Dior Waterlily is a gorgeous new limited edition pale green nail lacquer from their spring collection called Garden Party.
For me this was kind of a must-have color. I missed out on Chanel Jade long ago, and while this isn’t a dupe from what I gather, it’s an utterly beautiful shimmery green and totally perfect for spring.
Dior has included four nail lacquers in their Les Rouges Or Holiday 2011 Collection, all which include a bit of gold in them.
The story of Dior and Gold is a long one, with its origins in the very sound of the name – Dior. This fact did not escape Jean Cocteau who said, “Dior, this airy genius of our times whose magical name includes that of God (Dieu) and Gold (or).” Rigour combined with excess: it was a prophetic name. From his first couture collections at the end of the 1940s, Christian Dior toyed with gold as the ultimate symbol of true luxury and dreams, as seen in his 1947 ―Champagne gold – silk Aladdin gown, in the 1949 – Pactole gown and so on.
Gold was synonymous with refinement, also appearing as a delicate highlighting touch on perfume bottles and the first lipsticks. Thus, the fascination with gold has continued over the decades. In whichever way it is used, gold is always symbolic of a doorway into a dream. And today the House of Dior is inviting us to a new enchanted experience with a flamboyant collection created by Tyen, where the colour gold provides the setting for Dior’s emblematic Rouge Dior lipcolors and Vernis nail varnishes. Gold reveals the potency of their shades, and like gold powder thrown into crystal fusion to colour it red, gold equals refinement; it glimmers with luxury.
The shades include Or Divin (221), Exquis (611), Mervielle (651) and Apparat (871). It’s my understanding that only Or Divin (which is a gold shade) is limited edition, but I’m not positive.
The only two that really called my name were Exquis and Apparat, so I picked them up and am sure happy I did!
Dior Vernis in Tuxedo is part of their Blue Tie Collection for fall 2011.
Tuxedo is a super deep, rich shimmery navy blue.
Looking for the perfect light blue nail polish to don for summer? Also looking to spend a pretty penny on it? Look no further then Dior Vernis in St. Tropez.
I got a little crazy for some reason when I first heard about this color and had an URGENT need to possess it. Like I don’t already have 12 million light blue nail polishes. But somehow this spoke to me.
St. Tropez seems like the absolute perfect color to wear on your nails when you are on a tropical island. And it’s not just the name, the color screams BEACH, STAT!
This color was actually created for the Dior boutique opening in Saint Tropez and is limited edition.
The newly appointed Academy Award winner, Natalie Portman, is the new face of Miss Dior Chérie. I am SUPER happy she won for Black Swan, which was my favorite movie of the year. 
I don’t normally post a bunch of press release photos, but I felt the need to this time. Sometimes there are just some beautiful amazing photos that I fall in love with and this campaign has quite a few.
