Everyday Nail Polish

I can’t believe it’s been that long! I’ve been following you since well before that and this is still my favorite polish all of these years later! I just bought myself a new bottle last month.

I recommend Cirque Colors, gorgeous shades, many with flakes, really pretty,and long lasting, I can go two weeks without any chipping, and they’re all hand made, check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

I splurged on this for my birthday, and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. For those saying that there are dupes – yes, there are, but they are not the same exactly. Nail Glow has an almost luminous/neon blue tone when you turn in the light, and this is what gives that cool instant brightening effect on your nails, and cancels out any yellowness.

I haven’t seen another similar product that does this. Not to say that they don’t make you look lovely too, but Nail Glow is just beyond!! I’m in love!

I use just one coat as that’s enough for me, with a top coat over the top to eke it out.

I love Dior Nail Glow! I can’t say enough about it. It’s not cheap, but it lasts for days and gives your nails a natural looking, somewhat shiny pink gloss. You won’t regret splurging on it!

Do you need to use a base and topcoat with this Dior polish?

This is just what I need for a pick me up and the perfect everyday polish. Thank you!!

I have to share that Essie has made a wonderful “dupe” for Dior Nail Glow called “Pink Glove Service” – looks exactly the same but 1/4 the price!

Not to mention. The price! A really well priced, cruelty free alternative is ORLYs Bare Rose french manicure polish. Its only about $7 and looks just as good. Really any slight pi k or rose tinted clear polish for french manicures will do. But ORLY is the best.

I love Nail Kale and some of the other Nails Inc. polishes. They go on smooth and are cheaper than the Dior.

Love Dior glow, almost the only polish I wear all year long. Going on 5 years. Hope this doesn’t mean I’m in a polish rut

Just wanted to add, in my quest to streamline my routines, I have quit the nail salon and shellac in favor of at home care. For me, I found my nails are still weak and a bit thin at this point.

My tip: only 1 coat of polish.

I have to be selective in what polish doesn’t look streaky (this dior option would be perfect), but with 1 coat I don’t deal with the peeling and can get extra mileage on my manicure. With a traditional two coats and base coat, it all starts to lift by DAY 2.

I *love* Dior’s Nail Glow, BUT if you’re interested in an alternative option (with extra flair!) , try “Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat.”

The reason I love this stuff is that it has the exact same effect as Dior’s, but it’s a nail strengthener and when it hits UV light it almost has a purple tint! It’s my go-to: no issues with destroying my fragile nails and love having that fun color changing effect. Like a mood ring for sunlight on your nails!

This looks really pretty! And such a nice idea to highlight popular past posts. Just read this while waiting for my nails to dry. Love using ridge filler instead of polish right now. Just one coat, dries really fast and looks as if I made an effort :-) totally recommend.

I will be a forever fan of that polish after the original post!

I purchased this polish but it killed my nails! Be aware, it’s not kind. Also, Dior sent it in the most ridiculous, over-the-top packaging. Not environmentally friendly to say the least.

Sadly, I don’t recommend it.

This is my absolute and only nail polish. LOVE IT!!!

I mixed a drop or two of fuschia into a clear Essie polish. A couple shakes and it’s good to go. Has the same effect at 1/3 of the price of Dior! (add the pink one drop at a time and test as you go to make sure you don’t over-pigment)

Does anyone have a non-toxic recommendation?

Wearing this polish now! Because of this blog post from so many years ago! It’s the best! The polish and the blog!

Give Ballet Slippers or Mademoiselle a try from Essie – very similar look. But I think a must-have is cuticle oil. There are lots of different ones – Essie has apricot oil and Pacifica has rose oil but both make your nails look amazing with or without polish!

Wow I have been through 3 bottles since 2014! Love this nail polish so much.

I LOVE the idea of this, but does anyone know if there’s a product that enhances your nails without the shine? I love the look of natural nails but would love something that enhances the colour and texture of mine – without the give-away sheen of polish. I’ve been looking for something ever since this post originally came out! Can anyone put me out of my misery?

P.S. Love reviewing these older posts! It’s amazing really how little styles have changed over the last 13 years. I quite often refer back the old hair tutorials – so cute!

I’m loving this flashback content — it’s like catching up with an old friend or wearing an old outfit that never disappoints. I finally lashed out and bought a bottle of this polish today, after surviving a four-hour committee meeting at work ? xx

Dior nail-glow has been my go-to since this post! Love it. Especially since it doesn’t show as much when it’s starting to wear off.

I bought this after reading the original post and have used it exclusively on my fingernails ever since. I like that it is impossible to mess up and also dries faster than regular clear nail polish- I have 3 kids under the age of 5 and this is the only way I’m getting a manicure! Thanks for consistently great beauty tips!
