Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #01 Diamond Limited Edition

I have to say that this shade of Diamond is just as beautiful as the original - however, it is a different beauty! The change in formula is ever so subtle, yet I cannot help but notice the differences. Where the original Diamond cast a striking rainbow in distinct lines when light reflected off it, this one gives a delicate consistency of pin-points of coloured hologram that dance around the entire nail surface! This version of Diamond is far more subdued - but this in no way diminishes it's striking beauty!


This gorgeous shade has a thicker consistency than its counterpart - so two coats were all that were needed for an opaque finish. I used top coat on this holo and it did not dull the finish at all! Very impressed with this limited edition shade on it's own merit!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #01 Diamond

WOW! What a colour! I am totally in love with this gorgeous silver hologram polish! The holographic particles in this polish catch the light in the most amazing way - literally casting a rainbow across your fingertips! The polish refracts the light in such a way as to show distinct lines of every colour in the spectrum. Of course it is most brilliant in direct sunlight - but I found that any light source at all reveals the beauty of this shade!


I found this polish easy to apply, though the formula was a little on the thin side. The consistency was not particularly a problem though - three coats did the job beautifully! I used top coat on this holo and it did not dull the finish at all! 10 out of 10 for this one!

Spotlight On: Mode Cosmetics #10616 Starlet

Firstly, please read my post Introducing.... Mode Cosmetics Nail Enamel! if you have not done so already, as it contains general information about this brand of nail enamel.


Starlet is part of the current Mode Cosmetics collection and is a pretty metallic silver. The formula is a little thin, so three coats are necessary, but the result is great! Easy to apply and streak free! Thumbs up!

Nail art: I used Color Club's Art Club Nail Art Lacquer to create this look. First layer is NA02 Black (also referred to as 05C002) and the second layer is NA18 Crystal Glitter (also referred to as 05C018.) Allow nail enamel to dry before applying stripper polish. Starting in the bottom corner, sweep first lacquer shade up the nail, curving slightly at the top, then follow with another stroke beside the first. Add a third stroke diagonally in the opposite direction. When dry, apply the second lacquer shade in the same fashion, taking care not to completely cover the first layer. I find this style works best when the second layer is a glitter, or a lighter shade than the first. Be careful not to apply the top coat too early otherwise you will end up with unsightly streaks!


I will be listing a bottle of this shade on OZtion for any Australian ladies interested in owning one! I will also be offering it for trade on MakeupAlley in the near future for anyone, anywhere! For ladies outside of Australia who would like to buy a bottle, please email me and I will happily list one on eBay for you. I will also be selling the Art Club Nail Art Lacquer colours used for anyone interested in replicating my nails! If you have tried these links and Starlet, Black or Crystal Glitter are not available on any of these sites, please email me, and I will endeavour to source them for you.
