I love that you made a 20 minute in depth video about nail glow - we are all obsessed with it in your community 😂 I like the new packaging - it looks modern and clean chic. I will stick to Glow n Grow from NailsInc for now, it wears well on my nails. There's more clear pink polished out there that give a hint of colour without the blue effect in sunlight for clients that can't stand any of the brightening blue glow
Literally in a bath hearing your speech between water killing vs water being bad. 😂 ❤ As a fellow science nerd, it's helpful to know there's more than one group fighting this specific cause of misinformation. "Correlation =/ causation!" As I've been taught.
I just discovered your channel but i am already obsessively watching your videos, i love your scientific & no-nonsense approach! Thanks for all the effort you put into your great content 🙏❤
Thank you for this video and the time and effort you put into creating it. Sometimes if something is a consistently good quality product don't change it! More than likely in this case the change was to cut production cost since the added ingredients appear to make no significant improvements to the original formula but (sadly) thicken it!
I really liked the consistency and lasting effect on my nails of the original one. Guess I'd have to run out and get the old one. I'd be interested in another experiment of having the new one on your left hand instead. Really sad about the ingredient removal. :(
Really disappointing with this new reformulation :/ I was so schocked to see that the new one lasts much less! The dior nail glow has been my holy grail nail polish ever since I got it. I also saw that they increased the price on all their polishes 🥲 I have to try it myself, but the price increase has been insane. Id love one more review where you used the new one on ur left hand 🥺❤️
I am glad I stocked up and purchased 3 original Dior Nail Glow. The new price is now $32 per bottle 😢 I typically applied 2 coats and sometimes 3 coats.
@itslowtide4690 I ordered directly from the Dior website. You will enjoy their gift box 🎁 and gifts with your order: you will not regret it. I am now a gold status and nearly platinum status.
Oh, Anna!!!! I was able to find a bottle of the original Dior nail glow, second hand!!! It’s like new and basically a new bottle. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get it!!!
Thank you so much for this video (and for all of your wonderful videos). This video was particularly interesting to me as I recently ordered the new Dior Glow from Dior and when it arrived I could not even use it as the chemical smell was so overwhelming. I returned it to Dior. Luckily I have a decent stock of the old version as this is my absolute favourite nail polish.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! I just bought their NEW FORMULA nail glow polish from Dior and IT'S RUBBISH , 24 h after appling polish started to pill off , so lost a half of it in 2 days! where old one stayed on for a week. Contacted Dior, they do not want to refund money, no help nothing LOL. I m going to inform other people to AVOID IT, better buy cheap one as quality will be the same or better than NEW DIOR NAIL GLOW :)
So glad you made this video , I was just trying to restock because i finished my last Dior glow. I couldn’t find it on Sephora 😩, it was my favorite my go to nail polish . The only thing that did annoyed me was when applying sunscreen on my hands ,the nail polish would fade off . Almost come off in that moment . I wonder if this new version is better when it comes to that??
Yes, I would love to see you swap the polish on the other hands. The more that I do see this nail polish I enjoy it. But I do lean in the dazzle dry department with their base and topcoat only. But this Chanel nail polish would be a good test to do again. Thank you so much for your info, instructions, and help with taking care of our nails.
Thank you for this! I'll check it out! I'm currently using the Nails inc version xx Update: The Denny version doesn't contain a fluorescent brightener. So it won't give the glow effect (Nails inc version does have the brightener). May as well buy the Barry M version for much cheaper! xx
PS. Some polishes (like the Catrice Glossing Glow) contain BIS(T-BUTYL BENZOXAZOLYL) THIOPHENE as an optical brightener www.catrice.eu/es-es/p/9404140001/glossing-glow-nail-lacquer
Oops, they did it again! New color range, discontinued or renamed classics, undertone variations (current Massaï-Trafalgar has a tone more blue) and spiky uncomfy packaging. I hope that the Glow is, at least, the same if not even better. Play! 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Such a bummer about new formula. I recently bought Zoya's Naked Manicure perfector in lavender to see if it could be a dupe. I much prefer the lavander to Dior pink because I'm a cool-toned pale gal and the pink was the only thing I disliked with Dior. And in cold or heat, my nails glowed pink. But, old formula Dior was superior in all other aspects. Dry time, one coat amazingness and when dry, stayed glossy perfect. Zoya looked great when applied but took a bit longer to dry and next morning my nails had all the dents abd creases from bed. Bizarre. You can apply Dior b4 bed and wake up with perfect nails. Next will try Deborah Lippmann Genie in a Bottle and will report back.
