Barielle Dazzling Diamonds Collection - Swatches and Review

Today I'd like to share another Barielle Collection called *Dazzling Diamonds.  This collection is comprised of five fun glitters.  Feast your eyes:
From thumb to pinky, two coats each of Cherry Blossom Sparkler, Ebony Rainbow, Purple Hearts, Pink Diamond and Stardust, shot indoors.

Barielle's website describes Cherry Blossom Sparkler as a "red glitter" but really, it's much more than that.  It has a red jelly base which makes it quite wearable alone as well as layered, though I would probably go with at least one more coat than the two I used if I were to wear it that way.  It was quite surprising and I liked it a lot more than I expected to.  Ebony Rainbow is described as a "dark multi glitter".  It is comprised of tiny glitter in a rainbow of colors and it quite pretty.  Purple Hearts is described as a "purple glitter" but it's so much more than that.  It consists of multi-colored small glitter but also large purple glitter pieces.  It's quite fun!  Pink Diamond is a pink glitter in a clear base.  All of these glitters, with the exception of Cherry Blossom Sparkler, are in a clear base and therefore perfect for layering.  Last up is Stardust, a holo glitter.  It is not all that unique but still very nice in its own right.  

Here are some shots of the glitters layered over Barielle's Summer Fun Collection, which I reviewed in my previous post.
From thumb to pinky, one coat of Cherry Blossom Sparkler over two coats of Berry Go Round, one coat of Ebony Rainbow over two coats of Mint Ice Cream Cone, one coat of Purple Hearts over two coats of Ocean Breeze, one coat of Pink Diamond over two coats of Pink Flip-Flops and one coat of Stardust over two coats of Peach Popsicle (renamed Peach Pop on Barielle website), shot indoors.

I really like these polishes layered and wouldn't wear any of them alone with the possible exception of Cherry Blossom Sparkler.   However, as top coats, they are a lot of fun!
