Dior Summer 2012 La Croisette Swatches and Review

I recently had the opportunity to try the Dior Summer collection, this year called 'La Croisette.' Like the Spring 'Garden Party' collection, there are two nail varnishes, with with I did this accent nail manicure:-

Accent nail: Shade 231 Bikini

Other nails: Shade 401 St. Tropez

Wow, these colours literally scream summer! Bikini is a hot coral colour and St Tropez is a robin's egg turquoise colour. Both varnishes have no shimmer, but are super saturated in pigment making them really bold on the nails. The brush on these is the usual Dior flat brush that applies colour to the nail in one stroke. The application on these was smooth- no dragging, pooling or gathering around my cuticles. I only had to use two coats to reach maximum opacity, which is always a good thing.

I absolutely love these two colours! St Tropez is especially pretty, as it is so close to being a perfect robin's egg blue colour. There is also a matching eyeliner in this shade in the La Croisette collection that may just have to be purchased at a later date!

Have you tried any of the La Croisette collection?