Thank you for a very informative video! I think it would be interesting to see how they work if you switched hands. When you were discussing ingredients it made me think of evaluating skincare. Phenoxyethanol is only allowed to be a maximum of 1% in skincare in the US, so any actives listed after that means it's a really low amount.

The original Dior Nail Glow was far too red & purple for me, hence I switched to Essie Hard to Resist which is a hardener, but the color is perfect for me. I must add that I have highly colored natural nails with really good moons (lunulas) and definition.
I’ve been waiting for this. I was afraid this would happen. I wonder what they do with the old formulas when they sweep them off the shelves. When the viewer first posted Dior had changed this formula-I tried to buy the old formula but couldn’t find it anywhere! I’m so disappointed. 😢
Hi Anna, thanks for the great comparison video! I was wondering, have you tried Catrice's version of this? If yes, is it in any way similar? I never tried the Dior, but I'm really liking the Catrice one 😊
Yes I have it and I think I made a video about it but never ended up editing it. Oops. The Catrice Glossing Glow is way brighter, looks quite blue compare to Dior. I have to find that video and edit it.
@@laicarkaninmiliel7777 Catrice's cheaper sister brand 'essence' has a very pink colored clear nail strengthener named "the grow 'n' glow nail care polish" that's really great for my thin too flexible nails. It might be worth trying out. It doesn't have a UV glow as far as I remember, and it isn't a replacement for the dior one. But if you like the Catrice one it might be worth trying out. I haven't tried the Catrice one, as I wasn't aware they had a nail strengthener of this color. I have bought many of Catrice's other colored nail strengthening nailpolishes, and they've been really good for my nails.
Hi Anna! I've been loving your channel for few weeks, since my gentle manicure journey started🥰 Love your and Mr. Salon's Life swatches, it really helps a lot with color choices and is fun to watch🥰 I was wondering if you could consider swatching some more Cuccio polishes? This is one of the more affordable and easier to purchase brands in PL. Thank you for your great work and greetings from Northern Poland❤
Witam Edyto! I have tried some of the Cuccio's polishes and the formulas are great. I'm not a fan of the brushes though. They are not cheap here but also not crazy expensive (8€).
I have watched quite a lot of your videos, I am an older woman with not the most attractive of hands and nails having very bad ridges which open and feel rough I decided to try some of your suggestions. I have been using oil on my nails and pushing back the cuticles and my cuticles look much better, no improvement in the ridges , however my nails look as if they have dirt under them, which they haven’t. Do you have any thoughts as to what is causing this because I feel very self conscious about them
I have that one too but majority of my clients don’t like it because it looks too “weird”, blue (bright) on their nails outside. They prefer the natural look of Dior
Hello 😊 I have found a nail brightener with identical inci like old nail glow but cheaper and bigger quantity. The name of the brand is Herome. It is a dutch brand. I highly recommend. Would be intresting to see your thought about this one
Thank you so much for this review. I love Nail Glow and have a little stock of the original formula. I just went on Sephora to order some more and it said that this product is no longer shipped to the US. That must be why they reformulated it. So sad about this. 😢
Thank you for this video. My first Nail Glow purchase is the new formula, and I have to say, I am disappointed I paid the price for it. It is fine for a day or two and then peels at the corners and then lifts off. Also, it has become very thick after a few uses, and the brush is extremely thick and almost not able to be used. Any tips to revive the brush? I don’t think I will be spending the money on Dior in the future….curious to see what you and others think of the new formula as you continue to use it!
@@TheSalonLifeOh, sorry, I should have explained better! The brush is fine, but it has layers of polish on it, should I clean it with acetone? The polish seems fine, it just appears to accumulate at the neck and on the brush, I hope this makes sense! Thank you!
