New Dior Vernis Shades from Dior.com & Saks

March 1, 2011

Dior has been revamping their nail polish formula and brushes for a while, but apparently on stealth mode as I have not seen or read any press releases communicating the new changes. I heard about the changes word of mouth from another Dior/Chanel nail polish friend who emailed me that Saks had an exclusive to release new colors first (you can see some on saks.com). I ordered City of Gold some months ago and ever since purchasing the Gris City colors online (see my reviews here), I have been checking in on Dior.com to see if anything new would show up.

Those of you who have been dying over Nude Chic (seen here), good news, it’s been re-released under a new name 219 Safari Beige on Dior.com. At this time I do not know if or when these will be released on counter (with the exception of City of Gold from Saks).

What I ordered left to right: 453 Flapper Pink, 428 Sienna, 211 Beige Lotus, 563 Cabaret Pink, 668 City of Gold (Saks)




Updated with thoughts & descriptions:
Overall love the formula and finish. All the swatches were applied with 2 thin coats and went on the nails without any issues. These all have the tapered brush, which I am getting the hang of for application. Descriptions:

453 Flapper Pink – cool iridescent bubblegum pink
428 Sienna – cream, non shimmer beige-pink
211 Beige Lotus – luminous nude with silver & beige sparkles
563 Cabaret Pink – bright warm pink
668 City of Gold (Saks) – frosty warm gold

Comparisons to come in the future weeks.

    Please take care of that lovely hand, Sabrina. The nail polishes can wait.

    My dear readers, I accidentally deleted 25 comments thinking I had clicked on my spam tab. So sorry! Blogging at work doesn't mesh well, so serves me right for goofing. I have everything saved in my email records – will try to restore or at least address tonight or have my
    husband type out responses for me if my hand doesn't work so well tonight.

    Hope you are all having a fabulous day today!

    Lots of love.

    Sabrina,

    You don't have a famous little dog named Boo, do you? Because the woman who sometimes is posed with him on his Facebook page dresses the same as you and stuff but I've never seen her face. This comment is really stalkerish. If he's yours that's my two worlds (dog + beauty loves) colliding.

    wishing you a good recovery! I like Caberet Pink 🙂

    Sad face 🙁 Health and comfort definitely take precedence over blogging – you don't need to apologize! Hope you feel better soon 🙂

    Ooh these are very pretty! I like Beige Lotus and Caberet Pink…actually they all look great! (I have City of Gold). Hope your hand gets better soon. Take care 🙂

    Hope you feel better and get lots of rest Sabrina!

    Love Beige Lotus – look forward to the eventual review…I think it would be a great "first" dior polish for me!

    Would also love to hear if Beige Lotus has any Chanel dupes.

    Ah, hope your hand recovers quickly! Best wishes!

    & omg – those polishes are all gorgeous, but wow, Flapper Pink, Sienna and Beige Lotus really caught my eye!! Sienna is so sophisticated looking! And is Beige Lotus opaque? Because if so that might just be the perfect nude for me! Thank you so much for sharing! 😀

    Hi Sabrina,

    Sorry to hear of your injury, hope you recover soon. How sweet of your husband to type out responses for you.

    All the colors look great and your nails look fun. I think Caberet Pink and Beige Lotus are my favorite, so pretty.

  • Kristie March 1, 2011 at 11:03 pm

    Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you'll have a speedy recovery. Sienna speaks the most to me out of all the shades. Thanks for the beautiful swatches like always, Sabrina.

  • Nina March 2, 2011 at 1:10 am

    Great swatches? Do you know if Cabaret Pink is similar to Chanel Rose Insolent?

  • Winnie March 2, 2011 at 1:11 am

    Take care and get well soon!

  • Sabrina March 2, 2011 at 2:59 am

    Debra, Anonymous, Winnie, Larie & Catherine – thank you 🙂

    Gretchen – I do not have a dog or any pets named Boo, nor do I know any.

    Makeup Magpie & Diane – Beige Lotus & Cabaret Pink are my favorites too!

    Kristie – I think Sienna is just ok, but I think it will grow on me.

    Nina & Ella Pretty – comparisons will be done at a later date, thanks for your patience.

    Oooh Cabaret Pink is all me! My favorite kind of pink nail polish – especially on my toes when the weather starts to heat up!

    Hope all is well!

    Hi Sabrina,

    Thanks for the update, i have been dying to see more new colors from Dior Nail polish. I wonder how Seinna compares to Butter London's Tea with the Queen. I can't wait for the comparisons postings. Thanks girl.
