Dior’s spring collection has a garden theme, and includes two rose-scented nailpolishes in pretty, flowery shades of green and purple. Today I have swatches and a comparison of the minty green, Waterlily.

Dior Nail Polish
Dior Anselm Reyle Vernis – Pink Graffiti
Dior’s newest nail polish collection is a collaboration with German artist Anselm Reyle, who is known for saturated, neon colors. The collection debuted at Art Basel in Miami in December, but it finally popped up on Dior.com and also on Saks.com recently.
Dior Beige Lotus 211 – Swatch
There are not many swatches of this polish floating around, so this is one that I had to just order and hope for the best. Dior’s Beige Lotus is a peachish tan with silver shimmers that fortunately turned out to be very flattering and pretty!
Dior Silver Lake 071 – Swatch and Comparison
I was excited to see a new Dior polish pop up on Dior.com, which I hadn’t heard anything about. The polish is Silver Lake, a dark, shimmery charcoal. The Dior website says that it’s only available on Dior.com, and was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Allure magazine.

Dior d’Or Collection Reds – Merveille and Apparat
Today I have swatches of the last two polishes from Dior’s Holiday 2011 Collection. Merveille and Apparat are both glowy reds with golden shimmer, but they’re pretty different from each other.

Dior Mandarin Orange 447 (aka Orange des Indes) – Swatch and Comparison
Here are swatches of a Dior polish that’s a bit confusing. Mandarin Orange is a pretty peachy orange with gold sparkles, and comes with the new wide-but-tapered Dior brush.

Dior Pink Boa Revisited for Pink Wednesday
Back when Dior’s Pink Boa came out the spring, I tried it and didn’t like it at all. I had problems with streaking and thought it was sheer and boring. But recently when I needed a super conservative nail color for a meeting, I decided to give it one more chance, and found that I really like it! There are a few tricks to making Pink Boa behave…
Dior Mitzah Bricard Vernis in Camel – Swatch and Comparison
Today I have swatches of one of Dior’s Mitzah Bricard polishes – Camel is a pretty caramel-beige color. I’ve seen comments wondering if it’s close to Dior’s Safari Beige, which was just promoted with the Blue Tie Collection for Fall, so I compared them to find out.

Halloween Nail Practice: Dior Aloha and OPI Black Shatter
Just in case anyone is still looking for the Dior Electric Tropics Duos, they’re back up on the Dior website-they were Dior’s summer polishes, a bright orange and a neon pink jelly. These come in really nice packaging, and with their own full-size bottle of top coat, even though they cost just a bit more than a normal Dior polish. So it’s sort of like a good deal.

Comparison: Dior Tuxedo vs. OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue
With all the interest in dark blue polishes lately, I pulled out an older OPI polish that has been mentioned as being very close to Dior’s new Tuxedo. OPI’s Yoga-ta Get This Blue is also a dark blue with lighter blue shimmer-keep reading for a Tuxedo vs. Yoga-ta Get This Blue comparison.

Dior Saint-Tropez – Swatch and Comparisons
Today I have swatches of Dior’s Saint-Tropez, which was released to celebrate the opening of the Dior boutique there. It’s a beautiful, Mediterranean-turquoise blue creme with that tiny bit of sparse silver shimmer that many Dior polishes have. Many people have wondered how similar it is to Chanel’s Nouvelle Vague, so I have a comparison, too!
Dior Les Rouges – Trafalgar, Gruau and Icone Swatches
Dior recently released a limited edition set of three red polishes, each inspired by the history of the House of Dior. They’re classic, bold shades that are a step above the usual reds. Swatches coming up!

Essie Smooth Sailing with Dior Rock Coat
I wore Essie’s Smooth Sailing at the end of last week, and I enjoyed this color so much that I wanted to re-post it! I already posted it as part of the Essie 2011 Summer Collection review. Smooth Sailing is available even in the retail locations like WalGreen’s, where I picked mine up. It’s a beautiful, soft blue with heavy shimmer pieces.
