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.
