Darling Diva Polish Electric Sex Review & Swatches

As soon as I got Darling Diva Polish Electric Sex in the mail, I had a huge gut feeling it was based off the "leg lamp" in A Christmas Story. Carrie, the creator of Darling Diva Polish, confirmed this and it made so happy! My husband and I noticed a smaller replica of the leg lamp while shopping the other day and are seriously thinking about buying one soon! :P This polish makes me want to go out and buy one even more now!

Darling Diva Polish Electric Sex is a black jelly based polish with various shapes and sizes of gold glitter.

For my index and ring finger I used 1 coat of Electric Sex over 2 coats of Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris. My middle and pinky fingers are 3 coats of Electric Sex over bare nail. All nails have no top or base coats.

Formula of this polish was great! It dried quickly and has a nice glossy look without a top coat. There was no need to "fish" out any glitters and was the perfect consistency. :)

While I did try Electric Sex over a black polish to see how it looked compared to no base color, I think I prefer it without a base color. I love how the gold glitters are hidden in the jelly base and peak through when the light hits them. 

Darling Diva Polish A Christmas Story inspired polishes, which includes Electric Sex, will be available tomorrow, November 1st, at Darling Diva's etsy store here. You can find other great swatches from the A Christmas Story inspired collection on Captivating Claws blog here, Jen's Nail Files Facebook here and Pointless Cafe here.

Darling Diva Polish Pink Nightmare Review & Swatches

I have another great polish from Darling Diva Polish's A Christmas Story themed collection today, Pink Nightmare! I have to admit, I love looking up the pictures from the movie to include in my post, it gets me super excited about the holiday season in general and being able to watch the movie a million times! :P

Darling Diva Polish Pink Nightmare has a pink shimmery base with various sizes of pink hexagon glitter, larger white hexagon glitter and iridescent hexagon glitter (my new favorite thing!). 

All fingers are 2 coats of Pink Nightmare over no base base coat and with a top coat of Hong Kong Girl Top Coat. 

This polish was a tad thick, but workable. There is so much glitter in Pink Nightmare, I think that has a lot to do with it having a little thicker formula and also contributing to it having an average dry time. I didn't have to "fish" for a single glitter, in fact a few times I had to swipe off some glitter from the brush on the neck because so much came out at once! 

Pink Nightmare is far from a nightmare, it's like a dream! That is if you dream of pink sparkly amazingness! :P It has the same beautiful iridescent hexes that You'll Shoot Your Eye (post here) had, so I could not be happier! :)

Darling Diva Polish A Christmas Story inspired polishes will be available for purchase on Thursday, November 1st. Find Darling Diva Polishes on etsy here and on Facebook here.

Darling Diva Polish You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Review & Swatches

When Darling Diva Polish asked me to review some polishes for her, I was super excited. Then, I read that she was basing her holiday polishes off the movie A Christmas Story and I almost died from happiness! I can't be the only person that watches this movie at least a dozen times during the holidays! :P When I was looking for a photos to include with each post, normally I don't but with these polishes how could I not, I even found that the house used in the film is now a museum (link here) how awesome! 

Darling Diva Polish You'll Shoot Your Eye Out is a mixture of larger white and blue holographic hexes, white matte squares, white bar glitter and smaller iridescent hexes all in a clear base. Enough glitter to shoot your eye out with! :P

I used 2 coats of You'll Shoot Your Eye Out over  2 coats of Chirality Polish Cu2+ (post here). No base coat was used and I used a top coat of Seche Vite.

Application of You'll Shoot Your Eye Out was great! I did have to place a few glitters, but I didn't need to "dab" on the polish to begin with. The formula wasn't too thick or too thin, which is nice because with a lot of "glitter bombs" it goes one way or the other, and dry time was average. With 1 coat of Seche Vite my nail felt slightly "bumpy", I think had I applied one more coat of Seche Vite or a thicker coat this would have been smoothed out better. I didn't have a problem with any of the glitter sticking up even with 1 coat of top coat though!

This polish is a "glitter bomb" to say the least! All the colors work great together and I absolutely LOVE the iridescent hexes! :D

Darling Diva Polish You'll Shoot Your Eye Out and the rest of the A Christmas Story inspired polishes aren't available for purchase yet but will be on Thursday, November 1st. You can find Darling Diva Polishes on etsy here.
