Dior proves that NUDE skin is in! Since the brand’s first red nail shade was launched 50 years ago in 1962, Dior Vernis shades have become the must-have accessories of each season as they always complement one’s overall look.

We think this year is most definitely the year of the lash and the year of the nail. There have been so many terrific nail lacquers and innovations, from Dior’s “Gris Montaigne” to the Sally Hansen nail strips that it’s hard to keep up with the trends.
Take Chanel for example. Did they simply have to tease us with that glittery Peridot nail lacquer for Fall 2011? It’s enigmatic, strong, powerful. We can’t wait to try our bottle once it arrives.

Upon entering the Conde Nast building, I felt I had entered a real life version of “The Devil Wears Prada.”  Every woman that passed by me was beautifully polished and exquisitely dressed.  It was a great break from my day job to be going to the exclusive Dior/Lucky Luncheon to explore the new Dior.com (new e-commerce site), play with existing and upcoming products and get a consultation with a Dior make-up artist.  As I entered the huge glass doors, I felt as though I was entering a customized heaven.