Hello! Not super relevant to the video, but what MelodySusie lamp do you have? I know you typically do nature manicures, but I do a mix of both and am interested in a lamp that switches light sources!
Hi Anna, what a great video. I will try to the purchase the original Dior Nail Glow. I already have one but i need some stock. I think the new Dior Nail Glow is not that special. Do you now if there are other brands witch are similar as the original Dior Nail Glow?
Thank you for this interesting review. I have the old one. If the new one’s wear is less effective, do you have any other brand similar product to recommend me. Best !
I just bought Le Mini Macaron’s Je Glow. I found it on Ulta for $11.00 same volume .33 as Dior’s. They only carry it online, though. It also has the same exact fluorescent ingredient which gives the brightening effect in natural light. Almost three days of wear and no chips.
Thank you for your informative video. What was the outcome when you put the new formula on your left hand. Curious to see what those results were. Really enjoying your channel 💕
Would this nail glow be a good product for me to use. I have spent the last several months using nothing but oils and jojoba on my nails trying to heal my nails. I want something to wear on them but I don’t want damage
Thank you so much for such in-depth video on the comparison. Can I just mentioned the price difference between the two: old version £18, new £27!!! For the £9 difference with 1/10 drop of extra sweet almond oil and a wee tad of extra paeonia officiants flowers extract? I also love the Nails Inc version, had it for months and used it loads but recently even though I kept the bottle in a dark cupboard but the colour of the polish has faded from bright pink to a muted pink now.
Too much water (like sitting in a bath for an hour) makes the nails very flexible. It’s takes a while for the water to evaporate from the nail plate. Nails when they are wet they are more prone to damage so be gentle with them
I absolutely adore you and your videos. I learn so much from you as a nail tech! 😊 I have heard from another nail educator who represents a soft gel brand saying that their soft gel is better than other gel brands because the water evaporation is better with their soft base gel or color gel. But when I heard of that I quite couldn’t understand why that matters. Because I know all soft gel is porous and should it do the same job? Then why that brand is better than other brand? It’s so confusing. I wonder if you have any insights for this matter. Thank you!!
Thanks for this thorough video! One thing I’m not sure I agree is that polish must be porous since acetone removes it. I think it just starts dissolving it layer by layer.
Yes it dissolves it because it’s porous. Otherwise how would it able to do it? Hard gels are not very porous so they can’t be dissolved. The less porous, the less easy is for something to dissolve. Nail polish is absolutely porous
I only purchased few months back so I don't know which I have-old or new-I love it as my favorite and will go through several bottles in next year. The packaging has silver cap vs white if that is the identifying point. The Brush is great!
Do you have any video (or could you make one) elaborating on the polished vs naked nails and water absorption? I've always read/been told that polished nails will be safer against breakage etc -- is that not true? :O
I just put a fresh coat on usually day 3 or 4 to freshen the look. I also use Dior gel like top coat. I love Dior Glow. I am heartbroken that the formula has changed 💔
I guess but many people expect a 31€ polish not to have to be reapplied daily. Overall I’m not a fan of reapplying polish for several reasons. I have to make a video about it 🤔
Sadly, I was able to purchase the old formula, but it seems this product isn't for me. I had such high hopes that this would be an alternative to when I want to give my nails a break from CND Shellac. I applied two coats and after two days, most of the nails were chipped. So, I'll be using it on my toe nails (expensive toe nail polish), sigh...
Hi Karen, it's worth knowing that polish lasts better on normal and healthy nails. Nothing stays well on damaged nails which can be the case after gel polish removal :)
I have that one too and it's quite brighter, more blue. Way more blue. Also I find that Perfect Formula yellows quite a bit after 2-3 days. When you remove it with acetone you will see a yellow residue on the cotton. I love their formula, how it applies and how quickly it dries. Packaging is bad though.
Hello, yes but we don’t have any new polishes to show and other than Dazzle Dry which I use in the salon we don’t receive any free (PR) polishes from companies. What polishes are you interested in?
@@TheSalonLife Oh. Well if you aren't getting PR, I guess you won't be swatching collections anymore. I used to love your one color comparisons like Essie reds and things like that. Thanks for asking.
