Darling Diva ~ Pink Diamond
& Bella Donna
Baby pink holo & lilac holo
I felt like wearing two of my latest Darling Divas today.
I started out with Pink Diamond. It’s not a colour I’d usually look
twice at, but I love the other polishes from the Diamond collection, and I
thought that it would be at least a great base colour for some nail art.
The formula is good, and ladies, it’s a one coater!! Drying time is fast
too, almost so fast that I couldn’t keep up, haha!
Here’s what it looks like under flashlight. One coat and no topcoat:
It’s way too pale to be my colour, but seriously: I dig this!
Then I got the nailvinyls I bought recently, taped my nails and painted
one coat of Bella Donna from the White Witch collection. I wish I had chosen
another purple or another polish from the Diamond collection, because Bella
Donna is not a one coater. Anyway, I removed the nailvinyls after having
applied the polish, and then I applied a layer of topcoat. Here’s the final
mani:
And I caught a glimpse of the evening sun and managed to get a decent
shot of my mani:
These two polishes is a great couple, but if I ever decide to pair them
up again, I’ll be using Bella Donna as my base colour because she’s a two
coater. Nothing wrong with that, now I just know :)
NB. You probably won't believe this, but Pink Diamond is a stainer! I removed this after a day, and my nails were all dark pink underneath. Amazing!!
Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Average
Drying time: Average
Finish: Holo goodness.
Bella Donna is way more linear than Pink Diamond
Overall impression: Darling
Diva definitely have a thing with purples. She can really rock them.
Buy again: No
Bad news about the staining. This nail polish doesn't look as if it was a stainer but it is :O The colour is OK.
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised that it stained, but I don't really mind so much. I've got polish on all the time anyway :)
DeleteLOL, when I saw that this is a very atypical color for you - but it does look good on you, just FYI!
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with the addition of Bella Donna!
Wow, did Pink Diamond really stain - I'm amazed, sometimes the most unexpected ones do...
To be honest I bought this because I think it might be good for stamping :) I just thought I'd try it first :D
DeleteNot many polishes stain my nails, so this one was a true surprise :)
I love both colors and they go really well :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the staining though.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear it. I don't mind the staining so much :)
DeleteWow! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYay, thank you!! :)
DeleteA pretty combo! Surprise on the staining, you just don't think of light pink as staining...
ReplyDeleteI never would have believed it if I had read it somewhere, but there it was: Pink on my nails :D
DeleteWhat a great colour and combo - looks brilliant in the sun! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd never have guessed, by looking at it, that it would stain! :-O
Thank you so much, I was so pleased with this :) <3
