It's a neutral metallic silver shade; not too blue or yellow. It looks okay on my pale hands; I think it'd be stunning on warmer skintones.
The rest of the Dior Spring collection is very pretty, but didn't grab me particularly hard and I managed to resist it. I find with the Dior quints that two or three of the shades are very similar when applied to my eye, and they have quite a lot of shimmer in them. The spring collection, while beautifully presented with the lace designs on the shadows, was passable to me for this reason.
I did also buy the Creme De Rose lip balm, which I'll use for a while before reviewing properly. First thoughts are good though; it's quite similar to the texture of By Terry, but it doesn't whiten the lips like the By Terry can.

Loving that colour. I've been trying to find a nice silver colour that looks just like that.
ReplyDeleteWill pop in and buy...... *trots off to HoF* x
Pretty! I am in love with this collection :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletei love this silver~ looks really nice...
ReplyDeleteI like that!! I've got to learn to take a good picture like you do.
ReplyDeleteIs nice...looks a good consistency although is no different to a million silver/gunmetals I already have *phew*
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful on well kept short nails like yours, but I'm gonna pass on this one - I was hoping it would have a touch more taupe to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for saving me some pennies, now I can eye up the quint with slightly less guilt ;)
You're bad for me!
I SO want this nail polish. I'm trying hard to resist..which will backfire and I'll develop an insatiable urge to have it once it has been discontinued. Thanks for posting pics!
ReplyDeleteI really love the look of this... but dunno if I could justify the purchase owning Illamasqua "Snap"...! Oh well, the $ will go on sth else I spose...! :)

Hi Cake Girl - glad it was useful.
ReplyDeleteHi Star Violet - it's a beautifully presented collection, and perfect if you like cooler tones.
Hello Rock That Look - thanks for your comment :)
Hi Kyanvi - thank you, it is a nice silver, I think I prefer the Nubar Illusive Silver on my skintone though. :)
Hey Marcia - it takes about a dozen tries before I get one I'm happy with though :)
Hi Helen and Lipglossiping - yes, that's how I feel about it. It's not one that you couldn't find something similar to, and as I said above, I think I prefer the Nubar Illusive Silver on me. The promo picture definitely has more taupe-iness than it does in real life.
Hi Elvira - do I ever know that feeling! It's not a unique, must have IMO, but it is a nice silver.
Hi Tina - I don't think you need it if you have Snap. Lots of other nice collections out there at the moment ;)
What a beautiful colour! I'm hoping the Models Own nail polish I got today will give me a finish like this!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've been looking for this specific Dior Nail Polish for a while now, since it didn't come to Mexico in time for the spring (apparently and obviously since it is already fall -.-), do you happen to know where I could buy it now?? thanks!
