calypso

It's summer time and it's hot hot hot! I got my hands on Dior's Summer Mix polish collection and...I am floored. Dior calls these nail 'glosses' - and I can't think of a better word to describe them. They're not your usual thick cremes, but a thin, runny coat. Super, super glossy!!!

As you can see, I cut my nails down to nubbins. I'm in the middle of a really down and dirty film shoot that requires a lot of hands-on grime work, and with fake blood and dust and soil all over my hands all the time, having nice long square nails is a BIG hassle. But I don't mind the nubbins, I think it's really refreshing actually.

This is Dior Calypso, a juicy red with just the slightest berry undertone. Glided on beautifully, like fruit juice. Felt like a lip tint for nails.

Best thing of all, always, is that this was a one-coater. I love.
