Princess Diana's Favorite Red Nail Polish Screams Empowerment
By HANNAH DARLING FENN
The iconic nail lacquer that Princess Diana was so often seen wearing is Dior Vernis in the shade of Rouge 999, which retails on Amazon for $33.
The opulent nail polish is described as "protective nail care" by Dior because of nourishing ingredients like peony and pistachio extracts.
The rich, creamy gel formula of the polish glides on with ease. The wide, ergonomic brush that comes with it makes for a smooth and even first coat.
The polish's consistency is thick enough that a single application would suffice, but to get the full effect of the lavish formula, opt for a second coat.
This well-pigmented polish has fumes that aren't as overwhelming as those from other nail lacquers. It's a classic red with no strong orange or blue undertones.
