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.

When it comes to summer makeup, a lot of the focus is on nail colors. If you follow Japanese cosmetics regularly, you will probably notice that this is especially true in Japan. Summer nail color releases from Japanese brands tend to cover wide varieties of colors and finishes, and I love looking at all the gorgeous shades.
Today, I am sharing with you some of the nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2020. These are the shades that I personally like (from rich turquoise to sparkling gold and from pastel lilac to vibrant tangerine), and I hope you will spot a few that you fancy as well!

Back in 2008, I posted about the cute nail and cuticle oils I had. As I said, they are not absolute necessities for me and I don’t use them on a daily basis. However, I did get two more in the last couple of years. (Yes, I still like the cute-looking ones……)

Here is a look at Dior‘s fall 2012 makeup collection. The limited-edition star item of the season is Golden Jungle, which features three eyeshadows and one lip gloss.
