(Note: OK, I forgot to post this yesterday because I was so busy changing polishes and photographing them, so pretend this is Friday...)
Dior's New World Purple is what was formerly called Aztec Chocolate and I can't really understand the reasoning for the rename because it's definitely more of a chocolatey color, with only the slightest purple highlights visible in very strong light. Had they not changed the name, the mixup that resulted in my getting it might not have happened. Polish companies — Y U Do This?

#886 New World Purple |
First of all, I have to note how awful the brush was on this — shocking on a $24 bottle of polish. Seriously, I could have made a better brush if I'd combed my cat and taped the hairs to a manicure stick. The bristles were stiff and splayed out so much that if I'd purchased it online instead of at the Dior counter of Nordstrom I'd have immediately assumed I'd been ripped off with a fake. At least the formula was such that it flowed together well enough but it needed some serious clean-up afterward. I'm hoping that this was an anomaly because I haven't read of this being an issue with the line; in fact several blogs have commented on how good their brushes are.
The color is a warm, metallic chocolate-y color (as in Aztec Chocolate, not as in New World Purple!) but if you are in a blue room or happen to be wearing a blue top, you will see the faintest purple-y tone to the shimmers. The application was easy enough, although the brush strokes are fairly obvious (I blame that mutant brush for this.) It dried fairly quickly, and I used my usual top coat of Seche Vite.

Dior's "Shadow" sort of reminds me of OPI's "Teas-y Does it" Most of the pictures on Google make it look sparklier than it is :P
