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.

Today, I am sharing with you 35 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2022. These are the shades that appeal to me personally, and I hope you will enjoy looking through them.
Once again, summer is the season for nail colors in Japan. After Celvoke released its first nail color in its Fifth Anniversary Kit last November, its full range of nail colors debuted in April. The green shades from the range caught my attention. Also, Jill Stuart and RMK released new ranges of nail colors this summer. The muted pastel shades in these two ranges are particularly on trend in Japan at the moment.
Two of the nail colors in this post are from Hikarimirai, a Japanese beauty brand featured on my blog for the first time. (There is more information on Hikarimirai and other relevant information at the end of this post.)

For summer 2022, Elégance will launch Elégance Razzle, the brand’s new makeup sub-line, in Japan on April 18th. While Elégance has a glamorous and sophisticated image, Elégance Razzle appears to have a bolder and more fashion-forward look. (It reminds me of Visée Avant.) It also looks very different from Elégance Cruise, which has a more casual feel.
The launch collection of Elégance Razzle includes:

I have been generally happy with my skincare routine in the past few years. However, occasionally and mostly out of curiosity, I want to try something different. It would usually be a product that is from a brand/line I am interested in and doesn’t have any obvious skin irritant. One such product that I have been using is Hadalabo‘s Gokujyun Premium Lotion.

Excel is a popular drugstore beauty line in Japan, and, today, in my Stash Debut series, I will be sharing my thoughts on the line’s Skinny Rich Shadow in SR01 Beige Brown. (Here, “skinny” (“スキニー”) means “skin-like” or “skin-tonal”.)