As much as I love the look of the Dior, I would never use it because it's not cruelty free. That being said, sadly it seems as though they've done what so many are doing these days, keeping the price the same, or even increasing the price, but producing an inferior product. I can't help but wonder if they are planning on introducing a top coat that is meant to be used with this new formula so that they can sell more products & make more money........? I've read lots of reviews also for the original one & the packaging was always something they raved about. I think the new version with a white plastic lid looks cheaper in comparison. I would definitely be interested in seeing a reverse wear video if you could do one. I have no plans to buy the product & am happy using the Nails inc version until something better, that is also vegan & cruelty free, comes along. Thank you Anna! 🤗😘🥰
Hello AACE73. I wonder what cruelty free label really means. I think its a marketing term for the most part as the term is not very regulated. Here is the info from FDA www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-claims/cruelty-freenot-tested-animals In EU cosmetics are not tested on animals (it's been like this for a while) and as you can see the formula is vegan. There are no animal derived ingredients. www.qse-academy.com/eu-cosmetics-regulation-on-animal-testing/ more info from FDA suggesting that it might be different for USA. www.fda.gov/cosmetics/product-testing-cosmetics/animal-testing-cosmetics
Hello, yes they do but acrylates copolymer is ok. Polymers are ok. Acrylate monomers are a problem. www.paulaschoice.com/ingredient-dictionary/ingredient-acrylates-copolymer.html
I’m so disappointed with the new formula. I can literally scratch it right off my nails, it cracks and flakes. The old one would stay on for weeks, although it would lose it’s pink hue, but at least it stayed on. The new one also feels like sandpaper on the surface, for the first couple of hours. Such tragedy😢
You are absolutely right, just got a new formula and I am very disappointed with it. contact Dior and complaint about it if you can. they must bring an old one back.
Have you ever considered going to school to become a chemist? It would give great backbone to your business and you’d get to stop saying “I don’t know, I’m not a chemist”…..but I think you do know ❤
Hm. I really have :) but there is a saying in Polish “you don’t have to buy a brewery to have (drink) a good beer”. I don’t know where I would find a time to be honest. I barely have the time to deal with salon and TH-cam When you think about it, it would be better to rather pay a good cosmetic chemist to consult with them. I have to find one though :))
The new formula completely peeled off my nails in one day. Its awful! I called dior and they are reformulating ALL their products to clean ingredients.
I didn't see anything about changing to "clean" ingredients. As you can see the ingredients are pretty much the same with an addition of some marketing ingredients that don't really do anything other than sounding good :) It's like putting 1/100 of a blueberry in a cupcake claiming that now it's a health food.
@TheSalonLife I had to call regarding the poor performance of the new formula and I asked why the reformulated as well as why they only have 4 foundations now. They said they were switching to clean formulas. They said in nail glow there was one particular ingredient banned in most countries. This new formula is unacceptable. It looks great but lasts ONE day.
OK, thank you for letting me know! I can't stand the whole "clean" marketing because it means absolutely nothing and I'm surprised that they are saying this. I wonder which was the ingredient "banned" in most countries that they removed. The only thing it does not have is the sunscreen BENZOPHENONE-3 (sunscreen, prevents color fading and discolouration) which is hardly "banned" anywhere and CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE which is a film forming, very common and not banned anywhere. So I would LOVE to know which ingredient they mean.... can you call back and ask?
@TheSalonLife yes I will. My initial call was answered to dior beauty. and the guy I spoke to answered calls from home. I asked if he was in store because I wanted to know why so many of their products pulled off shelves so he may have said more than he was supposed to. I'm in Orlando fl and none of the counters have stock. Even dior site has very few varieties of foundations, mascara, etc. I'll let you know what they say. Thanks for your great videos
Thank you so so much!! I messaged them through WhatsApp and we will see if I get an answer. I will share the info!! PS. Sometimes people say things that they don't know much about and they say generic stuff that sounds good.

@@TheSalonLifeI saw you post this elsewhere. Very interesting and disappointing, but I still try to seek out cruelty free as much as possible in the event it could be so.
