Darling Diva ~ A Christmas Story



Darling Diva ~ A Christmas Story
Red and green microglitter

Let me tell you right away: My nails do not like winter! They keep breaking, and I wouldn’t really mind if it wasn’t for the fact that they break so low that it actually hurts when they break! So I’ve been trying to “grow the breaks out” so to speak, and today was the day when I cut and filed them all down for a fresh start. Fortunately I like my nails short, but this is the shortest I’ve had them for a very very long time.

I decided to celebrate the nubbins with a microglitter. It’s no secret that my nails love glitter! A Christmas Story is a lovely microglitter from the Ho Ho Holiday collection from Christmas 2015.

The formula is good and easy to work with. On nubbins it’s opaque after two coats, but I added a third coat for the camera. The drying time is good, no worries there.

Here’s three coats and a layer of topcoat for you:


I actually think my nails are cute when they’re this short! :D


This last picture is taken with flash to show off the bling.


I wore it like this and I can tell you that my nails enjoyed it immensely!

  1. This is the first Darling Diva Polish I ever bought and I did buy another bottle when she decided to re-release it this winter. I love it!

  3. I hate those deep breaks... What really makes a change for my nails is Nail Tek Foundation, it comes in different type. I use the Nail Tek Foundation III (for dry and brittle nails), and it works perfectly for me. Of course you need to use it 1-2 months before the the full effect is there!
    I love this polish :)

    1. I think you hate the deep breaks more than I do, because you like your nails longer. I'm okay with it, I just don't like it when they break so far down that it actually hurts :/
      Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind :)

  4. I hate such breaks, and my nails actually tend to break all year long, so yeah... unfortunate :D
    And the polish is so, so pretty, perfect Christmas effect <3

    1. My nails break more often in the winter, even though I try to keep them moisturized.
      Thank you :) <3
