Dior Cherie Bow Spring 2013 - 355 Rosy Bow Swatch & Review
After an extremely disappointing Holiday 2012 polish offering, I was pretty much ready to buy anything remotely decent looking from Dior. The polishes in the Spring 2013 collection are by no means riveting, but after Lady...I'll take it.
I fully intended to swatch 355 Rosy Bow and 306 Gris Trianon and review them together, but I decided to wear Rosy Bow as a full mani first.

Dior 355 Rosy Bow is a light/borderline mid-tone pink creme. Full disclosure: it looks a bit darker and cooler than what my picture is showing, at least on my monitor. 355 Rosy Bow is pretty much the epitome of a "girly" color, in my opinion. I don't wear or own a lot of pinks this shade, so it is a happy addition to my stash. Definitely not the most exciting, though.
The formula is manageable at best. The first two coats were quite streaky, but the third made it presentable. The consistency is also thicker than I'm used to from this brand. It's not the dream formula I've come to expect.
Also, did anyone notice the new bottle? Same shape and size, different label. It's no longer printed on the glass with "VERNIS" in a shade similar to the polish. Now, it's very...Chanel. Leave it to Dior to give us a cheap sticker label along with a $1 price increase. Oh well!

I love this shade on you, Lola! However, not loving that it seems to be a bit tricky of an application. I was not too bowled over by the holiday offerings either, and this and the grey aren't rocking my world. I keep wanting to buy a Dior but keep being underwhelmed. What is going on here!?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty shade of pink. I'm always up for pink.
