Dior Snow 2015 Collection Le Vernis Snow White & Stardust
Every Spring, Dior releases its Dior Snow beauty collection for the Asia market, which is usually also made available in the US in the summer. This year’s Dior Snow collection is titled First Blossom, and consists of 2 stellar limited-edition Dior Vernis - #005 Snow White, and #045 Stardust.
Dior Vernis 005 Snow White is a creamy white which is extraordinarily chic in my opinion. I’ve been looking for a good white polish for a long time, and had almost given up until I found Snow White. It is nicely opaque in 2 coats, and is self-leveling so it does not leave any streaks no matter how you slap it on. Snow White dries very quickly leaving a beautiful shiny finish that does not require an additional top coat.
Dior Vernis 045 Stardust is a shimmery silver polish that is suspended over a semi-translucent base. It is buildable though it takes 3 coats to achieve full opacity. Alternatively, you could apply it over Snow White or a dark creamy base for an added layer of shimmer.
Stardust surprised me as I had initially dismissed it thinking it was another silver polish, but it applied much softer on my nails, and has a slight duochrome complexity to it. Under some light, it cast a soft pink tinge, and the shimmers are much finer and they come alive under low lighting.
There is some visible brush strokes with Stardust, but it is not obvious due to the shimmers. And it dries quickly to leave a shiny finish.
Both Dior Vernis 005 Snow White and 045 Stardust are limited edition releases, and are now available in most counters in Asia. It is expected to be out in the US in the summer.
Can’t wait for these to hit the U.S.! Thanks for the lovely post 🙂
Thank you for stopping by, Victoria! These sure are stunning, and so different from the usual!
Can it be true? A white that isn’t a nightmare to apply?? Am gonna have to get this very soon!!
YES!!! The dream is reality!!!! Get it Noodles!
Oh thanks so much for the swatches, now I am excited to get mine lol.
Starlight looks a little sheer, could it be used as a top coat too?
Hi Sara, Stardust may be semi sheer, but it’s not completely translucent. I applied 1 thin coat over Snow White and it’s completely silver. So, no… i dont think it can be used as a top coat unless you completely change the underlying polish. But using an opaque coat underneath does make it easier to achieve full opacity. Sounds weird i know…
Wow Snow White looks perfect. Could it really be the end to the search??
Ting
LOL… it is indeed
Love the Snow White, it looks gorgeous on your nails!
Thank you! I love it too!!!
OMG!!! Snow white is such a beauty! I super love the color and the finish. The boldness of this nail color is just perfect. This is something worth checking out.
Yes yes, definitely must get! So rare to find good white nail polishes!
