Nails of the day #15 - Dior Vernis in Bikini #231 Croisette 2012 Summer

| 5 Comments


The hyped nail polish from the Dior Croisette 2012 Summer collection is definitely Saint-Tropez but I think Bikini is the dark horse of the collection. Personally I think Bikini is the perfect colour that would suit everyone.


At first I thought I would easily have a similar colour in my collection. I pulled out three polishes and compared them next to Bikini, and found that I didn't actually have a dupe.


Riviera is an opaque creamy pastel coral with no shimmer.  I have found it suits as a pedicure colour as well as for manicures.


The first comparison is between Bikini & Riviera. You can see how bright Riviera is compared to the subtle and pastel Bikini.


Next is against Chanel Miami Peach. Miami Peach has more of a pink tinge and again is not as milky coloured.   Miami Peach also has shimmers whereas Bikini is a solid cream colour.


Last is with Essie's Chubby Cheeks. This was actually the closest match, but Chubby Cheeks is more vibrant with more orange.


I have really enjoyed painting my nails with these summer nail polishes from Dior.  Having finally mastered the Dior Vernis brush, I now actually much prefer it to standard nail polish brushes.


Bikini is the colour I'd recommend to everyone.
