Merry Christmas! Love. PrettyPanda

For whatever holiday you celebrate, happy holidays, Merry Christmas, season's greetings, epic festivus...etc. Enjoy!

Now before we all go jump in the snow (or in my case with the California weather) enjoy a light chill, here is my Christmas inspired manicure.

 

On my thumb: Glitter sandwich with a random mini OPI gold glitter and Metametics Honey You Should See Me in a Crown

 

On my pointer: One coat OPI The Spy Who Loved Me with candy cane stripes done with white acrylic paint.

 

On my middle finger: random mini OPI silver topped with Covergirl Gold Rush

 

On my ring finger: Sally Hansen Emerald City topped with Layla Ceramic Effect CE 55 (a mix of small and large gold hex glitter)

 

On my pinkie: Sally Hansen White On topped with Metametics Blood & Snow

 

 

 

 

 

I love how this turned out! Especially the candy cane nails and the Layla over the green. What a pretty gold!

 

Enjoy your holiday and if you did a cool holiday mani, let me know!

Dior Makes The Best Gift: Riviera Swatches and Review

Tis the season! I wouldn't have my hands on this lovely little coral delight if it weren't for one of my tutees.

All semester this particular student always expressed to me "Margo, you always have a new nail polish on every time I see you!" Low and behold she showed up to our last session with a beautifully wrapped Nordies box and this inside. I almost died right then of happiness. Dior Riviera

 

I am loving this on my nails right now, especially since it is the holiday season and everyone is sporting traditional reds. This coral brightens my skin and makes me happy!

 

 

I have my first Dior polish!! Happy girl over here!

 

 

(Excuse the tip wear, I've had this on for several days) This is a generic staple that every girl should have in their nail polish wardrobe. And yes it is dupeable, but it is DIOR people.

 

Oh no, an obsession has begun.

 

 

The flow on this is excellent, it is fast drying and this is what it looks like after a hearty 5 days. Minor tip wear, no chips.

 

Final Thoughts: Dior polishes run around $23 making this the perfect splurge for the nail polish lover in your life that may not treat herself to a Dior. I was certainly thrilled. Thanks to my new friend for the treat!

 

 

Price:  6/10 (but it was free for me...so I can't really comment)

Staying Power: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Quality/Branding: 10/10

 

 

Total: 45/50 = A- = Panda has a Dior and I don't care!!

 

 

Do you have Dior polishes? Give me suggestions on ones you love!
