Dior nail polish summer 2025: Dior Coral Pop nail polish / Dior Sienna nail polish /

The Dior summer 2025 nail polish collection is here! Dioriviera, the summer 2025 makeup collection from Dior, features sun kissed, and vibrant hues. For nails, there is a bright and sparkling coral as well as a sparkling, medium mocha in Sienna. Love these summer polishes!

Shades of pink and mocha are hotter than hot in 2025. So, it is no wonder that Dior is giving us a bright coral and also a Sienna hue for the summer season. These two nail polish colors are right on trend for the moment. Love that!

I tested out both nail polish colors with one base coat, and two coats of color. They are both even, long lasting, and sparkling. Perfect for a sunny summer day. So, without further ado, here are the two Dior nail polish colors for the summer 2025 from the Dioriviera collection.

Dior Sienna is definitely my favorite of the two colors, and the one I am wearing right now as I type this blog post. That being said Coral Pop is a fun color and will get lots of use this summer season. They are both beautiful, festive colors for warm weather. Love!

Chanel nail polish spring 2025 act II Camelia Futura Collection

chanel nail polish spring 2025 review

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.

ON Cloud 5 sneakers review

on cloud 9 sneakers review

pictured: ON Cloud 5 sneakers /

So, if you have been looking at people’s feet at the gym and on the streets lately, you may have noticed these sneakers are everywhere! I asked a few of my fellow gym goers how they like their ON sneakers and they all had the same response; “I love them!”

The type of feedback I have been getting from people is that ON sneakers are supportive and comfortable for both fitness activities and walking. OK, I’m sold!

Since I didn’t really need a new pair of gym sneakers, I decided to snap up a pair I can wear for street wear. I chose the ON Cloud 5 in a light, neutral hue. I could tell they would be great in the gym, but I really needed a new pair of street sneakers, so that is how I wear them.

The insole is removeable, so while they are comfortable on their own, I switched out the insole with the orthotics my doctor gave me to treat my planter fasciitis. They fit perfectly and offer the right amount of comfort for a lot of walking.

I recently wore these sneakers to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and also the Computer History Museum. Both activities required being on my feet for several hours and walking around. I was perfectly comfortable and able to complete the entire day both times. Love these sneakers!

While the sole isn’t as squishy as the Hoka sneakers, ON offers ample support and comfort for both walking and gym/fitness activities. Love that!

As for style points, the ON Cloud 5 sneakers come with both shoelaces and stretchy laces which can be used to make the shoes slip-ons. I decided to go with the stretchy laces so I can slip in and out of the shoes without needing to tie laces. This will come in handy for air travel when we go through TSA and need to take off our shoes.

I rate ON Cloud 5 sneakers ten out of ten. Love!