To make it a fair test you should redo it but switch hands. I believe you are right handed which will have contributed to the wear and tear to only the tips of your nails.
Hello Ameenah! Thank you for writing! You can still do nice gentle manicures and skin care and just skip the nail polish at the end. I'm not an expert on religious requirements, but here is the best info I found on this topic "Breathable"/Halal nail polishes- the facts bit.ly/3b74TmB
I'm sorry but it's not up to me what languages TH-cam provides translations for ;( I will be double checking and correcting the English captions for this video now

@@laicarkaninmiliel7777 Catrice's cheaper sister brand 'essence' has a very pink colored clear nail strengthener named "the grow 'n' glow nail care polish" that's really great for my thin too flexible nails. It might be worth trying out. It doesn't have a UV glow as far as I remember, and it isn't a replacement for the dior one. But if you like the Catrice one it might be worth trying out. I haven't tried the Catrice one, as I wasn't aware they had a nail strengthener of this color. I have bought many of Catrice's other colored nail strengthening nailpolishes, and they've been really good for my nails.
Hi Anna! I've been loving your channel for few weeks, since my gentle manicure journey started🥰 Love your and Mr. Salon's Life swatches, it really helps a lot with color choices and is fun to watch🥰 I was wondering if you could consider swatching some more Cuccio polishes? This is one of the more affordable and easier to purchase brands in PL. Thank you for your great work and greetings from Northern Poland❤
Witam Edyto! I have tried some of the Cuccio's polishes and the formulas are great. I'm not a fan of the brushes though. They are not cheap here but also not crazy expensive (8€).
Hello, Anna! What can you say about Herome natural nail whitener, is it the same as Dior Nail Glow?
It’s been a while but I love this channel and I been wondering this lol
I have watched quite a lot of your videos, I am an older woman with not the most attractive of hands and nails having very bad ridges which open and feel rough I decided to try some of your suggestions. I have been using oil on my nails and pushing back the cuticles and my cuticles look much better, no improvement in the ridges , however my nails look as if they have dirt under them, which they haven’t. Do you have any thoughts as to what is causing this because I feel very self conscious about them
Thank you for such a detailed review. I have the older version that I will sparingly use now since I would prefer the longevity of older version.
Please let us know how it wears when switching hands!
I bought the new version a few days back, have since applied it twice. Both times, it chipped in less than a day.
I bought myself a nail glow from Catrice a German drugstore brand for not more than 4 Euros. Looks absolutely the same.
I have that one too but majority of my clients don’t like it because it looks too “weird”, blue (bright) on their nails outside.
They prefer the natural look of Dior
I’m looking forward to your update if there is any difference in wear by switching sides.
Hello 😊 I have found a nail brightener with identical inci like old nail glow but cheaper and bigger quantity. The name of the brand is Herome. It is a dutch brand. I highly recommend. Would be intresting to see your thought about this one
Hello, I have it and it's much brighter, more blue than Dior.
Loveeee your videos!!! Ugh why does this keep happening! (Opi nail envy is diff now too) curious if you ever tried Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat?
Yes I have that one too! I think I have a video about it. Let me look for it
Nail Brighteners & Whiteners. Comparing 10 brands from $ to $$$.

Thank you so much for this review. I love Nail Glow and have a little stock of the original formula. I just went on Sephora to order some more and it said that this product is no longer shipped to the US. That must be why they reformulated it. So sad about this. 😢
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for this video. My first Nail Glow purchase is the new formula, and I have to say, I am disappointed I paid the price for it. It is fine for a day or two and then peels at the corners and then lifts off. Also, it has become very thick after a few uses, and the brush is extremely thick and almost not able to be used. Any tips to revive the brush? I don’t think I will be spending the money on Dior in the future….curious to see what you and others think of the new formula as you continue to use it!
Looks like you got a wonky brush. Can you return it? Did you get it from Dior?
@@TheSalonLifeOh, sorry, I should have explained better! The brush is fine, but it has layers of polish on it, should I clean it with acetone? The polish seems fine, it just appears to accumulate at the neck and on the brush, I hope this makes sense! Thank you!
