I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Avon Diamond Sparkle - Night Violet

I picked this up in the sale recently. It's from the Diamond Sparkle range (hence the different bottle shape), but there is also the same polish from the regular range that I think is very similar looking!




This is okay to use and okay to apply. The formula is a bit runny and awkward to work with. Drying time was okay (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is okay though. It's a nice purple colour with a subtle shimmer. BUT this colour leans towards brown too much for my liking - and as you know, I'm not a big fan of browns! Lasted really well.

Rating
Easy to use = 7/10
Application = 6/10 runny formula
Drying time = 8/10
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 2
Finish = shimmery
Removal = okay
Overall = 7/10
Purchased from = Avon rep

My Personal Rating = 6.5/10 :-)

  1. Sexy shade. It is slightly brown, but in a nice, tasty way :) Not exactly my hue, you know that, but it's OK.

  7. The colour is really nice. The problem I see, is that there are some slight gaps. So coverage doesn't seem to be too good.

    Kind regards,
    Elena

    1. Glad you like it. Coverage wasn't too bad considering it was runny. That might just be may bad painting :-|
