Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques Nail Polish Collection by Christian Dior

Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques Nail Polish Collection by Christian Dior

After the success of the mini-collections of gray and red nail polish, Dior launches the purple trio called Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques.
It might be interesting to know that Christian Dior used to call purple “the king of shades” and considered it to be demanding and impressive. Perhaps that is why Dior makeup artists could not fail to use the purple color. The makeup collections presented by the brand often rely on this luxurious shade. Critics believe that it is the richness of the purple color that may help to recognize Dior products among many others. And now purple is in the center of the nail trend of 2012.

Three shades of purple were included in the Les Vernis Violets Hypnotiques trio. They justify the name of the collection as something really fascinating and hypnotic. A wonderful color! And why should it be considered the shade of spinsters? This is the color of stylish and elegant women.
• Intensive and sparkling purple Dior Vernis No. 783
• Sensual glossy purple Dior Vernis No. 981
• Deep and passionate purple Dior Vernis No. 996

Rouges Or Collection - Dior

Rouges Or Collection - Dior

This season, gold is definitely fashionable. Golden shimmer on the cheeks, eyelids and lips is not just welcome, it has become an obligatory element of the current make-up. The Christmas make-up collection called The Rouges Or Collection, Dior contains all the shades of the precious metal.
Thiene, the legendary art director of Dior, could not have failed to use gold as a source of inspiration while creating the festive collection of make-up. Why? The history of the fashion house itself suggests the answer: in the late 1940-s, the first Dior collection was created by the designers, in which the master expressed his reverent attitude to this metal. Dior’s love of golden shades can be better described by the dresses that he created, including Aladdin (1947) and Pactole (1949), as well as the gold evening shoes… Examples are numerous. The continuation of this sparkling story is the Christmas make-up collection called The Rouges Or Collection, which includes the lipstick Rouge Dior and the nail enamels Dior Vernis.

The lipsticks are promised to give a “blazing lip effect” when used and are presented in seven shades varying from pale pink to scarlet. The most interesting shade is mere gold that covers the lips with shimmering particles. They are also generously added to all other shades. The creators of the collection warn that one should hardly expect an ordinary pearl shine from this lipstick, because the golden hue merges with the main color, becoming its integral part.

Nail enamels, presented in four versions, are also dazzling with gold. The undisputed hit of the collection is a glossy gold nail enamel resembling molten gold.

Lady Diana’s Bag Inspired Dior Eye Shadow Palette

Exclusive, luxurious, and real works of art – it is all about Dior shadow palette that the brand produces each season. The palette is distinguished by an exceptional design, an extraordinary color scheme, and a beautiful story. This time, the story is about a Lady Dior handbag.

For some reason, when the matter concerns bags, many think of Chanel, but not Dior. And the designers of the brand are confident it is wrong, for at least one Dior handbag should necessarily be in the arsenal of any stylish woman.

So they decided to recall the famous Lady Dior handbag. This model gained fame when Mrs. Chirac presented one of such bags to Lady Diana. The princess just fell in love with it, carried it everywhere, and almost did not let it out of her hands. It is worth noting that after this event Dior boutique shops were taken by storm by the ladies searching a handbag they liked.

The line of Christian Dior makeup is closely linked to the brand’s history, so each season presents us with a shadow palette dedicated to various pages of Dior biography. It is worth recalling the luxurious palette dedicated to Mitzi Bekar, Christian Dior’s muse (the shadow palette has been released this spring),

or the palette, which was created by the makeup artist Tien in honor of his 30th anniversary of collaborating with Dior,

or the palette created in honor of the first haute couture collection in 1947. The design of the shadow palette is borrowed from Rene Gruau’s drawing, one of the first Dior posters (the 2010 edition).

This time, in summer 2011, a new page of Dior history is Lady Dior handbag which once inspired Lady Diana and nowadays brings joy to millions of women all over the world. Mind that the chosen color palette is contemporary. It was in this bright-red variant that the Lady Dior bag was presented in Dior’s spring-summer collection. The designers of the brand find the combination of a red bag with a blue tweed the most successful.

