Hello my lovelies! How are you doing? I'm very excited today because I want to show you one of my recent purchases, it's the latest Dior Summer nail lacquer duo for tips and toes. This is part of the new Summer 2013 makeup collection Birds of Paradise,
should be available by now pretty much every where they sell Dior makeup.
To be honest I love EVERYTHING in this collection! I could spend a fortune on this makeup. But to start with I picked the nail lacquer duo at Manor's because last week they were having everything -10%.
There's two nail polsih duos in this collection, I chose n°001 Samba, which contains a turquoise creme, leaning to acqua green (very close to Essie Turquoise & caicos) with the number #402, and and intense sparkling teal, kind of metallic finish, with extra fine golden shimmer with the number #794, which I find so exotic and summery! This is the one I'm showing today. Stay tuned to see swatches (and comparisons) of the other shade really soon.
I'm so happy I got this one, I was hesitating, but I don't have any dupes in my stash. The closest shade in my collectionis a very old one from Astor (n°66) but it needs like 4 coats to be opaque and it leans a a little bit more to blue than to green. But is very very close, so if you have it you may not need the Dior one. It comes really pricey.
Have you spotted the new Dior Collection? Anything about it that appeals to you? What do you think about the nail polish shades? Do you know of other possible dupes?
Please, do not hesitate to share your thoughts!
Love,
Nati
te luce bien ese azulito

Gorgeous! I didn't know it was already available here!
ReplyDeleteHi Nailderella! Yes, it's been out there for 2 weeks or so, but I just took the time to think well, because my first impulse is "I want it all!!!" lol!
Deletei can't wait to get it! the polish looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks shine eye! It's a really summery colour.
DeleteWOW so beautiful! :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think is pretty too!
DeleteSalut Nati, I discovered the new Dior Collection with Globus and took my own sweet time to ogle its contents ;-) - and left without any of the polishes!!! You defintely picked my favorite of the duos and this shade looks simply perfect on you!!! I think I have a similar from Jade - an awesome green/blue foil that really should get back onto my nails soon!!! I am so curious to see the green on you too and oh I treated myself with the lip maximiser :-) Bisous xxx
ReplyDeleteSalut ma belle Christine, You're right the nail colours of the collection are very summery and pretty but not all that unique. I took it despite the fact the green one looks so similar to Turquoise & caicos, just because I fell in love with this teal and have nothing in my collection that's really as gorgeous.
DeleteSo I see you're all lippie lately! great, shiny lips are so sexy for summer! bisous,xxx
Wow BEAUTIFUL !!!! I picked up this one as well, just waiting for it to arrive :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty! Would love to see it on your fabulous nails!
DeleteI really like what I have seen so far from the new Birds of Paradise collection. Pretty nail polish!
ReplyDeletehi Melissa! my prize arrived this morning, thanks!!
DeleteI thinks the Dior collection is right in my beloved palette for summer, greens, tels and turquoises, so I'm having the hardest time o resist and no buying everything!! lol. But I'll most probably pick-up one or the other 5-colour eye palette. bisous!
