Diamond Cosmetics: Chainmail Charm

I adore holos! My last swatch of Chainmail Charm didn't do the polish justice, so this time, I think I was really able to capture the color nicely. CC is a charcoal gray holographic color from Diamond Cosmetics. It's more of a scattered holo than linear, but still beautiful. Re-wearing this color really makes me want to grab Zeus from the Hits No Olimpo collection. Check out some picks:

Diamond Cosmetics: Seafoam Spray

Seafoam Spray is another great springy color. It's a kind of light frosty mint green color. You can see some brush strokes, but not too badly. I saw this swatch on Scrangie's site, she's my nail crush. I see her swatch a color and I automatically want it. LOL. Who's your nail crush?

Diamond Cosmetics: Chainmail Charm

This is Chainmail Charm from Diamond Cosmetics. It's a gunmetal / charcoal gray holo, love it! I got mine quite a while back, but I've heard that some of the recent purchases of this color have been holo duds.

Diamond Cosmetics Decadence

Decadence is a light chocolate brown color with a foil finish from Diamond Cosmetics....perfect for fall, my favorite time of year. It applied so easily, I hardly had any cleanup...which is a rarity for me ☺


Here's a closeup, you can really see the silver foil here.

Halloween Nails

So from now until Christmas is my favorite time of year. I adore fall and the Holidays coming up (especially Halloween), so I've decided to do a series of Halloween inspired mani's from now until October 31st. Here is my first.

The base color is Diamond Cosmetics in Mystical Knights. It's a beautiful dark blue color with a hint of a frost.


And I topped it with a recent Dollar Store find, Cover Girl Crackle polish in Jack O Lantern. I had previously swatched this on a popsicle stick, but this is the 1st time on the nail. What a freaking cool effect this is, it's so Halloween! I used two coats over the Mystical Knights. I love how the blue base kind of glows through the orange.



Please excuse the raindrop on my ring finger in this shot....

Layering: win or epic fail?

Yesterday, I badly dented my Hue are You mani before it was dry...I hate it when that happens! So, to fix it without redoing the entire mani, I added a layer of Cover City Lights which is a silver holo glitter topcoat. I thought that made the color to too cool and I what I loved so much about the HAU is the warm tones. So on top of City Lights, I added a layer of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.

Here is the result....drum roll.....

Direct sunlight:


So far so good. Can't see any sign of the flakies. Here it is in shade:



The orange tones of HT really come through and warm it up. Here is an angle view:




My first thought was EPIC FAIL! Blach! and no time before work to fix it....but as the day wore on, I don't hate it. I think kinda like it...there's all sorts of stuff going on whenever I look down at them. What do you think???

Diamond Cosmetics Hue Are You?

So, I know it's early for this and all, but I'm so looking forward to fall!! It's close. Fall, for me, starts in September, so it's not too early for fall inspired colors, right?

Today's NOTD is Diamond Cosmetics in Hue Are You? I originally saw this on Scrangie's website (link at left) and I just HAD to have it!! So pretty.The bottle color is a deep brownish red with gold shimmer:


and here it is on the nail. I ♥ this color!



You can really see the gold shimmer when the last bit of sun hits the bottle in the pick above. It is also visible on the nail. Check out this closeup, it really shows off the gold shimmer:
