OPI Designer Series - Diamond

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? The weather here in the Netherlands has been really good, maybe a little too good, because the temperature is around the 30 degrees Celsius every day. I'm almost burning up here! The sun is really great for wearing holographic polishes so today I'll show you another one. OPI DS Diamond is one of my favourite polishes, I wear it quite often.

Most polishes of the Designer Series are holographic or have a really great depth and sparkle in them. Diamond has a touch of holographic in it but it isn't apparent at all. It's really subtle.

See how subtle it is? Other than being holo, Diamond is a weird shade. It's not silver, it's not lilac, it's hanging in between. So I'll be describing this one as a silvery, dusty lilac. Application was good like all the DS polishes I own. They're easy to work with and they all apply really even.

In the shade this is really toned down and it isn't that sparkly anymore. It's really dusty and to me very work appropriate. I'm loving it both ways but it's sooooo gorgeous in sunlight.

    I bought this color sometime last year. I've worn it once. I still don't really know how I feel about it. I think it looks lovely in the bottle. Then, I get it on my hand and then I cringe. I really don't know. This color just is a mystery to me. But, you have to love that holo goodness. :)
