Dior Vernis #338 Mirage

 

Personally, I have the impression that Dior improved it's nail polish formula since its release last year, as this last purchase of mine is promising. This winter season 2015, I went for a colour I have never wore before and it is from Dior's 2014 Spring collection. I am talking about the #338 Mirage nail polish which is a warm purple with a hint of fuchsia tone that reminds of a classical colour of an orchid.

 

 

But let me first tell you about this nail polish formula. It is an advanced formula that gives you a gel effect  feeling and a long-wearing shine. A precision brush applies the ideal amount of polish allowing for a smooth application, vibrant colour intensity, and a perfect creamy finish. I wear it for one week already (with a base and a top coat) and it still looks good.

 

 

It is a cream polish with no shimmer effect, which I prefer for this kind of colour. The finish is creamy and opaque with two coats as swatched on the photo below.

 

 

 

The colour of #338 Mirage is a fuchsia purple, a warm colour, ready to wear in all seasons. It is also called an African violet of purple shade. Depending on the light, the colour might look more as flashy purple or more as dark purple. The photos here are taken with a flash, so the colour looks a bit more flashy than it is in real.

Dior Vernis retails for 24,90 € in Sephora Stores in France.
