Darling Diva Polish Diamond Holo Collection - Swatches and Review

*These products are Cruelty Free 


Darling Diva Polish
Diamond Holo Collection

Top L to R: Black Diamond, Blue Diamond, Diamond
Bottom L to R: Green Diamond, Pink Diamond, Rose Diamond and Chocolate Diamond

Darling Diva has just released two new collections: the Diamond Holo Collection and the Opal Collection. Tonight I have the Diamond Holo Collection for you. These are all highly pigmented tightly scattered holographic polishes. These could all be one-coaters if you're careful I think (I used two coats for all of my swatches though) and they're also good for stamping! I tested them briefly and even though I still suck at stamping, these will be good.

Continued after the jump...




There are seven in this collection and as I said they could be one-coaters if you're careful, but I've used two coats and no top coat for all of my swatches. The formula is good on these and I don't have any issues to report other than they don't like to be over-manipulated. You can see in my photos I over-manipulated Pink Diamond and Green Diamond. Pink Diamond is a stainer, so you might want to use a base (or double up even). I didn't notice staining on any of the others. Photos are in artificial light unless otherwise noted.

So let's get started - we'll go alphabetically...

What do you think? Favorites? My favorite is Rose Diamond. The color saturation and formula are just perfect and the tightly scattered holo is amazing.

Stay tuned to see the Opal Collection on Pointless Cafe soon!
