Perfect for Party Sparkle: Dior Vernis in Black Sequins

There's no doubt that short, dark nails are firmly the order of the season, and of you've not tried the trend yet, then I urge you to your nearest department store where you can pick up a bottle of Dior's new, must-have polish.

Black Sequins, €20.50, is the party-season version of the black shade so many have been rocking recently, and the difference lies in subtle, sophisticated glitter particles - a clever update that makes this lacquer ideal for Christmas.

Layer on two coats and don't forget a top-coat - the glitter means it's more likely to chip after a couple of days if you don't.
