Dior WaterLily 504 and Forget-me-not 694

Other than the nail polishes, there wasn’t anything that interested me in Dior’s Spring 2012 Garden Party collection…I’m not a fan of pastel makeup on my skin tone…so needless to say, that’s all I bought. Both colors are limited edition.

I was especially interested because they’re supposed to be rose scented. I wasn’t quite sure what that would mean, but it sounded odd enough to break my no buy and bring them home with me to find out.

Waterlily 504 is a gorgeous light green shimmer. I don’t have anything like it. The closest thing I could find was Milf by Illamasqua.

But they aren’t similar at all. At least from the colors shown here. Milf is lighter, more yellow, and a cream.

Forget-Me-Not 694 is a medium toned, greyed purple cream. I’ve seen a few people describe this as lilac, but when I think of lilac,

I think of the flower, and the color that comes to mind for me is a lot more blue toned. Anyway, it is a very pretty color, and again, I don’t have anything identical.

Top: Poco a Poco – RBL, Forget-Me-Not – Dior, Purple Haze – RBL

Bottom: Drama – D&G, Domestic Goddess – Sephora by OPI, Velocity – Illamsqua

The closest color I have is Domestic Goddess, but they aren’t similar. Domestic Goddess is a lot brighter.

I haven’t tried them out on the nail, so a review and my thoughts on the scent are still to come. So far, I have had very good luck with Dior polishes. They last forever. Only issue I have is with occasional staining. And for anyone who’s curious, I’m wearing Addison by Zoya on my nails. That’s what it looks like after 7 days of wear, without any base or top coat…yup.

Talk to you in the next one!
