"I love red, it's the color of life", Christian Dior.
This year's Cannes film festival was the occasion for Dior to release a new ultra limited edition, numbered, red carpet inspired, nail polish collection : "Les Rouges".

Overall :
Although these aren't the most unique shades, the outstanding quality of the polish makes up for the lack of originality : perfect formula and application in one (thick) to two coats. I have yet to find a Dior polish with bad formula...
The vampy shimmer and the two "faux-cremes" with their sparse silver shimmer compose a homogeneous and timeless powerful red palette that reveals the feminity of every woman.
I have already said this more than once : Dior nail polishes are rather pricey but they won't disappoint... I wish I could say the same for every high end brand!
Availability : September 2011 in selected boutiques.

Beautiful post! Red is my favorite color. I guess I would get Icône because I don't think I have any shade quite like it.
ReplyDeleteThese look so amazing! I should just get rid of the dupey ones in my stash and go Dior all the way when they come out.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to get Icone! One of my favorite polishes is their Lemon Balm. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all three!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
Icone est mon préféré de cette collection :D magnifiques tes swatchs comme d'habitude !
ReplyDeleteI love the way you put this post together, my compliments on that! And it's also the proof of how much I still love red polish - I love every single one of them, but Trafalgar really steals the show for me, surprisingly, as I prefer darker reds in general. Gorgeous. I regret the fact Dior is so expensive - here in Slovenia is even expensiver than in most countires as most of the nail polish is, and I simply cannot afford it and therefore missing some really great polish. Maybe with my first paycheck. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely post, great job, as always!
That first one is SO gorgeous. But, I have to dissagree about the quality, I have Blue Label and it's a pain in the ass.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering, how do you get access so early to such limited polishes?
Wuaw, Icone and gruau look amazing.. hope they come to Denmark too...
ReplyDeletetrop cool !! tu sais ou on peux les trouver ?
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about this collection, only recently have I got into reds more and more. I truly believe every woman should have at least one perfect red polish, but seeing this makes me believe you can never have enough perfect reds. And although I realise the shades might not be really innovative and trailblazing (red is red ;-)), the shimmer and also the faux cremes are so unique that I haven't seen anything like it before. I guess I will have to have them all. As usual, you are enabling!!! Love your post, as usual: PERFECT!!!
ReplyDelete:O They are all so pretty! My nails are green of envy! Oh wait no.. that's the nail polish they are wearing. I wish I could me hands on them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your gorgeous swatches! <3
Icone is lovely. They're all so pretty. Nothing like red shades.
ReplyDeleteTerrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
ReplyDeletesublime et tes photos magnifiques !!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! I also believe that every woman should have at least one prefect red nail polish.
ReplyDelete@Ulmiel Thank you for your compliment. It's the first time that I include promo pics between swatches and I also think that it looks nice in this particular post.
xoxo.
