Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ Sharing some holiday cheer with Red Smile, a timeless tomato red in the new chic Dior bottle design. May your festivities be as vibrant as this classic hue!
Application was two coats. Snapped these pics about two weeks ago when we actually had a bit of sunshine.
Here are both bottle versions.
Greetings from Nienburg! Nathaniel loved the big Christmas tree at the town hall.
Among the Christmas nail polishes, Black Rivoli stands out as my favourite, featuring wine-red glitter in a blackened base.
The result on the nails appears darker than the bottle might suggest. Two coats were applied.
Captured under natural light (which is somewhat limited during this season).

It’s high time to unveil some of this year’s Christmas nail color releases. Kicking off with Mirror, a dazzling platinum shade with a metallic finish.
Application was two coats.

Here’s Jasmin, captured in photos from the summer, just after this colour’s release. On the left is the regular bottle, and on the right, you see the mini version that came with a gift set. The colour of this nail polish is a pristine pure white.
Three thin coats for a good coverage.
Gris Dior joins the standard collection, and I’m still a fan of the new bottle design. This shade is a lovely light taupe.

What’s better than an iconic red to reinvigorate this blog? I wasn’t aware it’s been almost two months since the last post. Meanwhile, I relished the Fantasy Filmfest, spent time at my second home in Nienburg, and had another delightful holiday experience in Malta until last Thursday.
Just when I was contemplating putting an end to my Dior nail polish collection (this happens every other year, so no worries), they introduced a new bottle design and a range of new colors. At first, I only opted for the reds, followed by the Christmas nail colors, and so on. The color 999 (previously known as “Rouge”) made its debut on my nails during Fantasy Filmfest. It’s still a classic red.
Two coats were applied, and I’m really pleased with the new bottle design because it eliminates reflections (i.e., unintended selfies) in the cap. 😎
Here’s the new 999 alongside its predecessor.
Bronze Cruise is a limited edition mini-sized polish that is available exclusively in the Dioriviera gift box. Although I haven’t come across the full-size version, I believe this mini edition is quite exclusive.
I primarily bought it for the nail colors but ended up using the eyeshadow as well. (I blurred out the mirror image because I was too lazy to take another photo, and there’s a large yellow Ikea octopus sitting on the piano 
).
The shade is bronze, as the name suggests, so I likely have similar shades in my collection.
Two coats applied.

Hello from Lower Saxony! I had a pleasant journey to Nienburg although I had to go three days earlier than planned due to disruptions in train schedules. Nonetheless I’m now enjoying the serene atmosphere of this place and the beautiful nature that surrounds it.
As for Eden-Roc, dark blue nail colors can look absolutely stunning during the summer. When exposed to direct sunlight, this shade reveals its captivating indigo and blue glitter particles, creating a mesmerizing metallic finish. It’s the perfect choice for adding a touch of glamour to your summer nails.

Opulent Pink, released earlier this spring, has a metallic finish with a hint of gold. Despite its name, it’s not a color I would typically wear, but I wanted to share a swatch with you.
Two coats shown below.
Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice delicate golden particles.
It’s a quiet day, so why not posting another nail colour? 😎 While looking a bit dull in its bottle, Rivage is a stunning orange with golden and orange shimmer on the nails. I’ll probably be wearing this during the summer swimming season a lot.
