Perfect spring colour, light yellow (which is still one of my favourite nail colours), almost pastel.
Two coats applied.
I havent’t swatched Riviera next to Dior Sunwashed yet but here is a bottle comparison showing that Sunwashed seems to be a bit more yellow.
I seem to have posted so many Diors recently, so here comes another Chanel (and by the way, I got their autumn nail colours yesterday, really classy). The original Frenzy was released in 2012 when “greige” was a thing. With the 2021 edition, Frenzy is more beige-leaning and with a tiny splash of rosewood, hence looking more neutral.
Two coats applied. Yes, it’s nice and fits every occasion, for sure.
But I prefer the inital Frenzy colour (on the left), because of its grey.
Night Bird – or Péridot? The latter came instantly up to my mind when looking at this iridescent beauty, with Péridot still belonging to my favourite nail colours. I had just worn it a few days before purchasing Night Bird, not thinking about any similarity.
Night Bird, too, is olive and gold with an iridescent metallic shimmer. Here’s two coats.
Close-up.
Compared to Péridot, I think that Night Bird has a tiny bit (just a splash) more gold in its formular, but otherwise they seem pretty close.
Autumn is approaching – at least on the nails, although it’s already windy and rainy outside. Wild Wings is one of my recently puchased Dior varnishes, with an autumnal bronze and copper base, shifting to olive green. Beautiful, don’t you think?
Great coverage with two coats.

Upon unwrapping Wild Wings, I remembered Chanel Opulence – but haven’t compared them yet, apart from pulling the bottles out. I’d say they are close, although the olive green iridescent bit is more showing in Opulence. Hope to do proper swatches soon. Since I might not go to Nienburg on Thursday (as I had planned) because I’m waiting for my new washing machine to be delivered, I will probably stay in Hamburg for another week, with some time for nail stuff. 😎
My favourite colour from the current Dior nail varnish collection for autumn is Rush Hour. Of course – because nothing beats bright acid green (although this one contains a visible proportion of yellow).
The formula is a bit on the jelly side, and shown below is two coats.
Daylight brings out the yellow in Rush Hour.
My first thought was that Rush Hour might be close to Caprice, but the latter is in fact a bit darker and more green-ish.
Liquid Mirror. I like grey and silver on my nails, at least from time to time; moreover, silver is rare in collections, regarding nail colour. Liquid Mirror is a silver foil, flashy yet elegant.
Two coats shown below.

This is how Liquid Mirror relates to other silver shades: Silver, Intemporel, Liquid Mirror and Miroir.
That’s it, I’m already past the first half of Fantasy Filmfest (today is Day 7 of 12, and I’m about to leave for the awesome Savoy), and it has been great so far. 🙂
This is Bar, a black nail varnish, but with hints of shimmer, being visible in the bottle as well as (under direkt light) on the nails, but only slightly.
Two coats.

My favourite black Dior polish is Untitled Black (904), but actually there is not any difference between Bar and Untitled Black, except that Bar has the new gel-like formula, and with 902 and 904 even the numbers are close.
So I went shopping today, just a quick peek. 
My favourite is Carré Bleu, but I’m also eager to try Orage – it might probably convince me when applied on the nails and layered with Atmosphère. As for Secret, I’m sure that it will clash with my skin tone, while Pied-de-poule will look lovely, just my pick of a lighter taupe.
Here’s Blue Denim next to Carré Bleu, and when I saw Bar, Untitled Black (904) came into my mind instantly. In the bottle, I do not notice any difference …
I also got Yves Saint Laurent Bleu Céladon and Dior Aventure. Initially, I had planned a swatch afternoon for today, taking lots of photos, but the weather today has all been Orage and Atmosphère, it has been raining more or less all day, with the sky covered with grey clouds. So I might try at least some of these neu shades tomorrow.
Here come the last of the three Transat Manucure nail varnishes of Summer 2014, Captain. It’s a bright tomato red, its formula being a bit, i.e. just the right amount, jelly-ish.
Two coats.
Captain is close to Pandore, which I already compared with Trafalgar 747 (since I have not tried last year’s Trafalgar 657 yet) and Tie & Dye.
Sailor, Yacht or Captain – to be honest, I have not picked a favourite yet, since they are so different. I love the deep blue of Sailor, which is a truly beautiful summer shade. As for Captain, I might wear this all year round, and Yacht simply fits every occasion, it’s a pretty neutral to be worn when I want to draw attention to my lips … you know I also love statement lip colours. 😉
