Diamond Cosmetics Winter Collection, Part One

Hello lovelies! I've been buried in a pile of papers, articles to edit, and school work for the last week and a half, but I think I've finally conquered it haha. I did get a bunch of swatching done in the meantime, including the beautiful Winter Collection from Diamond Cosmetics. I'm breaking it up into two parts, today and tomorrow, so it won't be too picture heavy for you. So today I'm going to be showing you Moonsand and It's Electrifying, check out the pictures below!

I love Moonsand! Everything from the name to the color to the application I like. I've been jonesin' for a charcoal-y silver polish for the last few weeks and I think this fits the bill! It only took two coats to get full coverage and wasn't bad to remove either. Diamond Cosmetics describes it as, "This charcoal foil shines like the full moon; eye catching and magnificent." I think this is going to be the base for my New Year's Eve mani, maybe with some glitter on top.

shade (yay for normal looking skin!)

"It's Electrifying... do do doo, better shape up dun dun dun cause I need a man, do do do, and my heart is set on youuuu" hahah, doesn't this name make you immediately think of Grease? Maybe it's just how my brain works. This color is fantastic. The formula gave me fits a little bit though, this picture is four coats. The VNL (visible nail line) is a little visible in pictures, but not in real life. This was a little bit patchy when I was applying it, but I was rushing a little bit so that could be partially my fault. It's Electrifying is a squishy color for sure, I know a lot of people will love it even with less coats, but I'm not into VNL so four was what I needed. Diamond Cosmetics describes it, "Give him chills with this powerful and sassy blue." Perfect description right?

What do you think of the first two colors from the Winter Collection? I hope your holiday shopping is almost finished! :)

Let's Get Drunk On...Sparkling Sherry

Well helllooooo Sparkling Sherry. I'm pretty excited to show you this Diamond Cosmetics polish. I fell in love with it from a post that Scrange did (the same way many lemmings are born haha) and got it in my first Diamond Cosmetics order. I love looking at it in the bottle but when I first swatched it, I hated it on me. Thankfully I came to my senses! It's a foily red that leans a little pink. It looks a little bit different in each of the three lights I'm going to show you, but all three ways are prettttyyyy. Wanna see?

Really nice right? 2 coats! The first picture makes it look a little brush stroke-y which is really isn't in person. Top coat makes it look smooth. These pictures kind of say it all I think. I am not really into reds at all, there are maybe 5 I truly like and this is definitely one of them. It's one of the few I'd actually wear on my fingers (most of my reds are relegated to toes haha). High praise coming from me :) Tomorrow I'm going to show you one of my absolute favorite polishes! And there's a giveaway coming later this week!
