Among cosmetics there is a segment of nail polishes produced by well-known companies. Among them is Christian Dior nail polish. This is an expensive varnish, one bottle of which costs about two thousand rubles. It does not have any special parameters compared to professional varnishes, in many respects it is inferior to them in the duration of wearing a manicure, shelf life and color palette.
Why are the novelties from Dior immediately disappearing from store shelves? Why buy an unremarkable varnish? What is the reason for this insane popularity? There is an answer to this.
About brand
Worth mentioning the quality of Dior nail polishes. All of them are Big5free, which means that manufacturers do not remove all potentially hazardous ingredients. That is why some ladies opt for this brand. Nail polish of the Christian Dior trading house appeared in 1961. Very soon, he began to enter the seasonal collections, complementing the clothing models.
WhenChristian outfits were collected separately. This was the brand identity. But ready-to-wear fashion also touched the famous designer. He released the first collections in which all accessories are already matched to clothes. Since then, several fashion designers at the head of the legendary fashion house have changed, but they still produce a ready-made assembled look, even taking into account the color of the varnish - the principle of the company.
Dior nail polishes: palette
You can learn the history of fashion from the nail polishes produced by Dior. All shades are created specifically for the wardrobe, fashionable in the next season. Over time, lacquer production technologies changed, new pigments appeared and the palette expanded. After clarifying the harmful effects on humans of some solvents and film formers, the palette has changed. With the increasing requirements for varnish, the composition has also changed. Now the coating stays on the nails much longer.
All polishes are limited editions that can be re-launched. This is what happened with ROUGE DIOR VERNIS, a collection of 21 shades. This is an updated palette with new shades and a smaller brush that is now long and flexible.
The latest additions to the 2018 collection include 687 Sensual (dark purple shade of iridescent silk) and 649 Splendid (muted red). These two polishes match perfectly.
Two more new shades are expected in the autumn collection - 229 Enchanted (nude) and 583 Fantasmatic (natural nail color).
Popularshades
In a real lady's cosmetic bag there is always Dior nude lacquer. It is indispensable for receptions with a white thai dress code. Since this tone is versatile and goes with any outfit, people like to use it in other situations. There are several nude tones in the Dior palette. Among them, you can choose the perfect camouflage shade that matches the color of the skin of the hands.
Nudes apply easily and do not leave unsightly streaks. Two layers are enough to get an even, dense coating. The most popular polish colors are 206, 210 and 211.
Red tone is the second most popular. Every season a new shade comes out, but since 1967, Dior has been true to red lacquer. Now it is represented by a rich red 754, a shrimp color by 537, and a dark red of a cold shade by 853.
Interesting blue shades from the VERNIS series: navy blue Opening Night No. 994, which goes well with a little black dress, and marine shade Dior Sailor No. 700, which harmonizes perfectly with a sailor stripe.
This year's new pinks:
- "Flirt" 993 - deep purple.
- "Awe" No. 787 - dark matte fuchsia.
- "Wish" 674 - dark pink.
- "Love" No. 557 - warm pink.
Customer Reviews
The updated palette attracted the attention of customers not only with a new brush. Now Dior nail polish has a luxurious gloss. Due to the modified composition, the coating can be applied in one layer - sodense shade of varnishes. When applied, the surface of the varnish self-levels. When applied over the base coat in two layers, the varnish dries in a short time - from ten to twenty minutes.
Lacquer durability is different for many women, but this may depend on the condition of the nails and the work done by the hands. The average wearing time is 3 days. But there are also women who indicated a week in the reviews. Apparently, when doing housework, the service life of the varnish will be less. In the reviews there is an indication of washing windows without consequences for the varnish. Apparently, not all household chores affect his durability.
Why nail polish doesn't apply well
Among the positive reviews occasionally come across and very sad. Often it depends on the fact that the varnish does not want to lay down evenly, stripes, shines through and is very disappointing. Why is this happening? You can analyze the situation on the example of Dior 800 nail polish (pale pink color of fallen sakura).
When applying it, many make the mistake of applying varnish incorrectly. This is a nude pastel shade that requires a special technique. At the same time, the brush is not opened, as with a regular dense varnish. Nude shade is applied in two layers. The first layer is done only with parallel strokes. The brush almost lies on the nail and moves, stretching the drop of varnish. If you try to apply it like red polish, placing the brush on the nail at an angle, you will get streaks. On the second layer, it is already possible to allow a corrective stroke when the brush is deployed with a cap from the nail roller. So paint over to the right and left of the middle of the nail. To avoid small bubbles, the first layer must be dried sufficiently.
The lacquer is really good, thick, goes straight after the brush. It does not dry quickly so that all three strokes on the nail line up. And its transparency was conceived by the manufacturer. This is a haze for a French manicure. It is a pity that not everyone appreciated it.
Reviews of nail masters
On professional forums for manicure masters, reviews of Dior nail polish come down to comparing it with salon counterparts. In many ways, he loses to professional coatings. They advise using a base from another manufacturer for it, they complain about an imperfect top, and the palette is not numerous. Limited editions keep you from getting too attached to your favorite shade.
Masters come to the conclusion that such varnishes are more appropriate in VIP-class salons. For average customers, this is too costly material. Nail stylists do not consider overpayment for a brand name justified. It is much better to bet on the quality of the coating, which professional nail polishes are excellent.
Style and status
Why does haute couture exist? Any fashion designer will answer that this is the art of creating an image, taking into account the smallest details. After the World War, Christian Dior organized a show of unusual outfits in which a woman seemed to be an exquisite flower. After him, the strength to live again, love and admire beauty appeared.
Why are Dior polishes so expensive? They, of course, have a qualitative composition, but it's not onlyin that. Which nail polish is the right shade for red sole shoes? Dior nail polish Rouge 999. What about blue jeans? Dior Blue denim №607. The House of Dior thinks about women.
Every time a woman takes out Dior polish from her makeup bag, she declares her status. It might be a game, but that's what fashion is for, isn't it?
Conclusion
Most women don't go to a restaurant every day, don't make clothes from famous couturiers, and don't decorate walls with paintings from Sotheby's. This does not prevent them from being aware of the latest fashion trends and making their wardrobe elegant and elegant. Little things like nail polish can be a testament to good taste, because it's much nicer to know that the nail polish is carefully designed by a well-known company, and not bottled in a clandestine workshop.
Here for this introduction to high fashion and love varnishes from "Dior".
