Dior Dune and Trench - Swatches and Review

Tonight I have two polishes from Dior's new Nude Collection for Fall 2012 - Dune and Trench. The other two colors, Charnelle and Grege, weren't really suited for my pale skin. Charnelle was a very sheer, very pale pink and Grege was a more beige color that also seemed pretty sheer in my quick in-store swatch.

But I did fall in love with and bring home Dune and Trench!

Dune is a rich chocolate creme with a little bit of a grey undertone. It does dry a teeny bit darker than the bottle color. Silky smooth, perfect two coat opaque finish, self-leveling. I had no issues with the formula at all.

Trench is a lighter, brown creme that reminds me of a cup of hot tea with cream and a slight rosy undertone. Same formula as Dune, smooth, silky finish, perfect application and formula, opacity in two coats. It also dries a teeny bit darker than the bottle color.

I also pulled out a few other colors to compare to give you a better idea of the color. Not looking for a dupe, just seeing how it stacks up. And it makes a great ombre mani!

Actually, Trench isn't very different from Chanel Particuliere!

So what do you think of the Dior Nude Collection? Will you be getting any of them?
