Diamond Cosmetics Hot Summer Pink

2 coats, direct sun

I had in mind the idea of a hot pink and black zebra manicure. I originally started with Essie Punchy Pink, an untried neon. After 4 coats and terrible streaking, I admitted failure. I removed it and applied this color instead. This is one of my favorite hot pinks - look how pretty the shimmer is! It has a little bit of blue flash, but not enough to be overwhelming. Once that dried, I got out the Konad!


I used Konad's Special black for the stripes. I see why this polish is so great for Konad - it's thick, sticky, and dries quickly. It stains like crazy, and I got it all over myself. But isn't the pattern incredibly cool? I love it, and expect to be konad obsessed for quite awhile - I've ordered the fake konad from ebay, and I'm planning to get the other full nail plates from wowsocool - I like them better on me, with my shortish nails. You can see I had trouble with image transfer on a few nails, but I'm really pleased overall!
