Hello. I had been having the worst time with my computer. Blogger kept telling me my version of IE was not compatible even though I had the most recent update. I ended up just making Safari my default browser, which seems to be working for now(fingers crossed) so on with the show.

| Two coats with salon top coat |
Porcelaine was the only shade from Dior’s Spring 2014 collection to catch my eye. It’s a beautiful, creamy baby blue that was opaque with two coats. I love the way the color pops against my skin, but is still muted enough to work in a moderately conservative office setting.
Pastels are a no brainer for spring so there are likely to be a lot of dupes out there. I went through my pretties and found the colors above for some comparisons.

| All colors swatched with two coats |
Dior Porcelaine and Zoya Blu were virtually identical when swatched on my nails. Above you can see that on close inspection Zoya Blu is about half a shade deeper than Porcelaine. The Dior Saint Tropez was added mainly for contrast, and the Chanel Riva is much lighter and not nearly as creamy or opaque as Porcelaine.

| Dior Porcelaine & Zoya Blu |
And here are the two sisters from another mister side by side. Dior Porcelaine retails for $24. I got mine at Nordstrom. Zoya Blu retails for $9 at Zoya.com. I also saw a bottle of Zoya Blu at Ulta this weekend.
I don’t think you can go wrong with such a knock out color so take your pick, and let your conscience be your guide. Let it not be said that we here at ofthecomely are enablers. Polish hoarders, addicts, fanatics , lovers yes. Enablers… never 🙂
Have a great week!
