Today I have the other two polishes in the Dior Sparkling Shine Collection for Spring 2013: Spring Ball 343 and Princess 553.
These two have the same finish as the other two, Délice 433 and Diablotine 643 - a juicy, sparkly shimmer and have the same formula and application. Perfection. You can click the links above to see my swatches of the other two and a comparison of them here.

Dior Spring Ball is described as a "sparkling peachy pink." It's a pretty shimmery, coral peach shimmer. Spring Ball applied beautifully and I used 3 light coats for opacity. Short nails will get by with two coats. No top coat for the photos.

Dior Princess is described as a "sparkling carnation pink." It's a very feminine and girly sparkly medium pink shimmer. I used 3 light coats and no top coat for the photos. Short nails will get by with 2 coats. No issues at all with formula or application.

And I thought I'd do a quick comparison here with Spring Ball, Délice and Diablotine since a few people have already asked. I haven't included Princess because it's obviously pink and very different.

What do you think of these? I wasn't convinced at first because I assumed they were sheer and my nails are too stained for sheer polish no matter how pretty. I was thrilled when I tried them and found the formula to be fantastic and a lot more opaque than I'd initially thought. I really like them all but of the four, I think I'd pick Diablotine as my favorite only because of the way it contrasts with my pale skin. Which is your favorite?
I bought this one from sephora.com, but this collection seems to be widely available in the US at Dior counters and department stores nation-wide. Retails for $25.00.