Love the old version..
In this case.. Will be looking for a new similar polish 😕
Try Le Mini Macaron’s Je Glow. Has same fluorescent brighter. Looks the same in natural light, three times less the cost for same amount.
Hello! Not super relevant to the video, but what MelodySusie lamp do you have? I know you typically do nature manicures, but I do a mix of both and am interested in a lamp that switches light sources!
Hi Anna, what a great video. I will try to the purchase the original Dior Nail Glow. I already have one but i need some stock. I think the new Dior Nail Glow is not that special. Do you now if there are other brands witch are similar as the original Dior Nail Glow?
How does this compare to the Armor Nail Gel, the as seen on tv pink one? I love that one, it gives the same purplish tint
Check out this video please th-cam.com/video/jvl2ASMkCVY/w-d-xo.html
Chanel have a new version of La Base Camelia. That could be a great Old vs. New video too 💅
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for all your research 😊 why did they mess with perfection?
Right!!???
Someone somewhere in a more bureaucratic position had to justify that they had a job by changing things, usually.
Thank you for this interesting review. I have the old one. If the new one’s wear is less effective, do you have any other brand similar product to recommend me. Best !
I just bought Le Mini Macaron’s Je Glow. I found it on Ulta for $11.00 same volume .33 as Dior’s. They only carry it online, though. It also has the same exact fluorescent ingredient which gives the brightening effect in natural light. Almost three days of wear and no chips.
I just bought it so I will try it and I will review it soon :)
@@TheSalonLife I’m so excited!
Yes please, do another test and switch hands. Also interesting: Does a layer of Abricot Base Coat underneath increase durability?
It would unless they changed that one too!
Also you should need additional product for 31€ product to last like it used to
@@TheSalonLifeThey changed the whole range of nail care and polishes. The base has new formula, unfortunately.
Thank you for your informative video. What was the outcome when you put the new formula on your left hand. Curious to see what those results were. Really enjoying your channel 💕
Sadly the new formula isn't good.
Any UK ladies, Escentual have both the old and new formulas on their site so you can grab a few to stock up!
Thank you!
I’d be interested if anyone in UK would help me in US obtain a supply.
Would this nail glow be a good product for me to use. I have spent the last several months using nothing but oils and jojoba on my nails trying to heal my nails. I want something to wear on them but I don’t want damage
Thank you so much for such in-depth video on the comparison. Can I just mentioned the price difference between the two: old version £18, new £27!!! For the £9 difference with 1/10 drop of extra sweet almond oil and a wee tad of extra paeonia officiants flowers extract? I also love the Nails Inc version, had it for months and used it loads but recently even though I kept the bottle in a dark cupboard but the colour of the polish has faded from bright pink to a muted pink now.
Thanks for sharing!
You said too much moisture for nails is bad. What are the signs of over-moisturized nails? Too flexible?
Too much water (like sitting in a bath for an hour) makes the nails very flexible. It’s takes a while for the water to evaporate from the nail plate. Nails when they are wet they are more prone to damage so be gentle with them
Ps. Nail polish, gel, acrylic slow down the water evaporation from the nail plate. The water builds up and can cause lifting of the polish, gel etc.
I absolutely adore you and your videos. I learn so much from you as a nail tech! 😊
I have heard from another nail educator who represents a soft gel brand saying that their soft gel is better than other gel brands because the water evaporation is better with their soft base gel or color gel. But when I heard of that I quite couldn’t understand why that matters. Because I know all soft gel is porous and should it do the same job? Then why that brand is better than other brand? It’s so confusing. I wonder if you have any insights for this matter. Thank you!!
Great education
Thank you 🙏
I really like the original Dior Nail Glow and would be interested to see you try them again, switching hands.
Will do!
Thanks for this thorough video! One thing I’m not sure I agree is that polish must be porous since acetone removes it. I think it just starts dissolving it layer by layer.
Yes it dissolves it because it’s porous. Otherwise how would it able to do it?
Hard gels are not very porous so they can’t be dissolved. The less porous, the less easy is for something to dissolve. Nail polish is absolutely porous
Can you compare with the manucurist nail glow? Love your videos❤
I have it and it does not glow at all. It does not have any optical brightener.
