CND Shellac - Dark Diamonds 7.3ml/0.25 fl oz

I have lots of shellac colours but have not seen this before.Beautiful rich deep colour with stunning sparkles. Love the fact that the glitter does not have a gritty texture but feels so smooth .Looks fantastic with the glossy top coat.I got this for a fantastic price and was concerned as to whether it was genuine. It looked genuine with the plastic insert and box and the numbers underneath matched those on the box, the proof to me is tge reaction of my nails.A few years ago I became allergic to gels that are commonly sold similar colours to the genuine shellac. Within an hour of the gels going on my nail I feel it burning and itching. I have to get it off straight away and give my nails a rest with no product on my nails for around a month. If I dont get it off straight away my nails lift awy from the nail bed and skin on my fingers and then fall off. You can imagine how painful that is. With genuine CND Shellac I do not have that problem at all . But I used this and after application there was no reaction whatsoever so I know it is a genuine product.Highly recommend this colour of CND Shellac and the seller.

Firstly, this post is about the COLOUR, not the delivery, not the concept of shellac and certainly not a rant about EU regulations. This is because this is what I would look for in a CND colour review, so I hope that works for you too.I have posted a couple of photos of this colour because I thought it was so difficult to describe. In bright conditions it really is the most beautiful 'Cadburys' purple. The colour is deep, with a slight sheen. In dull conditions it looks more like a royal blue with a purple hue (again there is a photo) and in the evening and indoors it is more like a navy blue with a purple hue.I find this colour extremely enjoyable to wear, because it is a bit snazzy when it looks purple but it is absolutely beautifully professional for me to go to work / meetings with. It doesnt look at all out of place with a work suit. Having 2 or 3 colours in one means that I havent got at all bored, which is very unusual for me.In case you are wondering, because this does appear blue in some light conditions, it is quite different from the 'Midnight Swim' CND colour (which is very dark aqua blue).You do need 3 coats to get enough coverage, but if you layer thinly, it will build up beautifully.You may also notice from the photos that it lasts. These were taken over a week after application and is growing out but still completely intact.Enjoy :o)

Good product for natural look nails. Need to be used for strong nails or with base. Nice nude colour.

Great colour, coverage, and a good applicator brush. Fantastic service / fast delivery, really happy!

I really like using shellac, great results every time and I love the colour.

This arrived very quickly. Although some find this colour more translucent then desired, I love it with a sparkly coat over the top. On a negative note I only brought this as it said it had the curve hugging brush but when it arrived it doesn’t so this is very disappointing as I find it goes on better with the curve hugging brush.

I have gotten into the habit of buying CND Shellac polishes for my finance and she absolutely loves them. This Zillionaire adds a real sparkle to nails, but is often best used in conjunction with another colour underneath.There is a bit more effort involved with the whole application process and the time taken to apply, dry, re-coat etc. with a UV lamp used for drying and hardening the polish. However when done they look excellent and they last a lot longer too.This base & top coat is essential in that process, or so I am led to understand.The price can be a little off putting but you get what you pay for and even though I do not really understand all the nail polishing stuff I have to admit, I have been quite impressed with how good the CND product is.My other half always gets complimented on how good her nails look so that says something.

I'm not a nail tech, however, I bought a Mylee Gel Kit so that I could do my own nails at home cheaply as I can't justify going to a salon every 3 weeks. Anyway, I got some Mygel colours with the kit and they are FAR superior to this CND colour. Admittedly, I have never used Shellac colours previously but I wanted a lovely rich purple. This is NOT a nice rich purple; it is a watery nothingness and looks like I've applied a cheap nail varnish. I can't comment on longevity as I have only just applied it but I can't see it lasting very long. Actually, I will be removing it in a few days as it looks so bad. I don't know whether it is just this particular colour, but I probably won't buy Shellac again. The Mygel colours are so much better, richer and only need two coats, whereas I did three with this one and they are still a little translucent. A waste of money in my opinion
