Dior Grege

Lola, how could you? How could you open me up to Dior nail polishes? Gah this is one pretty neutral.

Dior Grege is part of their Nude Collection, and is a permanent addition to their line of nail lacquers. This polish was gifted to me from Lola at Burb Beauty. I haven’t purchased Dior polishes before, though I have tried blushes and eyeshadows. The packaging is just as chic as their blushes and shadows. The cap is removable, and inside is a smaller round handle for the brush applicator. If you have used Chanel polishes this is not something new to you.

The brush and handle are a good size, not too big not too small, and I found it comfortable to hold and easy to use. It has a wide, flat brush (my preferred brush) similar to Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure brushes. I love these brushes, because I make the fewest mistakes with them and it really reduces mani clean up work.

I felt the formula was a bit sheer, and I needed 3 coats to get the opacity I wanted. This might be a problem to some, but to me it makes it more versatile. Since it is a neutral, one sheer coat would work for a french manicure or 3 coats if you want fuller coverage. The color suits my skin tone (the nude collection polishes are supposed to suit all skin tones), and it is a great base color for animal print nails (which I did use it for). This isn’t supposed to be a quick dry polish, but I actually felt that each layer dried rather quickly.

I don’t know about maximum wear time, but in the few days I wore this I didn’t notice any chipping (my top coat is Sally Hansen Salon Manicure). Overall I really like this, and am looking forward to adding a few more colors to my collection.

I blame you Lola.

Dior Grege retails for $23 and can be purchased from Dior and Dior counters.
