On My Fingertips: Dior Vernis #483 - Pink Kimono

Dior Vernis #483.
As much as I adore the range of colours and finishes of high-end nail polishes, I very rarely purchase them from department stores because I find it difficult to justify the price tag. So when a lovely friend returned from an overseas holiday with some duty-free Dior, I squealed with delight!

One of the treats I was so lucky to receive was this Dior Vernis in #483 (Pink Kimono). Despite believing I had every variation of pink under the sun in my collection, this colour proved to be a beautiful and unique shade of bright pink.

The formula of this polish is like all Dior polishes I have tried; it is smooth, light and has an intense pigment. You could easily get away with one shade without any streaking. I applied two with a top coat and the result was an even matte finish.


While I am certain there are many similar pinks out there that could be a dupe for this, there is just a little bit of luxury that comes with Dior polishes. They go on beautifully, come in such divine packaging and last for days without chipping.

Thanks to my lovely poodle who gave me this x

J'adore Dior


I am usually very sceptical of 'designer' sales. I immediately think of dingy warehouses, makeshift changerooms, garments littering the floor, and just utter chaos. So when I heard that Dior was having a one day sale in Melbourne, I did not get my hopes up. Curiousity was always going to get the better of me though.

Upon arriving at the quiet, modern gallery my spirits instantly rose. But up to 80% off? Doubtful. Upon closer inspection however, I realised that I had definitely stumbled upon a secret sale, with some serious bargains awaiting me.

The room was filled with so many beautiful pieces. I thought I might just spend the entire afternoon here swooning over ever piece, unable to decide on just one special piece. But it was love at first sight when I spotted this beautiful necklace. Dainty, feminine and elegant. And at an unbelievable price. Quite simply, a match made in heaven, sent from Paris.
