NOTD: Dior Vernis Coppery Ginger
Sometimes I act really strangely. I get all excited about buying new nailpolish, and then I just put my new loot in my polish drawer and forget about it. That’s what happened with today’s polish, Dior Vernis Coppery Ginger.
So yesterday I was tidying up in said drawer, and I was going back and forth trying to decide which polish to use for my next mani. Eventually, I picked this one, and now I regret never trying it earlier.
Coppery Ginger really lives up to it’s name, being a light copper metallic. And it’s so shiny, it almost looks like I have small copper plates on my nails! It’s neutral, but not boring, and that’s how I like it.
Application is good, and I really like the flat shaped brush. Because of the metallic finish, expect brushstrokes! I have still not figured out how to apply metallics without getting brushstrokes, so for now I just have to live with it. Two coats make this one opaque.
I took a lot of pictures in different lighting, but the ones which came out best were taken in direct sunlight and indoors without flash. So that’s what you get! 
What do you think of Coppery Ginger? And do you think it’s worth it to pay extra for “high-end” nailpolish?
Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day!

I think this polish is a really lovely warm shade, I have not yet seen a golden/coppery shade like it. Have you checked out ChG’s Khrome collection? they are gorgeous metallic color and, surprisingly enough, they are exempt of the “brush stroke” syndrom.
I don’t have many higher end polishes, only 3 chanel ones, that are definitely NOT worth it in my opinion. Honestly I have drugstore polishes that apply a lot better and last a lot longer. However I admit that from time to time a more expensive polish can be considered as a very pleasant “treat”
I’ve seen the Khrome collection, but honestly I’m not that crazy about metallics. I don’t like how they show every little bump and ridge on my nails.
I feel the same way about high end polishes, they are not better than drugstore polishes, but it’s nice to have some luxury once in a while.
Pretty shade, though not for me. It has a soft quality to it. I have a couple of Chanel’s (not particularly worth it) and some Illamasqua (totally worth it) and some untrieds (Rocha, Estee Lauder)
Oh yeah, I really want to try Illamasqua, they look gorgeous!
