I think I need to adjust my colour setting on my computer as I swore these two were similar. They are not at all. Illamasqua is a bold and bright green and Waterlily is a muted soft jade with a slight blue shimmer. I am really glad I bought both of these polishes as they are perfect for spring.
Illamasqua on the first two fingers and Dior on the last two.
Here's the lowdown on these two polishes:
Application: Smooth, consistent, and easy
Coverage: Very opaque, one coat does the job
Scent: Dior has a slight rose scent. I didn't get why Dior felt it necessary to try to scent their polishes as who really smells their nails anyways
Packaging: Love both brands' packaging, but this time Dior placed their limited edition polish into a silver box instead of their traditional dark blue. I actually like that they did that, as it makes it stand out a bit more and makes it more "collectible"
Retail: Dior £19 and Illamasqua was £13.50
What's your favourite polish colour for Spring?

Thank you very much for these swatches and comparison. I always wondered how different they were and if it was worth it to try to have both of them. Indeed it is :)
