This polish is a vintage gem! It is an old school Sally Hansen Nail Prism called Blush Diamond. They released a few batches of Blush Diamond and this is the darker version. I miss when true holos used to be readily available, but judging by the Cosmoprof photos from other bloggers, it looks like they may return! I still have an affinity for collecting the older bottles though.
Blush Diamond is a pretty rose pink. The formula was kind of thin and I am wearing three coats but it built up nicely. These pictures were taken after two days of wear so there's the slightest bit of tipwear.
This picture is a bit blurry, but you can see the prism effect!
I managed to get one sunlight picture, and this one doesn't even show the full holographic effect of this polish. It was pretty intense- almost to the point where it was dangerous to drive without wrecking from looking at my nails!
I have some hauls from the past few days too!
I took advantage of the 99cents Sinful Colors sale at Walgreen's. I want to preface this by saying that I don't agree with what Sinful Colors has done (pretty much stole other bloggers' images for their display, photoshopping out their watermarks without giving credit). I really hope that SC/Revlon owns up to what happened. Not to mention it is bad advertising for them since the stolen photos don't even showcase their products/techniques that they advertise.I saw this as an opportunity to get a lot of polish for an inexpensive price, and I already had a list of SC's that I wanted. Top Row: Bikini, Cinderella, Slate, Unicorn, and Fig. Bottom Row: Neptune, San Francisco, Leap Flog, Mint Apple, and Let Me Go
Some other purchases from blog sales/online consist of Sally Hansen- Hidden Treasure, Deborah Lippmann- Let's Go Crazy (Nordstrom Exclusive!), Metametics- Blood and Snow (WINTER IS COMING!), and Loreal- Gorgeous Gold.
Stunning holo! I actually have this one and should wear it soon. Looks like you got a lot of great nail polish as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I definitely treated myself with polish a lot this month.
DeleteShocked that you even could find Cinderella today to buy on the 99 cent sale. I thought that was long gone as was Neptune. You picked up great colors for 99 cents each. I also don't like the whole mess with the Sinful brochure and display. Hope as a blogging commenter we all will have some weight in helping keep this issue alive - it just needed to be given credit for the photos/hands - but how goofy is it that in both cases it was not even Sinful product shown? Wild. I loved the SH Prism - show more swatches if you have them. I never got all the ones I wanted to and am kicking myself now. I read also like you did that ChG is coming out with another holo collection. But what I did not understand in the blogging was it sounded like holo had to be pulled off the US market? I never thought that was an issue. I just thought it was too expensive and that the first 2 ChG collections did not wear well AT ALL and then there was/is such a problem with putting a top coat on them to protect and make them shine more. It's as if those 2 collections were not perfected and with the flat sales of Tron collection - it went quite from the bigger companies until all these indies started to pop up from other countries and gaining huge popularity in the US.
ReplyDeleteThat was actually the first time I looked in a Walgreen's for Cinderella. The store actually had a few of them! I almost missed it, but I found it on the bottom row. I didn't even know that Neptune was hard to find. I'm glad I picked it up!
DeleteI have a few more older SH Prisms that I got from blog sales. I'll be swatching them eventually. I have so many untrieds at the moment! I'm excited for the upcoming holo collections. From the pictures, they look amazing. Hopefully they wear well. I think the pigments for them are expensive and hard to come by so I heard that the price for these new holos will be more than typical ChG typical polishes.