@@TheSalonLife thank you ❤️
Does this require a base coat or not? I have a new bottle to use for the first time and I want to use it right
Hi, it doesn't need a base.
@@TheSalonLife thank you!
I've heard that the new version chips off. :/ I'm so bummed.
Darn, so I’m not the only one with this experience? So sad!!!
I only purchased few months back so I don't know which I have-old or new-I love it as my favorite and will go through several bottles in next year. The packaging has silver cap vs white if that is the identifying point. The Brush is great!
I'm USA & purchased from Dillards 200 miles from my home-but closest of any carrier of product to me
If you have the silver cap then you have the original formula.
I would love to see the test repeated on opposite hands. Thank you for your thoroughness.
I wonder how do this nail polish 💅 compares with the manicurists active glow
It doesn't. It's a tinted treatment. It does not brighten the the whites of the nail not does it glow the way Dior's original Nail Glow does. :/
What about base and top coat?
What do you mean? Are you interested if they changed formulas?
@@TheSalonLife Just wondering if that would help with the polish wearing longer - like with other polishes.
Do you have any video (or could you make one) elaborating on the polished vs naked nails and water absorption? I've always read/been told that polished nails will be safer against breakage etc -- is that not true? :O
Hello, I have to make this video :)
Polish actually raises moisture level in the nail. It slows down the water evaporation.
@@TheSalonLife I'd love a video on this!!
Can you just apply it everyday so it stays fresh and not fade?
I just put a fresh coat on usually day 3 or 4 to freshen the look. I also use Dior gel like top coat. I love Dior Glow. I am heartbroken that the formula has changed 💔
I guess but many people expect a 31€ polish not to have to be reapplied daily.
Overall I’m not a fan of reapplying polish for several reasons. I have to make a video about it 🤔
Sadly, I was able to purchase the old formula, but it seems this product isn't for me. I had such high hopes that this would be an alternative to when I want to give my nails a break from CND Shellac. I applied two coats and after two days, most of the nails were chipped. So, I'll be using it on my toe nails (expensive toe nail polish), sigh...
Hi Karen, it's worth knowing that polish lasts better on normal and healthy nails. Nothing stays well on damaged nails which can be the case after gel polish removal :)
looks like perfect formula gel coat I get from QVC
I have that one too and it's quite brighter, more blue. Way more blue. Also I find that Perfect Formula yellows quite a bit after 2-3 days. When you remove it with acetone you will see a yellow residue on the cotton.
I love their formula, how it applies and how quickly it dries.
Packaging is bad though.
Hi Anna,
Could you please tell us what you recommend now that the original Nail Glow is not available? Xx
Please check out this video :)) th-cam.com/video/gMe3m3y07go/w-d-xo.html
Would you consider doing normal nail polish swatches sometimes again?
Hello, yes but we don’t have any new polishes to show and other than Dazzle Dry which I use in the salon we don’t receive any free (PR) polishes from companies.
What polishes are you interested in?
@@TheSalonLife Oh. Well if you aren't getting PR, I guess you won't be swatching collections anymore. I used to love your one color comparisons like Essie reds and things like that.
Thanks for asking.
I’m going to give it a try but a bit sad that I hear quality might not be as good. Thanks so much for sharing.
Here I reviewed more nail brighteners
th-cam.com/video/gMe3m3y07go/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/jvl2ASMkCVY/w-d-xo.html
Perfect Formula Ruby from QVC is better colour wise 😊
As much as I love the look of the Dior, I would never use it because it's not cruelty free.
That being said, sadly it seems as though they've done what so many are doing these days, keeping the price the same, or even increasing the price, but producing an inferior product. I can't help but wonder if they are planning on introducing a top coat that is meant to be used with this new formula so that they can sell more products & make more money........?
I've read lots of reviews also for the original one & the packaging was always something they raved about. I think the new version with a white plastic lid looks cheaper in comparison.
I would definitely be interested in seeing a reverse wear video if you could do one.
I have no plans to buy the product & am happy using the Nails inc version until something better, that is also vegan & cruelty free, comes along.
