Spring Makeup: Dior Purchase & Dark Nails for Spring?

Not too long ago, I have purchased a few Dior bits and they are gorgeous and perfectly spring appropriate. It isn't really very spring-like in New York yet, so it really is more of a preparation, but one can only hope for warmer weather to show up soon.
Dior blush in 656 Coral Croisette
Dior Vernis in 970 Nuit 1947
 The blush is beautiful and definitely a perfect spring color. 
Good mixture of pink and orange, as all good coral blush should be. 
The nail polish is surprisingly wonderful for spring. 
It is quite dark yet it has very nice warm purple undertones that can be seen in daylight.

NARS Orgasm
It seems to me that the dior blush is most similar to the notorious Nars Orgasm, but less shimmery. But all four of these coral blushes are lovely and wearable.

Dior Nuit 1947
Chanel 563 Vertigo
Kure Bazaar Chérie
Some of my favorite dark nailpolishes. 
I wish I had swatches of all of them but for now we will admire the Nuit 1947 swatch below.

and who knew that dark nail polish can look great along with bright colors!

If you know any gorgeous dark colors still appropriate for the warmer weather, do share.
