The Manicure Moment: Review of Nuit 1947 Nail Polish, Dior
Today I won't be showing you a super sophisticated manicure, but I just needed to do a full blog post on this beauty. If you read my last beauty haul post, you'll have seen the Nuit 1947 by Dior already. I put it on as soon as I got it because as it was my first Dior nail polish, I wanted to try it out and judge of its quality.
Originally, I wanted to get my hands on the Rouge Noir by Chanel, one of the most classic and loved shades of the brand. Sadly, all the shops I visited had sold out this shade, and as I began to be desperate slightly, I was told by a very helpful sales assistant that Nuit 1947 by Dior was a dupe for my dream Chanel shade. I didn't know about it at all, and I was indeed surprised to see how similar the two polishes look. As you can see it is a deep, almost black red with a very shiny, almost gel-like finish. Typically, this is a colour that can be worn if you're looking for a simple yet timeless and chic manicure, if you can't wear more extravagant colours, because of your job for example. This is a subtle shade that suits all skintones, from really fair to dark skins. In terms of quality, the texture is quite opaque, you only need two coats to have an even finish (but you could even go for one coat only if you're in a rush!). The polish dries super quickly, I was actually impressed about that! As for the lasting power, I'd say it lasts around five days without any chipping at all, and then the colour starts chipping at the tip of the nails. At 25€50, I won't lie: you could go for something a lot cheaper and of the same quality. But this shade is so beautiful and the packaging minimalistic yet dreamy, that I don't regret getting it at all. Of course you also pay for the the brand, and I've been willing to invest a bit more in my beauty items these days, so to me this purchase is definitely worth it. If you like the colour but you're not sure whether you should 'take the splurge' or not, go and swatch Nuit 1947 in Boots or Sephora. You'll see it in its full glory with your own eyes! As for me, I'm just in love. ;)
Have you ever tried Dior nail polishes? Do you like this kind of dark, classic shades?
