Ono! I can practically taste the rainbow shave ice 
already. Dior’s new Electric Tropics Collection has me thinking about Hawaii, and like the islands themselves, the 13-piece release for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails is a study in contrasts — as in sun-kissed skin behind bright neon nails and lip colors.
Below is the full list of products, but here are a few things currently catching my eye…
- Dior Vernis Electric Tropics Nail Duos ($26 each) — To ramp up the shine of these florescent shades, Dior mixed in an ultra-shiny top coat, and it gives nails painted with these polishes a mirror-like effect.
- Dior Addict Crystal Glosses ($27 each) — Available in four shades with different finishes and levels of opacity. Dior packed these with something they call a “polymer gel,” which gives them a volumizing, hydrating texture (oddly, they compare it to vinyl).
- Diorskin Healthy Glow Powders ($46 each) — Isn’t the woven print on these pans to die for? The shades in each compact are designed to be mixed together and applied to the face (and the cheeks!) for a healthy glow.

March 11th, 2011 at 7:05 pmCool! I’ve been wanting the polish ever since I saw the first photo of it! However, the quints look a little boring… and very similar to each other.

March 11th, 2011 at 7:49 pmThe woven pattern really is tdf – now here’s to hoping they swatch just as prettily come summer 😛

March 11th, 2011 at 11:38 pmOooh, that first eyeshadow quint is gorgeous!
I think I’m going to purchase some makeup. I broke my toe on Thursday and I need something to cheer me up, haha. I’m either on crutches or am hopping everywhere on one foot like an injured bunny rabbit. People stare at me like I have five heads or something, lol.

DalaLuz says
March 12th, 2011 at 10:31 amThe Glo Powder looks awesome!!!!
And how come Dior still puts spongeapplicators in their palettes instead of a nice small travel brush like BB?
Ariel says
March 12th, 2011 at 10:50 amOooooh love those powders, especially Sunset! I might have to rethink getting one of the new Chanel bronzers. The e/s palettes look promising too, but I find Dior’s e/s to be hit or miss so I will wait for the reviews.
Do you know the release date for the collection?
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
March 12th, 2011 at 11:51 amthe Glo powders and the lip glosses look fantastic! Can’t wait!
ALEXUTZA says
March 12th, 2011 at 11:56 amThe nail polish and the glosses brings me the vibe of summer, but the eyeshadow palette is not too impressive. Too many neutrals.

Emma says
March 12th, 2011 at 1:22 pmThat first healthy glow powder looks perfect for me, but not sure about the price. Then again, it is Dior and the closest that I’d ever get to owning something that says Dior 🙂
Tiffany says
March 12th, 2011 at 2:32 pmoooh, I want the lighter of the glow powders. so pretty!!!!
