Hello ladies,
The forest green shade on my nails is one of the new colors from the upcoming Diamond Cosmetics Fall Collection. Under the Willow Tree is a dark green polish with a creme formula. It is not a twin to Nars Zulu, but it is a lovely polish in it's own right. This is one of my top picks from the collection.
I created a manicure to echo the fall of golden flowers that make the city pavement glow with a yellow-green hue. I believe these flowers are from locust trees. With Konad apple green princess polish, I stamped the leaf image from Bundle Monster plate BM05. Where the stem meets the leaves, I positioned golden flower rhinestones.
Do you ever wonder what I do when I want to take polish photos and the community garden is closed? Come with me as I stroll about downtown Philadelphia with my camera.
I paused in front of a flower pot a few blocks from my apartment.
Even though the front gate was locked, I was able to walk along the garden perimeter and take pictures outside the main fence. The lilies are still fresh with rain.
On the way to the post office, I was intrigued by purple blooms and ferns that cascaded over a slate wall.

I walked through the Medicinal Plant Garden at the Mutter Museum and confounded a few visitors.
I really loved the application of Under the Willow Tree. The consistency was slightly thinner than other creme polishes I have tried from their line. The color was perfectly opaque in two coats. It went on easily with very little cleanup.
My owl ring makes another appearance.

If you are a green lover or appreciate an interesting vampy shade, Under the Willow Tree is worth adding to your wish list. It's a gorgeous on trend green for fall. The Diamond Cosmetics Fall Collection does not yet have a release date. When more information is available, I will certainly share the details.
Under the Willow Tree was sent to me for review by Diamond Cosmetics. This shade is part of the Ladies' Choice of Diamonds Anniversary Giveaway. Stop by the contest post for a chance to win a total of 12 polishes and one nail treatment product. Best of luck!
Happy painting, ladies!
