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 9 sneakers review

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring has sprung! Well, at least in the nail polish world, and I am here for it! The Dior nail polish collection for the spring 2025 season is here, and it is a traditional spring collection with a twist. Always a twist with Dior! J’Adore!

For the spring 2025 season, Dior is giving us a sweet, slightly sparkling pink nail polish named Pinkmania. In order to spice things up, Dior is also giving us a top coat; but this isn’t the usual glitter top coat Dior normally delivers. The top coat from the Dior Spring 2025 nail polish collection is a sheer blue with a sheer purple tinge. Bluemania top coat can be worn on top of Pinkmania, or it can be worn alone for a sheer, iridescent look. Love that!

The Dior nail polish collection for spring 2025 is a fun twist on traditional spring hues. So, without further ado, here are the Dior Spring 2025 nail polish colors.

When used as a top coat, Dior Bluemania adds a bluish sheen to the Pinkmania nail polish. In the photo above, I used one base coat, two coats of Pinkmania, and two coats of Bluemania. I don’t think one coat of Bluemania is enough. To really see the blue sheen, two coats are necessary.

There you have it! The Dior nail polish spring 2025 collection. Dior Pinkmania is perfect for wearing to the office during the week. Then on Friday, we can add the top coat for a fun, weekend look. Love that! Or the Bluemania top coat can be worn alone for a sheer look with a bluish tinge. Love that too! The entire collection offers a subtle, lighthearted vibe perfect for the warm weather season. I am excited to mix things up with this nail polish collection.

What do you think of the spring nail polish collection from Dior?

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more spring 2025 coverage.
