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!

O.P.I I Think In Pink: Swatches and Review

I am normally a fan of bright polishes or dark vampy ones. Give me a vivid blue or a creamy red any day! I tend to stay away from petal pinks because I find them too sheer and just too girly. Will I Think In Pink convert me? Let's find out!

 

I think it did! This polish was released for Breast Cancer Awareness and a part of the price of $8.50 went to cancer research. I like that it isn't a sheer french manicure pink, but that it has a tone of bubblegum to it.

 

 

The formula on this is strictly cream, not too thick and easy to distribute on the nail. I used three thin coats to build up to the opacity I liked, but you could easily use more or less.

 

 

The nail line is still visible, but I like that look with the slightly deeper pink hue. It looks classy but doesn't wash my hands out too much. This lasted 5 days with minor tip wear.

 

Final Thoughts: A pretty twist on the too-sheer pink nail polishes out there, and can still be found in multiple sets and alone at Ulta.

 

Price:  9/10

Staying Power: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Total: 47/50 = A = Happy Panda!

 

Do you love or hate pink polishes? Do you have a favorite?
