Dior vernis in black sequins - long wearing nail lacquer - don't make me laugh!


Let me preface this review by saying I have fairly low expectations when it comes to nail polish.  I am very religious about my manicures so a colour really just needs to last 3 days without chipping and I'm happy.

Dior black sequins does not make me happy.  I applied it Sunday night (with a good base and top coat of course) and by last night there were chips on 4 of my nails.  Annoyed, I filled in the chipped parts and reapplied my top coat to all of my nails.  I wake up this morning and there are 3 more chips.  WTH??!!  Dior chips even when you are just sleeping?  Now that's talent!  And not because I am bitter or anything but the colour is nothing to get excited about either.  It looks better in the bottle then on your fingers.  I don't see any of the sparkle, it just looks like regular black polish.  Very disappointing!  Back to Sephora you go Dior polish - I probably normally wouldn't bother but for $24 you betcha it's going back!  And if nothing else, you just saved me another $24 and killed my lemming for the Silver Purple...  I never thought I would find a polish that was as sucky as MAC's but Dior, I think you just might be it!

  1. Lisamarie, try a different base and top coat! Or try two coats of your regular base coat and see if that helps - usually does the trick with my difficult polishes. And Silver Purple is quite pretty...

  2. Admit it Henna, you are a lemming enabler! I was just getting past Silver Purple and you have to make me all hopeful again! ;-) Black sequins is going back because I just don't find it interesting enough to put that much effort into making it stay but maybe I should just trade it for the Silver Purple...hmmmmm. It really does annoy me to have to do so much work to make an expensive polish stay when there are $4 Sally Hansen one's that last a week with zero effort.

    Best, Lisamarie
