Dior Waterlily w/ Lynnderella Snow Angel

 I had another post planned today, but all day I have been thinking of layering Snow Angel over Dior Waterlily and that was the first thing I did when I walked into my house. Ok, maybe not the first thing, but you get my drift. I wasn't sure how it would turn out because I haven't tried layering Snow Angel over any other color except white, so it was sort of an experiment when I began. I had thought of maybe doing Connect the Dots, but I'm sure you guys are tired of me posting on that polish! Anyways, my experiment proved successful! I was extremely pleased to see how nice both colors looked together once I started layering. I'll admit it now, but I've been slacking and posting over on MUA ever since I got home. I tell you that because I posted this combo over there and 'laurenli' said it looked like 'snowy spring'. Her description was spot on! It really does look like grass that is starting to sprout, yet still has snow surrounding it.

 Loved, loved this combo. I think I'll be posting Lynnderella's with more frequency because I still have quite a few that are untried. ^_^

Dior Waterlily

 So, this is me giving a brand I want to love a second chance. I was pretty sure I wouldn't but anymore Dior polishes, but I just had to pick up this amazing shade from their spring collection. It's a minty shimmery polish, and the really special thing about is that it's scented! Yes, I know there are many scented polishes nowadays. The reason why it's special to me is because it is supposed to be rose scented. If there was one thing that I could smell 24/7, it would definitely be the smell of rose petals. Weird? Maybe, just a tad.

 I wore the polish for a few hours now and it really does smell like rose petals! It actually took my surprise because when I was first applying the polish it had a different scent to it. It smelled like a lighter version of Nivea lotion, but then that went away and it just smelled like potpourri. I wasn't thrilled with that at all and was a bit bummed, but then as I was washing my face I caught the scent of fresh rose petals! I think that it was probably just too strong of a scent at the beginning and as the hours passed the scent became muted.

All these pictures were taken with flash and I used three coats of Waterlily with one coat of NYC Grand Central Station. The formula was better on this one, but it still was a bit thick. I had to work fast, although not crazy fast like with Tuxedo. The one thing that was bad was the bit of bubbling that came out from time to time. I think Dior polishes just take a bit more work than other polishes, and I guess I am willing to take the extra work because I love the colors I have so far.

Here is a picture without flash just for kicks.

 The brush still bugged me, but the formula was A LOT better on this one. The scent was amazing at least for me, so much that I now want to pick up the other shade in the spring collection. ^_^
