My oldest untried - Dior #680

Dior - 680
I apologize in advance for the major picture spamming in this post, it's just that this polish is sooo pretty!

I bought this in 2007 and I have never used it. Ridiculous, I know. I found it a couple of months ago and (think) I added some polish thinner to it and swatched it on a nail wheel. And I was amazed at how pretty it is, and that I've never used it before!

It is a pink-purple-redish, sort of cerice(?) base packed with gold shimmer. The shimmer is not easy to see except for in sunlight or direct flash (flash picure below), however, when it does light up the nails simply glow!

Despite it being 6 years old it applied like a dream, I got really good coverage with only one coat, but decided to go for two. Why, I do not know, probably OCD. It did not dry quickly though, I have a feeling that if I didn't apply a quick drying top coat it would never have dried completely... That made it very forgiving when applying, but it's still an annoying quality.

It's a gorgeous polish, but I don't think it's in production anymore, I tried to google it, but couldn't find anything, so I'm sorry about that! There are probably similar polishes out there though if you want one like it :)

So, this is my entry for day 18 of the 31DC "your oldest untried"!
