Dior Czarina Gold Vernis and China Glaze Wagon Trail Comparison

When I first reviewed Dior Czarina Gold, I said it was a blackened gold, and made a mental note to do a comparison to China Glaze Wagon Trail, since that is the only other blackened gold I have.  The two polishes are similar, but not dupes.  Czarina Gold is in more of a smokey base and has much more pronounced golden sparkles that give the polish an overall burnished bronze color.  Wagon Trail, on the other hand, has a black base with golden shimmers, and those shimmers give the polish an overall deep olive-y tone.

Both polishes are beautiful and apply very well.  If budgeting is your concern, China Glaze Wagon Trail certainly checks in as the most budget-friendly at roughly $6 (cheaper online).  Dior Czarina Gold is truly a luxurious treat at a hefty $21.  You can't go wrong with either color.
