Last month, I mentioned that I saw another Diamond Collection display, with six polishes, three designs of nail strips, and three lip gloss colors—this one, that I shared in my Black Friday display post:
Looking at that photo now, I see that the colors need to be rearranged to match up with the three groupings printed on the display: True Diamond (golds, slogan is "Because I'm Brilliant"), Love Diamond (reds, Because I'm Irresistable), and Midnight Diamond (black/silver, Because I'm Precious). Display organization aside, the point is there were three shimmery polishes I didn't know about at first, which today I have swatches of—So Chic, Lifetime Love, and Drop Dead Gorgeous.
So Chic is a pinky beige with gold and silver microflakie shimmer. This blended into my pale, rosy skintone like whoa. I used three coats, no topcoat, though it's quite possible I could have stopped at two coats.
You know I had to do a low light shot:
Lifetime Love is a cherry red flecked shimmer which shows pops of pink and ornage in some lights. I used two coats of this one, no topcoat).
Low light:
Drop Dead Gorgeous is a black with silver shimmer:
Of course I had to try layering the glitters over these shimmers. Here's So Chic with one coat of Sparklicious plus topcoat:
Here's one coat of Fancy Me plus topcoat on Lifetime Love:
And finally Drop Dead Gorgeous with one coat of The Bigger the Better plus topcoat:
So Chic is a keeper for me from the shimmers; the other two are nice and well behaved but I have similar ones. As far as the combinations, I like the first two, but the black on black is not working for me—it just looks lumpy. What about you? Have you gotten any of these? Found a good base for The Bigger the Better?
So Chic is gorgeous...and even better layered!
