Dior Black Sequins Review and Suggestions

I bought Dior Black Sequins from Sephora and is marked online as only at Sephora and it costs $19. I know its expensive I mean it takes me forever to decide what OPI polishes I want and they are $8, but I've heard really good things about Dior Nail Polish. It is really good and it lives up to the hype this specific color was brought out for the Holiday Black Diamonds collection and it is limited edition. I've seen complaints of some people say it has a blue tinge and not enough sparkle. It definitely so far hasn't chipped a bit I'm usually chipping at the end of the first day and its been 2 days already and no chips yet. There is also no mistaking that this is black, not blue it maybe looks like a smoky black it has a gray tinge to it and it does not have chunky glitter either but enough to make it glitter under light. I love it!!

**For a lower priced alternative I'd go with China Glaze Black Diamond**

**Also Dior has released Poison Blue again that beautiful blue that was sold out not to long ago

China Glaze Tiffany Blue

This limited edition color is one of a kind it was made to match Tiffany Blue and is called "For Audrey"

China Glaze Ski Collection

These colors are really cool.. because they're colorful and metallic perfect for winter and I'm guessing perfect for skiing (I've never but want to)..

China Glaze Rodeo Diva

I don't know about you but I tend to have my own trends when it comes to everything including clothes, nails, makeup and hair. Even though every once in a while I'll go along with seasonal trends just because. I mean ever since Lincoln Park After Dark came out I haven't stopped wearing dark purple and black nails even though I'm super white I have small hands and I like how it looks. Dark colors are back for fall and metallics are here for winter. I've been seeing a lot of summer colors lately just a little darkened and shimmered up or even made metallic.

China Glaze has come out with a bunch of new colors and I'm usually an Essie, OPI fan but these colors are really pretty especially Cowgirl Up. Temptalia did a bunch of nail swatches for the Rodeo Diva Collection along with great reviews. Here are the swatches:

OPI Halloween 2008

OPI usually has their annual Halloween mini Collection with one or two polishes from the collection sold as full size. Starting last year they added one of the four minis as glow in the dark. This year its The Ghostess with the Mostess and it is being sold full size.
** I'll be updating with nail ideas as soon as they go up!

Chipping Nails and Blue Polish

My nails are driving me crazy, I'm having to repaint them every 2 days. I'm having a huge problem with my nails chipping after like a day and I do the whole thing - base coat, 2 coats of nail polish, and top coat. I use essie first base, nail polish and then creative nail design air dry finish. Maybe my nails are just really weak right now. Anyways if there are any suggestions I am super open to them.

For those of you also searching for the infamous Chanel Blue Satin , I have recently discovered that Dior Poison Blue is similar and is available at sephora.com , also I believe Opi's new Yoga-Ta Get This Blue is also pretty similar .
