Today, I am sharing with you 35 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2023.

Quite a few brands released blue and purple nail colors this summer, and I am particularly drawn to some of the pastel ones and some of the ones with muted tones. The pastel ones look fresh and cooling, and the muted ones look understated and elegant.

Addiction and Ducato launched new ranges of nail colors this summer. Addiction released The Nail Polish + in April. It features 40 shades and there are many lovely colors (including some muted ones). Ducato released Nail Mine on July 3rd. At the moment, it is a small range with mostly quite vibrant shades.

Three brands included in this post (Söpö, To/one and D-Up) are featured on my blog for the first time. There are information and my thoughts on these brands at the end of the post.

(The dates below indicate the release dates of the items (featured in this post) in Japan.)

Today, I am sharing with you 35 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2021. These are the shades I personally like, and they include rich vibrant shades, fresh pastel shades and low-key muted shades.

They also include nail colors from Noiro and Osaji, two Japanese beauty brands featured on my blog for the first time. Noiro is predominantly a nail color brand, while Osaji carries makeup, skincare, bodycare, haircare and fragrance items. Do take a look at their official websites if you are interested.

Sana Excel Powder and Pencil Eyebrow EX PD05 Grayish Brown Summer 2012 Makeup 1

.

One of Excel‘s most popular items is Powder & Pencil Eyebrow EX. Even though I tried NewBorn’s W Brow EX N in B2 Grayish Brown (and both NewBorn and Excel are makeup lines from Sana), I still decided to get the powder-pencil-brush trio from Excel. I went for PD05 Grayish Brown, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on it.