Thank you Anna! 🤗😘🥰
Hello AACE73. I wonder what cruelty free label really means.
I think its a marketing term for the most part as the term is not very regulated.
Here is the info from FDA
www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-claims/cruelty-freenot-tested-animals
In EU cosmetics are not tested on animals (it's been like this for a while) and as you can see the formula is vegan. There are no animal derived ingredients.

more info from FDA suggesting that it might be different for USA.

@@TheSalonLife Hey Anna, thank you for this!! I'll have a good look ☺️🤗😘🥰
They do both have acrylates copolymer
Hello, yes they do but acrylates copolymer is ok. Polymers are ok. Acrylate monomers are a problem.

❤❤❤
thank you Tammy!
im so sad if i knew they were gonna change or discontinue it i wouldve stocked up 🥴
Same!!! Some stores might still have it. We have to look for it
Same 😩😩😩
I’m so disappointed with the new formula. I can literally scratch it right off my nails, it cracks and flakes. The old one would stay on for weeks, although it would lose it’s pink hue, but at least it stayed on. The new one also feels like sandpaper on the surface, for the first couple of hours. Such tragedy😢
They just had to mess with a good thing. Whyyyyyy????
You are absolutely right, just got a new formula and I am very disappointed with it. contact Dior and complaint about it if you can. they must bring an old one back.
Have you ever considered going to school to become a chemist? It would give great backbone to your business and you’d get to stop saying “I don’t know, I’m not a chemist”…..but I think you do know ❤
Hm. I really have :) but there is a saying in Polish “you don’t have to buy a brewery to have (drink) a good beer”. I don’t know where I would find a time to be honest. I barely have the time to deal with salon and TH-cam
When you think about it, it would be better to rather pay a good cosmetic chemist to consult with them. I have to find one though :))
The new formula completely peeled off my nails in one day. Its awful! I called dior and they are reformulating ALL their products to clean ingredients.
I didn't see anything about changing to "clean" ingredients. As you can see the ingredients are pretty much the same with an addition of some marketing ingredients that don't really do anything other than sounding good :)
It's like putting 1/100 of a blueberry in a cupcake claiming that now it's a health food.
@TheSalonLife I had to call regarding the poor performance of the new formula and I asked why the reformulated as well as why they only have 4 foundations now. They said they were switching to clean formulas. They said in nail glow there was one particular ingredient banned in most countries. This new formula is unacceptable. It looks great but lasts ONE day.
OK, thank you for letting me know! I can't stand the whole "clean" marketing because it means absolutely nothing and I'm surprised that they are saying this.
I wonder which was the ingredient "banned" in most countries that they removed. The only thing it does not have is the sunscreen BENZOPHENONE-3 (sunscreen, prevents color fading and discolouration) which is hardly "banned" anywhere and
CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE which is a film forming, very common and not banned anywhere.
So I would LOVE to know which ingredient they mean.... can you call back and ask?
@TheSalonLife yes I will. My initial call was answered to dior beauty. and the guy I spoke to answered calls from home. I asked if he was in store because I wanted to know why so many of their products pulled off shelves so he may have said more than he was supposed to. I'm in Orlando fl and none of the counters have stock. Even dior site has very few varieties of foundations, mascara, etc. I'll let you know what they say. Thanks for your great videos
Thank you so so much!! I messaged them through WhatsApp and we will see if I get an answer. I will share the info!!
PS. Sometimes people say things that they don't know much about and they say generic stuff that sounds good.
🙂🙂

@@TheSalonLifeso weird two of my comments just disappeared. I’m sorry and glad you didn’t remove it.
@@TheSalonLifeI saw you post this elsewhere. Very interesting and disappointing, but I still try to seek out cruelty free as much as possible in the event it could be so.
But it seems that animal testing was banned in EU like 10 years ago anyway. That's what I mean.
To make it a fair test you should redo it but switch hands. I believe you are right handed which will have contributed to the wear and tear to only the tips of your nails.
They sound pretty much the same
Everyone reviewing this polish is delusional… it doesn’t brighten the nail. It looks no different than applying a clear polish.
