Darling Diva Polish: Diamonds & Opals, Part 1

I have the first part of a gorgeous collection to share with you today! Darling Diva Polish sent me polishes from her newly released collection of colors inspired by two of my favorite precious gems, Diamonds and Opals. I absolutely love this concept and her execution is perfect! Today I have the Opals set, a really unique collection of jellies filled with flakies (yes, flakies!), iridescent glitter, and holographic micro-glitter.

Milani - Totally Color Inaccurate

I ordered this polish a few weeks ago when Milani was having a free shipping promotion. I've seen many pictures of it, all of which looked amazing and full of purple, shimmery, awesomeness. Milani Totally Cool has a violet/cobalt base with LOTS of purple/fuchsia/gold micro-glitter. My camera refused to pick up the colors properly though, especially the base. It's really not quite that cobalt-looking, rather more violet. And in the right light, that glitter really sparkles!


Milani - Totally Cool

It was very sheer for me, also-- this was about five coats, yes, five. I'd like to try it again but layered over another violet or navy.



Now if only I could get my hands on Dot Com...
