Dior Bikini - Swatches, Review and Comparisons

This evening I'll be showing you Dior Bikini, part of Dior's Croisette Collection for Summer 2012. St. Tropez is the other part of the nail polish duo, but it's a re-release - previously created especially for the Dior Boutique opening in St. Tropez and was a Limited Edition. I'll be showing you St. Tropez, which is a light greenish blue creme, sometime soon.

Dior Bikini is a dusty spicy orange creme that applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. No issues to report. Shown in various lighting with two coats and a top coat.

To see how they compared to some of my other orange-toned colors, I've swatched a few of them for you.








None are dupes as you can see. Chanel Orange Fizz is a bit closer to Dior Bikini than I'd expected. I have both now, but if I didn't, I'd probably only purchase Dior Bikini. It's a smidge darker and I prefer Dior's formula and brush to Chanel's.

What do you think? Is this a summer color you go for?

Dior Bikini and St. Tropez are available in US stores now and through various on-line e-tailers. Retails in the US for $23.00.
