Dior Vernis Gris City


    Dior recently launched Gris City as part of their Dior Vernis Collection. These polishes are named after the three cities that embody fashion and luxury; Paris, London and New York.

    (Gris Montaigne, Bond Street, NY 57th)

    Gris Montaigne is reminiscent of the iconic House of Dior. It's a stunning opaque gray with the slightest touch of blue. It is my favorite in the line.

    Bond Street is a dark gray infused with a deep blue, inspired by London fog. This color is more posh than a traditional navy; it's complicated and luxe.

    NY 57th is the address of Dior's boutique in NYC. This metallic gray reminds me of freshly cleaned pavement on the streets of New York, when the light hits in that just-so way that makes New York seem magical.

    I'm new to Dior polish so for those of you also new to the line, the brush shape is slightly different from most polishes. Instead of being straight across or full and rounded, the brush is slightly rounded and flatter than most. I am also not usually good at painting my nails and this brush shape makes it slightly easier for me.

    I am loving the colors for the end of winter! For whatever it's worth to you, I've had the best success using CND Stickey as as base coat with these polishes. Normally, I use Seche, but Seche and Dior didn't play nice on my fingers and my polish chipped while I slept (no lie!). Since changing the base coat, I've had nothing but gorgeous nails for days! These retail for $21 each on Dior's website and in select boutiques.

    Product was sent for review. Dior does not test on animals.
