I Love Expensive-Looking Nails, and This Polish Brand Is My Secret Weapon
I am a creature of luxury. When it comes to my beauty products, I love to follow a multistep skincare routine, slather myself in rich body butters, and put high-end makeup products on my face. The same is also true for my nails—I want them to look as good as they possibly can.
My secret weapon for nails that look like I just stepped out of a celebrity manicurist's chair? Dior nail polish. The brand has tons of incredible nail colors that last and last, without a chip in sight. This is one luxury beauty product that you'll be happy to have in your arsenal, and it won't even break the bank. Keep reading for the best Dior nail polish colors of all time. And since I live for luxury beauty, I also paired each color with its Dior beauty match (you're welcome in advance).
1. Dior Vernis in Rouge 999
Described as the "iconic Dior red," it would be a crime to not list this polish first. This is the perfect balanced red—not too blue-toned, not too orange-leaning—and it's guaranteed to look good on everyone. This is the kind of red nail polish that's so classic, it's practically a nude.

I know it's a base coat, but hear me out. This base coat has a slight tint to it and helps smooth and fill any cracks in the nail's surface, making it the perfect polish to use if you want to try the "naked" nail trend. It's a cult favorite for a reason and it absolutely deserves a spot in your collection.
