Nina Ultra Pro Violet It Ride is a...what is it? The name makes me want to call it violet, but there's nothing violet about it, in my opinion. It's a fuchsia creme that definitely has some neon pigment in it because it dries to a satin finish.

The formula was just okay. It was on the thick side, but I had no issues with the application. The wear was also not spectacular. I experienced a few chips on day two. I'll have to try this with a different base and top coat combo.

Nina Ultra Pro Violet It Ride retails for $4.69 and is available at Sally Beauty.

Dior Lilac Colorvision is a lilac creme. It has a touch of pink in it, as most lilacs do. I typically prefer lavenders to lilacs, but this one isn't too pink.

Lilac Colorvision has an immaculate formula. It basically applied itself. After trudging through the Sparkling Shine formula, this was a nice treat. Great wear, too. I snapped this photo after 3 days of wear.

Dior Lilac Colorvision retails for $24 and is available exclusively at Sephora.

All the shades in this collection have the most gorgeous shimmer. I did my best to try to capture it, but you need to see these in person!

Dior Delice is a bright coral shimmer. It's definitely more orange than anything else. It's borderline unwearable for me, but I think shimmer softens it up a bit.

2 coats

 Dior Diablotine is a red coral shimmer that is the most pigmented of the bunch. There's a cool pink shimmer in this that keeps it from being too warm. Love! I bought Diablotine the lipgloss, and I'm equally obsessed with that.

3 coats

Dior Princess is a light pink shimmer. It leans a tiny bit warm, but everything on me seems to do that, so keep that in mind. Princess is gorgeous. It has a lovely softness to it, but it's still interesting.

Dior Spring Ball is a light coral/peach shimmer. My favorite of the bunch! I wore this as a full mani, hence the top coat. It's seriously so gorgeous. I'm considering a backup (someone stop me!).





The formula on these was thicker than I expected. I guess all that shimmer made these a little gummy. They still self-leveled pretty well, and I didn't have any issues with balding. It's definitely not the immaculate Dior formula I've come to know and love, though.





The Dior Sparkling Shine collection retails for $25* and is available at Sephora.
