Holiday 08: Dior Black Sequins Nail Polish

Dior Black Sequins Nail Polish Swatch

Dior Black Sequins Nail Polish Swatch 

Today's nail polish of the day is the new Black Sequins ($19.00) from Diors Holiday collection. A black lacquer filled with silver almost duocrome-y fleck like shimmer. So I don't know if I'm going crazy or what. I'm really seeing these flecks turn bluish in the sunlight. Even in some of my swatches you'll notice a silver/blue effect.

My application was smooth with no true problems. Black Sequins drys to a glossy/very slighty semi matte. You'll probably need a topcoat to accomplish a glossy look. If your wondering - is this the most uniuqe?  Well, probably not. So, if your not head over heels for black polish - I'd pass on this one. If you love black - go for it girlfriend.  

Black Nail Polish Comparison Swatches 

Let's start off with the closest comparison which would be Chanel's Black Satin. Black Sequins is more chunkier with slighty visible blue/sillver shimmer compared to Black Satin, but both are similar. It's a great alternative, espically if you wished Black Satin had a little more kick.   

Dior's Black Sequins ($15) is now available at Sephora for a limited time only.

This color looks good. The bluish hue looks similar to Chanel Satin Blue in some light. Which is better Dior's Black Sequins or Chanel's Satin Black Limited Edition (the one with shimmer)? How about the other nail polish from Dior's Holiday Collection, Pure Diamonds?

Hi Chip, That's a toughie! I'd say Dior Black Sequins is much prettier IMO. It has visible chunkier shimmer compared to Black Satin but are both similar. Haven't had a chance to see Pure Diamonds in person but, I should have it this week :)

    I found these today at K-Mart as I searched for makeup and they looked like super fun colors but I'm on a nail-polish ban for another 2 months, lol

    Hi Steph - I had been looking for these for three weeks and finally found them at CVS. I couldn't resist and purchased all of them. They also had the Nail Art pens which I've never tried of any type and thought I may experiment with one of them. I didn't see the Neon colors but I'm waiting for those as well. Thanks for the swatches!

    bought cic today - darker on me than your photos looked on my computer. But a nice change from my usual mannequin nails & mauves. Just discovered nail polish blogs & am getting inspired to try other colors! Have bought a green but need to dig out a different purse first because my day use one would match my nails - not a look I think would work for me!

    I'm definitely loving this new feature. Most of my polishes have to cost me between $1 and $2 each for major haulin'. Right now I have Night Prowl, and I love it. Thank you for this!

    I love this color! But I didn't see it at Walgreens today so I'll have to stalk the store. I really like the green colors too. For $1.99, I will probably get them all. :)
