Dior Gold Revolution Vernis

I love a good metallic nail polish. I will say this: I have become extremely used to Essie polish and that is almost exclusively what I use, including nail polish remover, but I am always tempted by some of the higher-end brands. I took advantage of the Sephora VIB $20 gift card that was sent out, and bought myself this little beauty:


It's called Gold Revolution ($21), formerly known as Timeless Gold (it says Timeless Gold on my packaging and bottle, but the number, 226, is the same). This is a really beautiful metallic, and I've got nothing like it already. I am going through another gold/bronze phase right now, and this nail polish feeds the need quite well. It has a unique blend of gold, silver and bronze metallic flecks that give a very chic molten effect. You won't need to worry about matching this polish with your skin tone, it will work on everyone, I promise.

Another thing I like about Dior nail polish is the brush. It's wide and flat, and covers the nail nicely so that you don't need to make too many passes to get the coverage you want.

I am also eyeing up Aztec Chocolate from Dior. a plum taupe shimmer. Based on my experience with Gold Revolution, I won't hesitate to indulge again.

  2. The photo doesn't even do it justice, I only have my cell to take photos these days and pics are not too clear.

    I've got a few things on the way from Zoya right now: 2 bottles of polish, nail polish remover and color spoons. I have never tried them before, I'm excited!

  4. :( I used to be a biter, for most of my early life up until I was a teenager. What made me finally stop was keeping polish (a strengthener, 2 coats of color, plus a top coat) on my nails ALL the time. I still do that, actually. I don't care about letting my natural nails breathe. I want them to SUFFER! (kidding)

  5. Bloody Frida- I'm a nail biter too. Well, I stopped this year...for the moment. I seriously think about biting them daily.
    I had to do the layers of polish to stop no matter how stupid it looked on my nubs. If I used clear, I'd still bite. I'd get so upset to see polish chip that I realized chipped polish made me stop.

  6. There is something wonderful about metallic nail color, gold or silver or bronze or whatever, on whatever length of nails.

  7. I used the VIB gift card to purchase this too. I also bought the Aztec Chocolate, but I haven't worn it yet.
