for the summer 2013, dior came up with two sets of polishes in the birds of paradise collection. while i had no interest in getting bahia, the other set called samba consists of colors that i know i'll love even without seeing them in real life. today, it's time for samba 794.
samba 794 is described as "metallic peacock green", but it is more of a
teal going on blue. it really is gorgeous and pictures don't do it
justice. the shimmer is amazing and gives it a bit of a glow, and the
duochrome effect can make it look even goldish.
the bottle is smaller than for the regular dior polish (7 ml). the brush
is a bit different too, it has the same width, but it is flat, so this
is a plus for those of you who don't like the regularly cut dior brush
(i actually love the standard one). it is a bit sheer with one coat, but
the second one gives complete coverage. there are some visible brush
strokes, but they are subtle. i love this polish and i think it's great for the summer!
direct sun:
i used base (china glaze strong adhesion) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts)
