dior lagoon (summer mix)

dior  lagoon is a part of the beautiful dior summer collection, summer mix 2012. the other polish i own from this collection is the equally gorgeous acapulco.

all the four polishes are branded as a "sorbet-like color" with "brilliance gloss", but lagoon is pretty much a creme.

dior describes this color as "curacao blue". i see it as a true blue with a hint of teal. it takes two coats for full coverage, formula is amazing, and the brush is perfect for my taste. i'm completely in love with this polish.

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.
