It´s time for the mainstream goodness of O.P.I! For being a brand I don´t really like much I have a ridiculous amount of them. Time to start going through them to see which ones I want to keep. I honestly don´t even know how some of them ended up here...

Darling Diva - Pink Diamond
Manicure: Two coats of "Pink Diamond".
Note: It´s a horrible stainer. It stains nails, cuticles and fingers. I wouln´d say it´s very pink or holorgaphic either.

Brand Presentation - Darling Diva
I don´t know if Darling Diva is still up and running. The web shop won´t take me to the checkout and the Facebook page hasn´t got any entries since 2018.
Either way, the brand is a real classic american Indie brand. I doubt there are many nail polish fans who haven´t heard of them. Their Muscle Car Collection is epic even though I don´t own any of them myself. I do however own a few other bottles. Lets see what I think about them!

Color Week - Midnight Blue
It´s been ages since I threw off a color week. I´ve been focusing a lot on swatching and getting rid of polishes I don´t want to keep the past year and a half. And it will take me at least two more years to go through them all. ; )
Anyway, none of these four beauties belong in that category though. I quite simply love all of these!

Glam Polish Halloween Horror Shop 2019
This week I´ve got some smashing polishes for you! No less than four shades from last year´s Halloween Horror Shop from Glam Polish. It might be a little off season for Halloween, but in my book it´s always time for watching horror movies, even in the summer!
