Dior Croisette Le Vernis 231 Bikini and 401 Saint Tropez Swatches & Review

by - 02 August

The polishes from Dior's Spring/Summer 2012 collection are easily two of my favorite Dior shades ever. They may be dethroned when I finally get around to swatching my Les Violets, though!






2 coats



Dior Saint Tropez is a turquoise creme with Dior's signature sparse shimmer. I think it looks slightly dusty in my picture, but in person, it is very clean and vibrant. I missed this the first time around, so I'm happy to finally have it.



I don't often get to comment on wear, but I wore Saint Tropez for a full week and had no chips at all. I snapped a picture on day 4, which explains the slight tipwear.








2 coats

Dior Bikini is a pink coral creme with the same sparse shimmer. I'm a sucker for any kind of coral, so it was instant love. I have a few polishes in mind that may be comparable, so I'll do a comp post soon.



The formula is typical Dior - an absolute dream. That's why I love Dior. The colors aren't always the most unique, but I've never met a Dior polish with a less than perfect formula.



Dior Bikini and Saint Tropez retail for $23 and are available for purchase at Dior.com

  3. Argh! I MUST buy a Dior polish already! I think I've finally found an upcoming collection with shades I like - the Nudes one, I can't wait!!! Then I can appreciate the glorious formula firsthand :D

    These look REALLY good on you Lola, I'm quite envious - my coloring is just too middle of the road and these types of shades (at least St. Tropez) do NOT look nice on me :(

  5. Thanks! I don't know if it's still available, but H&M Corrall Summer is a dupe for Saint Tropez.

  7. Thanks lady! Well things that look awful on me look amazing on you, so we'll just have to live vicariously through one another.


    Also, Nudes collection? I haven't heard about this one!
