Hello ladies,
I am wearing the second polish of the duo released by Diamond Cosmetics as a January promotion. Expecting Starry Night to be an elegant shimmer, I was surprised at the edgy quality of this polish. It's a black creme with multihued glitter. Under bright light, pink and green sparkle were clearly visible. There are also sparse flakies that remind me of pewter. They lack the brightness of a true silver, instead creating an industrial effect. When the light catches them perfectly, an oil slick rainbow forms.
When I put the idea of a manicure together, I was thinking about the 1980's mixing of pink and black. I wanted to evoke the thought of pearls and leather together. I added pink cameos and pearls combined with the lily flower from Konad plate M6. Psyche Pink was chosen for stamping.
Starry Night was opaque in two coats and easy to apply. I wish the formula had more pink and green shimmer in a sheerer base. That would change the aesthetics of the polish. If you are looking for a black with subtle shimmer that has more happening than a basic creme, Starry Night would do the job. I could even see men wearing this polish, especially with a matte topcoat.
I've been informed that the Spring Collection will be ready to ship February 8th. I should be able to begin reviews shortly thereafter. Starry Night was sent to me for review. This shade is currently available for purchase at diamondcosmetics.com.
Happy painting, ladies!
