Perfect Gray⎪ZOYA "DOVE"

I blogged about a gray nail polish I thought was the perfect shade, but after awhile I came to the conclusion that the Dior Nail Polish in the shade 306 "Gris Trianon" was too dark for my like (and Dior nail polishes are just not worth it). Since then, I would cruise through Essie, Deborah Lippmann, and Butter London to look for that perfect shade of gray. Not too dark, not too light... not the tan kind of gray, not the bone colored gray... I wanted the gray like the gray of an iMac laptop. You know?

So after searching on a bunch of google images under "gray nail polishes" I decided to try the Zoya shade in "Dove".

I loved it so much and it truly is that true gray that I decided to devote a whole blogpost on it! I'm sure there are gals out there who are searching for something like this so I thought I'd let you know :)

NOTD Dior Vernis 306 "Gris Trianon"

Seek and ye shall find. I have sought for a GREY nail polish for a few months now. I mean gray gray, not brown gray or kind of gray. I mean like slate gray. Nothing too pastel-gray so that it's white, but nothing that's too dark either. On my cruise at Sephora (the oh-so-wickedly-tempting-beauty-store) I came across an advertisement for this shade. The minute I saw it, I ran to find the actual polish. It was perfecto!

 [As a side note I'd like to introduce to you another addition to my Catbird rings! Actually, it's more than one addition. Along with my "Dark side of the Moon" ring (not featured in any of these pictures) I've also picked up a gold star ring, a hammered rose gold ring (which is stacked on top of the star ring), and the all-new Catbird Tomboy Rose gold knuckle ring! I actually wear the Tomboy knuckle ring on my pinky but just for demonstration, I've put it on my knuckle for y'all to have a look :) I absolutely love all of them!]

Dior nail vernis are seriously so easy to apply. First off, they have the creamiest texture. It doesn't make your nails look like you have paint on them. It looks like nail polish (if you know what I mean). Also, the brush is designed so that it makes applying so much easier! If you can see with this picture, you'll realize how amazing the brush is! Usually I get all the sides of my fingernails painted with the nail polish. But this time, I'm so proud of how clean and neat I painted them! The color is amazing. I applied two coats, then finished it off with the Sally Hansen MegaShine topcoat.

Anyone looking for a chic gray, try this one out.

NOTD: Dior Vernis "Safari Beige" 219

If you've watched or read my Sephora Haul post, you'll know I raved on about Dior's "Safari Beige" nail polish-- that it's simply the nude of all nudes, the truest to a "nude" you'll ever find. I wasn't joking about it. Nope.

I had forgotten how gorgeous Dior's Vernis' are. The applicator is AMAZING, and I know I say that for a lot of things but hear me out. The brush is pointed and thick so that literally for most of your nails, you can just press it down and it'll cover the entire nail. How easy! It is so easy to apply!

The next amazing thing besides color, applicator, is the texture itself. Holy Moly! Thick, creamy, luxurious, and terribly terribly chic! The gloss is gorgeous and no matter how damaged your nails are, this thing will cover it up and make it smooth as a baby's bottom.

Price is a con, but I'm thinking... you sure get what you pay for.

Applied this with a 30second dry Sally Hansen top coat. First I thought it was dry completely in 30 seconds, but it meant dry to touch. Eh, I guess I was expecting too much. But this top coat also guarantees ZERO chipping, so yay for that! It definitely is dry to touch in 30 seconds but as my rule goes, I won't risk it until I can tap my nails together and hear that nice plastic-y sound! (You know what I mean)

Looking chic and classic :)
