The Pink Diamond I received is much more ivory and much less pink than shown on the Ulta website; I guess the pigment faded? At any rate, it's a shimmer that I ended up using four coats of because it didn't self-level very well.
In direct light, the shimmer shows up better and I thought maybe I could see a hint of a pink flash, but I might have been deluding myself on that, just hoping it would be more like the photo on the website.
Crushed Diamonds is a white flakie that looks very pretty, something like snow, in the bottle.
I added one coat of Crushed Diamonds over Pink Diamond; the combinationi was subtle but pleasing, definitely better than Pink Diamond alone.
Purple Diamond is a slightly dusty purple shimmer that's perfectly opaque in two coats and perfectly shiny without topcoat.
Crushed Diamonds topping Purple Diamond is a more contrasting look than over Pink Diamond. Even with just the one coat of Crushed Diamonds, the flakies coverage is quite dense.
Two out of three isn't bad; I like Crushed Diamonds and Purple Diamond. Pink Diamond is not a winner, at least the bottle I got. The set is still available on the Ulta website for $19 as of this writing. If you get a coupon that works on this brand and like purple and flakies, it might be worth it, though these are small bottles (6 ml each).