It is also worth saying that these palettes should not be regarded as a must-have thing. These are often very limited editions. For example, the palette dedicated to the first haute couture Dior collection was released in a limited edition of just 150 copies.

Artistic palettes are of particular interest to collectors and fans of the brand, and we simply need to enjoy them as a work of art.

Dior Spring 2011 Makeup Products

Premieres of spring and summer collections of Dior makeup are accompanied by significant changes. Dior has new faces, a new approach towards commercials, as well as new and interesting products.

Let us begin with new faces. Natalie Portman has been the face of Miss Dior Cherie fragrance since the beginning of this year. The advertising campaign has been filmed by Sofia Coppola, the celebrated director. And new images should appear at the end of this month.

In late March or early April we will have another premiere. Kate Moss will represent the famous Dior Addict lipsticks line. The production of 44 new shades and the commercial video of the new product are expected. And there is certainly another novelty about Dior’s being so active in the commercial video.

We also should expect the production of new shades of nail polish together with the new lipsticks. The new Rock Coat nail polish, a black coating which can be applied over any other color to make the nails glow in the vamp style, is in the focus of attention.

And some more rock shades are expected in spring.

Now, this is espionage news about the limited sale of the Aloha shade with some ultra-brilliant and vinyl effect (only from May 2 to 16 and only in some stores). The Aloha shade will be produced in a pair with another vinyl and brilliant “shocking pink” color. The price for each is about $35.

Dior Mitzah Bricard Makeup Collection

This spring, Dior presents a “leopard” collection of make-up. Its creation was inspired by Mitzah Bricard, Christian Dior’s famous muse. She is known to the fashionable society as a designer of hats. During her life, she adored wearing clothes with leopard motifs and could do that with a special chic and dignity.

Mitzah really had a strong influence on the great couturier. He admired her style of dress, and it was partly due to her that leopard prints appeared in Christian Dior’s collections. Since 1947, such things have always been in the lines of Christian Dior clothes.

It should be noted that, to our point of view, the collection is a little old-fashioned, at least for a couple of seasons. Because it was then that the leopard theme was on its peak. Although this year, too, the prints resembling “a leopard” do not seem to be a mauvais ton.

The collection of makeup called Mitzah Bricard Collection includes only three items: reticulation shadows and two limited edition shades of nail polish.

Reticulation is a real luxury, with the camel, brown, and tan shades. A sought-after thing!

The two nail polish shades are:

• 912: ebony,
• 622: camel

The cost is $ 21 dollars per bottle.

Mitzah Bricard was recalled by the Dior brand last year when a collection of fragrances Dior Couturier Parfumeur Collection appeared. Each of the fragrances was somehow connected with the biography of Christian Dior. And together with the smells of Maitre’s childhood and adolescence, Mitzah fragrance was produced.

Pink and Grey Dior Makeup Collection for Spring 2011

Spring 2011 makeup collection from Dior has already received its share of critique. Many specialists note that this collection does not look like a spring one at all. The collection features a lot of gray colors in combination with pink. Gray+pink is the combination from Christian Dior’s childhood, which he spent in Normandy. Art-directors at Dior House were inspired to choose this color combination by the first Christian Dior boutique, which was opened on Avenue Montaigne.

The Makeup collection includes the following products:

Serum de Rouge Lip Treatment, in two pink shades (#240, #460)

Addict Ultra Gloss, in shades #654, #707

Lipstick Rouge Dior Lip Color in pink shades (#540, #658)

Eyeshadow palettes:

Two versions of five-color combinations

Two four-color eyeshadow palettes

Mascara Diorshow 360 ( new with rotating brush)

Eyeliner in dark-grey color (#077)

One-color eyeshadow palette (#053)

Color moist powder with SPF 8, in three soft colors (#001, 002, 003)

Dior Vernis Nail Enamel, in two shades #108 and #707.

We started by noting that critics did not like this collection much. Indeed, when winter is over women want bright and juicy colors. But those of you inspired by gray will truly appreciate the variety of shades in this collection. Indeed, gray lipgloss is something unique and new to the makeup world. Overall, Dior Spring 2011 collection offers a very discreet and elegant image. Isn’t it the image that can reveal the inner beauty of any woman?
