Diamond Cosmetics Spring 2010 Collection Swatches & Review

G’day mates!

I wish I could say it’s a bright sunny day here in the CA, but nooo we have some of those “April showers” going on, boooo! Maybe today’s post will brighten up the day though!

Diamond Cosmetics has a new spring collection out and it’s pretty nice, if I do say so myself.

There are six colors in the collection that are mainly variations of blues/pinks and oranges.

The formula was pretty great on all, with a couple small exceptions noted below.

Take a peek below!

Serendipity

Serendipity, along with it being my favorite word, it’s a beautiful pale baby blue with silver shimmer. I knew I would like this one the second I saw the bottle and I really do. It’s not like other baby blues I already own, and it’s nice and opaque in just two coats.

Tranquility

Tranquility is a light blue robin’s egg creme. This is not a mint green and not a Tiffany blue color, which I am glad about because we have plenty of those. In fact they already did a fabulous Tiffany blue called Oh, Tiff! which is more green than this. This polish was a little thick and harder to work with than the others. I used two coats for full coverage, though I think if you were careful you could get away with one.

Orange Blush

Orange Blush is a pale pinkish/orange sheer. This isn’t my favorite color on me and I’m not loving the sheer application, personally. This was three coats and you can still see VNL.

Razzmatazz

Razzmatazz is a medium pink with a heavy blue/purple flash. Totally shimmery and gorgeous, I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did! It’s just so pretty! With this one I made the mistake of not letting it dry long enough in-between coats so I got that clumping issue going on at the tips. I suggest waiting 3-4 minutes in-between coats so this doesn’t happen to you. This was two coats.

Gypsy Pink

Gypsy Pink is a reddish/pink with silver shimmer. This is another one I totally didn’t expect to like, but wound up loving it on me. It’s the cherry red color that I am most drawn to, and it’s super shimmery in real life. This was two coats.

Hot Lips

Hot Lips is a bright pink creme (not neon). It’s ok, but I’m not falling over myself about this one. I have quite a few other colors like this. It does go on a bit sheer, I have two coats on here and you can still see the VNL.

Overall I really liked most of this collection and it feels very spring-like to me.

You might not know this but Diamond Cosmetics polishes are very inexpensive; these come in at only $2.25 per bottle! Considering how awesome the formula is, it’s a really great deal. You can find these now at their website here.

How are we feeling about this collection folks?
