 2022 nail polish collection. I love the golden tan hue of this polish.

Bottega Veneta loop bag mini review

May 11, 2022 in General Fashion / Handbags tagged bottega veneta / cross body bags / handbag reviews / investment dressing / reviews / shoulder bags by Bay Area Fashionista

Bottega Veneta Loop mini bag wearing: gemstone bracelets (under $50, local designer) / Bottega Veneta Loop bag mini / spring nail polish / blazer vest / white layering tee / dark wash jeans /

How cute is this everyday bag! I love a small, cross body bag I can wear everywhere from the gym, to the market, to a luncheon, and out to dinner. This bag is that go-to handbag! Love!

The Bottega Veneta loop bag is a fabulous handbag to wear on a daily basis. It can be worn cross body or over the shoulder, and it comes in a variety of colors. I chose Parakeet, also known on the street as “Bottega Green.” This is the hue considered Bottega Veneta’s signature color. I love a signature color! I mean, who doesn’t love Tiffany Blue or Louboutin Red? I’m here for Bottega Green!

There are several size choices for the Bottega Veneta Loop bag as well as colors. I chose the smallest size, which is the mini. I wanted a bag which was minimal and just large enough to carry my essentials. The mini loop holds my wallet, iPhone, lipstick, keys, and I have just enough room for some Kleenex, if need be; after all, it is allergy season right now!

What fits inside Bottega Veneta mini loop handbag

What I love about the Bottega Veneta Loop bag in mini is that it is a no fuss, carefree bag. I just throw it on and go! The leather is soft to the touch, yet strong for everyday wear. This bright green hue makes the bag fun, and adds a little spice to everyday wear. I love a bag which brightens up my day!

While the mini size is perfect for everyday use, I can see how someone might prefer the small, medium or large size. I highly recommend choosing the size which is right for you. This is a classic, everyday bag which you will have forever. My mom has a very similar version which she purchased in the 1980s and it is still a workhorse. Her bag is navy blue, and it still looks new! She gets a ton of compliments every time she wears it. This is when you know a designer handbag is a good investment. It can withstand the test of time and still look modern years, if not decades, later.

I really love my Bottega Loop mini bag, so I would love to invest in another one in the future. Perhaps next time I will pick one up in a neutral color, and a different size, just to mix things up. For now, I love having a piece in Parakeet, aka “Bottega Green,” and the size is perfect for my everyday life.
