I have a ton of polishes in two shades: red and aqua. And I also have only two Dior polishes as well–in red and aqua. I ADORE both polishes. (The red polish is the one I used in this video a few days ago).
Of all the aqua polishes I own, I repeatedly come back to Dior’s Saint-Tropez. Sadly, I don’t think you can find it anymore. I ended up buying it on eBay a couple years ago, and even back then it was hard to find. That being said, I just love it. The formula goes on like butter and it self-levels to a perfect finish. Just a lovely polish to work with.
(The red Dior polish I love, Rouge 999, is still for sale, though. The formula has been updated, but it’s the same color).
Anyway, this is Dior Saint-Tropez…
After painting my nails with Saint-Tropez, I thought I’d try another gradient. So I added Julep Monaco to the tips with the gradient sponging technique shown in this video.
Just wanted to say that I’m so glad you’re back on this blog. Your nails are always stunning.
I love your blogs. Just recently discovered your nail blog and have been soaking it all in. I gave myself a very decent manicure last week using your suggestions and products. I can’t grow my nails long because they curve badly, so when I saw that you can have gorgeous shorter nails, I took heart. Wish I could show you my photo. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
