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 :)

Thanks for a great review.

I just recently purchased the RCM system, and was a little too worried about putting on the color so I only did the clear manicure. Thanks for the tips, because I look forward to trying the color this next time!

Has anyone ever heard of the brand of crackle called KR but the K is backwards? It is great but I've never heard of it before. The way it crackles it looks like dried up clay. Plus it was only $1.50 a bottle and the bottle was 18ml (USA).

Thanks, Steph! I took advantage of a sale this week and bought it. Hopefully I'll have time to start practicing with a nail or two this weekend. Maybe it will help me get that free edge eventually ;)
