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

How pretty is this bright pink! I am in love with Chanel Rose Coquillage nail polish for the summer season. This is bright and vivid pink hue which applies smoothly in two coats. I love this playful hue! If you live for pink, you will love this candy color for the warm weather season.

Well, there you have it! The Chanel nail polish summer 2022 collection in six beautiful hues. Which nail polish color for summer is your favorite?

Despite not officially being summer, it sure feels like it outside! Are you seeing soaring temperatures well over 90 degrees where you are? We are definitely having a heat wave here in the San Francisco Bay Area! I need to go swimsuit shopping!

Well, if things are heating up where you are, these linen joggers are perfect for hot days when you want to be casual and comfortable. The fabric is cool, and it lets the breeze in while keeping the heat out. I still have my pair from last summer, but before that pair, I had another pair when I wore a larger size. These are classic joggers you can reach for every year. If you haven’t invested in a pair yet, I highly recommend you invest in a pair this year! They are fabulous for everyday, casual wear. Love!

Nail polish for summer 2022 is giving us playful hues and new shades to enjoy. This one in particular from Dior is very popular. Stay tuned! I have Chanel’s summer 2022 nail polish collection hitting the blog next week! It is filled with a mix of classic hues, and fun pastels. Love it!

Well, you might recognize most, if not all, of these shoes! Since I still have planter fasciitis in my foot, I haven’t purchased new shoes because I know which ones work for me right now. I would hate to buy a new pair only to find they hurt my feet after one wear. These shoes are all tried and true, so I know I can wear them pain-free! Love that!

For the summer 2022 season, I will be wearing my sneakers a lot since they have arch support and are the best option for my foot right now. Of course, sneakers are not always an option for certain events. This last week when two of my kids had graduation, and events surrounding graduation, I needed to wear nicer shoes. These slingback heels worked really well, and I was able to walk around pain free. The block heel hits my arch in the right spot and provides the ideal arch support. Love!

In addition to my slingbacks, these classic, tried and true, espadrille wedges, hit my arch in the right spot too! Love that! This means I can wear both of these shoes for occasions where I cannot get away with my comfy sneakers.

You might be side-eyeing the very flat, and unsupportive loafer flats in my summer shoe capsule wardrobe. Well, you have good reason! Thankfully I am able to wear them because my doctor gave me an arch band which fits on my foot and supports my arch. I should not go for a long walk in flat shoes, but I can wear them to lunch and not have foot pain.

Lastly, how cute are these woven slides? I purchased them last year and thankfully they are still on the market; just in case you have been thinking about them. The sole is very comfy and cushioned. They feel like slippers when you wear them! Due to my foot pain, I cannot take a long walk in them, but I can wear them without pain as long as I am not going to be walking for long periods of time. They are perfect for backyard BBQ’s, going to lunch, attending a casual event, and anything which does not require walking for long periods of time. Last summer, before my foot injury, I could walk for miles in them. So, if you are foot-injury-free, you can rest assured they would be very comfy and easy to walk in.
