dior acapulco (summer mix)

 dior 118 acapulco is a 2012 polish from dior's summer mix collection.

i must admit, for the longest time i  hated yellow and didn't have any polish or any piece of clothing in this color. and then,  something just clicked and i apsolutely love it now!

i knew i had to have acapulco when i first saw the promo pics. mind you, this time, dior really did bad job with these because all the colors look quite different in real life. anyway, this color screams summer! it is a bright lemony  yellow, but a REAL yellow, without any orange undertones. the formula is amazing, especially when you have in mind that the yellows are usually a difficult to apply. here, the formula is somehow self-leveling, even if you have a streak, it disappears after a few seconds. 

the finish has a high shine on its own (well, it says gloss on the package) and it is a jelly. i had almost a perfect coverage with two layers.

natural light:





i wore base coat (essence repair and care)  + two coats of polish +top coat (catrice quick dry)
