Dior Spring 2012 Garden Party Collection Swatches

So again, I am posting a long overdue set of swatches. The Dior Garden Party Collection consisted of two colours of polish. A purple called Forget Me Not and a green called Water Lilly. I passed on the green but I did swatch that one at sephora for you so I could show you both!

The purple was darker and dustier than I had imagined it would be and that was a very pleasant surprise!

The smell of roses though really does linger. Its frustrating and annoying and will most likely prevent me from wearing the purple very often at all. I have not yet tried, but I am hoping that if I put a 2 or 3 layers of top coat over top that it will solve the issue! I will let you know if I find a feasible solution.
