Dior Forget me not Swatches and Review

Like I said yesterday I have Dior at last :). The packaging is so cool, I couldn't capture the rainbow on my camera but it's there, it feels so good hehe, I do enjoy packaging and bottles as much as the nail varnish itself so, so far so good ;). 

I got the rainbow from the lid though, lovely, could look at it all day, that's a bit sad I know but hey ho. 

So the actual polish itself is glorious, the brush is flat and rounded so it goes on super smooth and easy and it's just a tad darker than what's in the bottle of course but it's still a gorgeous dusty, elegant purple. It has tiny silver shimmery bit that you can only see if you look very carefully, which elevates this polish even more, it gives it more depth. I think this colour is one that transcends seasons, great in winter or summer, I bet the sun would catch the tiny shimmer :).Opaque in two coats, average drying time then topped off with a topcoat apart from my thumbs cos I smudged them >:(. 

The scent of roses is a bit headache inducing for me, probably because I kept sniffing them whilst the polish was still wet (duh!) but it's nicer after it has faded a touch and when I put the topcoat on it dulled it a bit so it was a far pleasanter smell for my sensitive nose. I'm on the second day of wearing it and the scent is more like a faint trace on my thumbs as I didn't put the topcoat on them but on the rest of my nails the smell has all but gone. 

I had to put this picture on as my boyfriend pointed out it's nearly the same colour as my amethyst ring, how sweet! :). I don't like the way my hand looks in this picture, maybe I can't be a hand model after all ;). 

I recommend this polish especially if you collect packaging like me hah! I really want to get Waterlily now, but my budget won't stretch for another £18 nail varnish, so I'll just have to wait :(

What do you think of this review and polish? Worth the price tag? 

Nail art inspiration comes from everywhere!

I'm sure my attention span is getting shorter ever since I started blogging, that explains why I post like a million things everyday ha! Anyway I became bored with my nude leopard and french tips mani but I hadn't (and still haven't going out to dinner tonight though ;) ) been anywhere to show it off so I compromised and just changed my thumb instead. I used a design that I thought up yesterday, it's inspired by a tee shirt that is inspired by a scarf....

I used Blueberry Ice Cream by Barry M as the base, it's such a sweet colour, pale but warm (??) blue, it needed two coats but I only used one as you can only see a tiny bit at the top. Other colours used were all Barry M but I've lost the names, the green might be Spring green but I'm not sure, as usual I freehanded everything and used my trusty MO/Wah pens. It's a bit messy...but you get the idea :).

I want to show you how the matte topcoat is doing after 2 days, quite well, my nails are starting to get their shine back though or at least I think they are, I think I'm just looking for an excuse to change my nails :P. 

I went to Debenhams today and finally got Forget Me Not by Dior! Yay, I've been wanting it since looking at other blogs reviewing it, and it's finally mine. I might have to attempt to review it just for the packaging! Beautiful although I got fingerprints all over mine :(. So that will be my next post :). 

I want to make this blog more friendly and interactive so please let me know if you like any of my designs and this blog in general :)
