Dashing Diva Nail Color Fall 2010 Swatches & Review – Part I
It may seem strange to still be posting collections for fall 2010 since it seems like winter is so close, but it is still fall for 3+ more weeks!
Dashing Diva has released a new collection for fall of 10 new colors and I’ve got all but one to show you.
I don’t think Dashing Diva gets enough credit for their great colors. It seems like they are a pretty small company and people don’t hear about them often. They are harder to find also, unless you order online. But they do have a really great polish formula and some really spectacular colors.
This is part I of a two part series.
Greenport Grunge
Greenport Grunge is a metallic moss green with yellow, orange and pink shimmer. This is a glowy type of color and it’s absolutely gorgeous! Love the murkiness of the green. It was a little sheer, so I used three coats. It is very similar to OPI At Your Quebec And Call, so if you don’t have that one, you might want to snag this baby!
Kiss-n-Teal
Kiss-n-Teal is a medium blue shimmery teal. It looked like a teal/purple duochrome in the bottle, but there is no duochrome effect on the nail. I love this blue, it’s not that common and it reminds me of the sea. This was three coats.
Remember My Name
Remember My Name is an opaque black with multi-colored shimmer. This was really opaque, almost one coat would do the trick, but I used two. I totally love this, am getting back into interesting black shades lately. This was like butter. 
Ur Standing On My Dress
Ur Standing On My Dress is a bright blurple with heavy pink and blue shimmer. In some lighting it’s deep blue, in some it’s purple. It’s a gorgeous color, if not all that unique anymore. Great formula on this one also, perfect in two coats.
Penthouse Views
Penthouse Views is a metallic silver/grey with silver shimmer. I like it, but don’t love it. The formula was a little bit streaky, but not much. I just don’t think it’s anything to write home about, but is pretty. This was two coats.
Overall:
Of these five colors I think the most unique ones are Greenport Grunge and Kiss-n-Teal. I also love Remember My Name and Ur Standing On My Dress. Maybe skip that one and Penthouse Views if you have similar ones though.
Stay tuned for Part II soon!
You can find Dashing Diva on their website here and they retail for $8.00 each.
What do you guys think about these colors? Have you tried Dashing Diva yet?

Dashing Diva is one of the most underrated brands, IMO. I wish they were more widely available.

Hi Belle,
Yep, totally agree!
These colors are gorgeous. I don’t own a single bottle of Dashing Diva and may *have* to check them out. I’m especially loving Greenport Grunge and Ur Standing…
Great swatches!
Hi shuzluva,
Thanks, you should check them out they have some amazing colors
Greenport Grunge is kind of cool but the others don’t thrill me.
Hi Naomi,
Yeah I think a lot of people who already have a ton of nail polish will find dupes for a lot of these, though they are pretty.
They all look great but Ur Standing On My Dress is the best to me
Hi nail crazy,
Glad you like it!
I love the fire in these colours, the green is heavenly. I love ‘fugly’ colours and that green fits the bill ….*wanders off to Ebay US* ….
Hi Allie,
Good luck finding them on eBay!
Grunge is very good. Never even heard of this brand before. And you are so right about Remember My Name. It is interesting.
Hi Jenni,
They have some good stuff, I have reviewed them numerous times, check them out!
I really like all five of these. I’ve never heard of this brand before. I’m definitely going to get Ur Standing On My Dress (can’t resist blurples) and Remember My Name.
Greenport Grunge looks like China Glaze’s Peace On Earth in your pic. If it’s close I might have to get it, cuz Peace On Earth gave me a lot of chipping and peeling problems, but I love the color.
Wow, I love every single one of these colors. I had never even heard of “Dashing Diva” before. I’m now probably going to spend a few hours on their website! Do you know offhand if they offer free shipping at a certain amount?
Can you think of a dupe for Remember My Name
Darn, no Dashing Diva on Ebay, looks like I’m ordering from their site!
I’m a sucker for blurples and teals, so I love Kiss-and-Teal and Ur Standing On My Dress (I just cringed a little while typing “ur”). I also think Remember My Name is great, even though it’s not a color I’d usually go for.
Greenport Grunge, I must get it!! Gorgeous! Maybe Kiss-n-Teal too. Just have to figure it out, how to get them.

I agree, Greenport Grunge and Kiss-n-Teal. are the real winners!
OoOoO!! Kiss-n-Teal is gorgeous! Greenport Grunge is too.. reminds me a lot of ChG Peace on Earth.. have you compared the 2? Are they close?
Dori´s last post…China Glaze Peace on Earth
These are all gorgeous! I especially love Remember My Name. Too bad they’re not more widely available.
Zara´s last post…Ahh- Im on Fire!
I know this has nothing to do with the nail colours but something you wrote intrigued me! When do people in the US see fall (autumn for me in Ireland) as starting and ending? I see it as starting in August and ending at halloween, I think thats a Celtic thing. So to me, November, December and January are all winter – which makes it seem mad for you to be saying its still autumn/fall now! I’m like…. “nooooo it isn’t!”
Hi Aoife,
Because technically that is how the seasons work. Fall starts around the 22nd of September and goes through the 22nd of December. Winter starts end of Dec and goes until end of March, etc. It might seem like winter because of the weather but it’s not.
Wow! I never heard of these but they are so pretty!
I want them all. I love gunmetal greys especially.
Kiss-n-Teal is beautiful!

Wow, these are some really pretty shades. I’ve never heard of this brand before.
Rhea´s last post…Blues in the Night
Remember My Name caught my eye instantly-interesting blacks always do it seems. Must go on a hunt for that one.
