So, Diamond Cosmetics nail polishes have had rave reviews across the pond, and I thought it was high time I picked up a couple for myself!
The first one I’ve tried is Decadence. The picture below was taken with sunlight streaming through the window, so looks a bit warmer here than real life.
A neutral toned brown shimmer that goes nicely with a cool skintone. The shimmer is strong as you can see and I love it. I suppose it’s more of a cool bronze than a plain ol’ brown because of the sparkles. Note, this isn’t glitter – just shimmer.
I had no issues with application and applied 3 coats to achieve opacity (I apply fairly thin coats, so it may only take 2 coats for you). The finish is smooth and glossy. After 3 days (the photo was taken on the 1st full day) I have no chips, but tip wear is quite extensive on a couple of fingers. We’re talking 2mm easy.
Still, the polishes are priced at £3 each, so I was still pleasently surprised by the quality of the formula and finish.
Have you checked out Diamond Cosmetics polishes yet?
Yay! Which other colors did you get? This one looks great. =)
I love it. It looks like a cheaper version of a Rococo one I was eyeing in Space NK yesterday. Diamond polishes are good for the price but I do find the formula can be a little hit and miss.
Oooh, that is pretty. Clicks on link.
I’m thinking I might have to try Cherry tobacco!
Huh — is it just me, or is brown a colour that you don’t often see in polish?
Either way, this is just gorgeous ^^
Oh man this is SO pretty. I dont even like bronze or brown nail polish and I like this! Weirdly enough I adore bronze and brown eyeshadow but loathe nail polish in the same colours.
Not bad for 3 quid, eh!? I like this, i’d wear it on my toes but it wouldn’t suit my hands.
Ohh that’s so pretty!
Oh this polish is so pretty! So much so that I have placed an order for four polishes and a glass file 😉
I just love brown nail polish and it’s so hard to find!
