NOTD: Dior 'Diorific Vernis - Le Grand Bal' in Diorling

A while ago I was browsing through the Dior section of Galeria Kaufhof in Frankfurt (always dangerous) and I saw that the Holiday section (Le Grand Bal) had been released - although I really have no need to ever buy a nail polish again, I couldn't help myself when I saw the collection.  It's filled with deep reds and stunning golds, I just couldn't say no to a couple of things!  This nail polish - Diorling - was one that I couldn't pass up.

I've always been a huge fan of gold nail polishes - in fact, during the holidays, I generally only wear gold nail polishes, so this particular shade basically screamed my name!

a base coat, 2 coats of Diorling, and a top coat

I will say that I was a bit disappointed by this particular shade.  I was hoping for the lovely soft gold shade that the bottle seemed to promise me, but as you can see it is in fact quite sheer.  It's not even really a gold color, I would call it more of a champagne with soft gold shimmer.

However, what it lacks in color it makes up for in it's amazing consistency, it glides right on the nails!  As for the lasting power, I also can't say too much about it, as I only left it on for about 3 days, but it didn't chip within those three days, so that's pretty good.  

As for my future with this shade, I think I'll use it as a top coat when I'm going for a more sparkly finish, but I doubt I'll wear it on its own in the future :(  Also, I will say that it is damn difficult to get this nail polish off!  Even a week and two polishes later, I still find a few golden sparkles on my nails!

This is a limited edition nail polish, which is priced at €25.50.

I hope you enjoyed the post :)
