NOTD: Darling Diva Polish Channeling Coco
Darling Diva Polish Channeling Coco
Darling Diva Polish is one of the few indie sellers I have purchased from, and I love all three that I bought. The above swatch is three coats of Channeling Coco by
itself, and I LOVE it.
Channeling Coco is a sheer pink base with small black hex glitters and larger darker pink hex glitters. The sheerness of the base gives the finish a pretty "sandwich" look. With each coat I got a bit more glitter and I
love layered look I got. I used NYC GCS as my topcoat and got an almost
perfectly smooth surface.
I'm sad to say that it looks like their Etsy shop is closed right
now. However, Channeling Coco is available at www.llarowe.com, although I have not purchased from there myself.
Nothing to disclose- I purchased Channeling Coco myself.

NOTD: Sally Hansen Coral Reef
NOTD: Sally Hansen Coral Reef
Coral Reef is another color I have seen lots of Youtubers talking about. I purchased this one the same day that I purchased Pacific Blue.
I wanted to love this, but it was a bit chalky. At two coats there were some spots that still seemed to need more color. It did seem to dry better than Pacific Blue did when I used NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat, but I just didn't love it like I wanted to. So I'm a bit disappointed.

2 coats
Finally there weather is cooperating and it's actually Spring-like here instead of 32 and I am loving this gorgeous pink. Just like Renegade, this applied so easily- I got perfect coverage in 2 coats and it behaved quite nicely with NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat.
Dermelect Cosmeceuticals and Celebrity Nail Tech, Elle, extended a hand to guest collaborator Karie Frost, founder of top beauty blog FearNoBeauty.com, to create ME’s Summer 2013 Lacquer Collection. Aptly named Fearless Beauty, the eye-popping four color lacquer collection contains Dermelect’s signature anti-aging, peptide-infused formulation, designed for women who desire to grow out long, strong, natural nails without compromising fashionable fingertips.
"I see hundreds of new nail products cross my desk each year, and Dermelect really caught my eye," says Frost, who not only founded beauty blog FearNoBeauty.com, but has also worked for 12+ years on top nail industry magazine Nailpro and new consumer nail magazine Nail It!. "The science behind the nail treatments, and now the new ME lacquer colors, truly deliver stronger, longer nails—the perfect canvas for brilliant manicures. I wanted to bring brave new colors to the brand's ME lacquers—colors that will not only inspire women to take fun, fearless shade risks with their nails, but also feel confident while doing so."
Created for beauty junkies who love to push boundaries, the Fearless Beauty collection contains four creamy hues injected with high-voltage bright pigments, guaranteed to turn heads.
* RENEGADE-a rebellious jade crème
* BUZZ-WORTHY-an electric lemon crème
* FEARLESS-a bold cobalt blue crème
* MOXIE-a plucky pink crème
Dermelect’s ME Fearless Beauty collection, available summer 2013, retails for $14.00 and can be purchased online at www.dermelect.com and at high-end apothecaries, beauty boutiques, salons, spas, medi-spas and doctors offices.
Dermelect is also having an online contest in May:

NOTD: Dermelect Renegade topped with Covergirl Disco Dazzle
Dermelect Renegade (2 coats)
topped with Covergirl Disco Dazzle (2 coats)
This glitter topcoat is at least 5 years old, and you can probably see that I had a hard time getting the hex glitters out. They had all sunk to the bottom...... After I did this mani, I turned the bottle upside down and left it for a few days and now it's mixed together better. Still, I liked it and it gave my days-old mani a new look, which is fun and a great trick when you are short on time.
Disclosure: The Dermelect shade was provided for review purposes.
