Sephora Goes to Paris So You Don't Have To

Mar 07, 2008 @ 12:43pm

Those who haven't gone overseas this season can still reap the shopping benefits, thanks to Sephora:

The beauty mega-store has finally imported Dior's Blue Poison nail polish - and the only other place you can get it is in Europe.

We can say from experience that the polish is great, with the following advisements:

1. It should only be used in one coat, or else it looks black.

2. It needs to be followed with two topcoats of clear polish, because it chips easier than a cookie from City Bakery.

3. It can also be mixed with white polish to create the elusive "Sky Blue" shade of Clueless and Hard Candy fame.

If you're still obsessed with matching your nails to Eva Green's and Charlize Theron's, it's $19 well spent.

Otherwise: Wet 'n Wild 4ever!

Nineteen bucks for nail polish?

It's not like Dior makes beauty products that are less toxic. The quality of the ingredients (and, frankly, the item itself) does not justify such a ludicrous price.

I'm sorry, but the whole "polish trend" is such a scam. (As are, well, most trends.)

while i do buy into this particular trend, i'd rather have chanel's polish than diors. dior chips so sooo bad it's not worth the 20 bucks. chanel is the same price, and it lasts longer than dior. who cares if it's a shade off.

You know, OPI's Russian Navy is pretty amazing. You need two coats but it's a gorgeous complex navy blue that looks black in low light and sparkles almost purple in the sun....
