High End Sunday - Dior Apparat 871

Happy Sunday everyone  I'm not sure if i'm alone, but I tend to have a hard time deciding which polishes to put on my blog.  I have so many polishes to choose from that I neglect so many great brands.  I call it "Polish Overload"!  Because of these reasons, I've decided to have a theme for each day of the week.  I'm hoping this will help me post a variety of great polishes that would otherwise sit in my drawers & get dusty.  The  themes are as follows:

• High End Sundays 
• Vintage Mondays
• Indie Tuesdays
• Nail Art Wednesdays
• Thrifty Thursdays
• Franken Fridays
• Swatch Fest Saturdays

I'm looking forward to finally having some type of order.  Let's see how long I can keep up with it lol.  Today is "High End Sunday" & I'm thrilled to introduce you to...

Dior Apparat 871

Apparat is from the 2011 Christmas Collection "Les Rouges Or".  In the bottle, the polish translates as a rich burgundy packed with gold shimmer.  But sadly on the nails, the gold shimmer less pronounced. On the nails it is a glowy vampy cranberry with gold, green & dark red micro shimmer.  Apparat is a one coater, super saturated drama queen & I mean this in a great way!  Normally I'm not into reds but this is an exception & I'm so happy I purchased it.

NOTD Different Dimension & Dior

Happy Tuesday everyone.  I received some EPIC nail mail from my sweetheart yesterday & decide wanted to wear ALL of them right away.  But unfortunately, I didn't have enough fingers.  Today I have for you an indie polish by Different Dimensions called Today Was a Fairytale & Dior Purple Mix.

Today Was A Fairytale is a gorgeous white jelly polish mixed with large pink & holographic circle glitters, multiple sized holographic glitters with the most beautiful pink/purple/holographic shimmer.  My iPhone could not do this polish justice.  I layered 2 coats over a basic white although it could very easily be worn on its own.  The formula was very good & the glitters did not have to be fished.

I also did a gradient using Dior's Purple Mix.  This was my very 1st Dior polish & let me tell you this sucka is SUPER pigmented!  The color actually dried much darker on the nail than in the bottle but I still thinks its very beautiful.  The formula was flawless!  I loved this mani!
