Hello ladies,
Today I am wearing Cherry Tobacco from the Diamond Cosmetics Winter Collection. Many readers listed this among their selections for the Ladies Choice of Diamonds Contest. I wanted to showcase the color on the first day with bright skies.
Years ago, I used to drink cherry flavored cola as a daily pleasure. Looking at my nails, the sense memory is so vivid. I can almost taste the syrupy liquid iced in a glass. I still find the given name of the polish evocative. The scent of cherry tobacco smoke in the air is restorative for me. One of my favorite gardeners where I took photos in the summer and early fall cultivated the land with a pipe in his mouth. I actually never saw him without the pipe! The scent must have comforted his dahlias as well.
Since the season of flower rings won't be revisited until Spring, how about a fir ring?
Cherry Tobacco is not quite classifiable as almost black. The red shimmer maintains a low fire in every light, but is at it's strongest in full sun. While not a dupe, the color reminds me of OPI Black Cherry Chutney. The primary difference is Cherry Tobacco maintains it's vitality of shimmer under far more lighting conditions. This color is a must have for vampy lovers.
Application was as it should be. Two coats brought perfect opacity. I painted my nails at my boyfriend's apartment today. I didn't have acetone with me for cleanup and I took photos directly after painting. The formula was easy to work with and the color stayed where I placed it.
Cherry Tobacco was sent to me for review. This color can be purchased at diamondcosmetics.com for $2.00 a bottle.
Happy painting, ladies!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful color, I am dying to get some Diamond cosmetics. Stupid no buy!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool color!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice color ! And now I think about Cherry Coke, I need to get one ! xD
ReplyDeleteI love this shade of polish. My Dad used to smoke a pipe. I would buy him Cherry pipe tobacco. I love the smell of it. I always think of my Father when I see this. He was a smart, quiet and sweet man. I really miss him. I also think of cherry coke. Although my favorite soda is Diet Dr Pepper Cherry. I'm so hooked on this right now. I usually don't drink a lot of soda but I am now. Well that was way off subject. Your nails looks lovely in that shade. I definitely have to order it. Love the fir ring.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the smell of pipe tobacco, my dad used to smoke a pipe, it was very soothing! This is a huge lemming for me right now, I've seen utterly no bad photos of it and I think it's gorgeous. I love your fir ring! Cute :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just killing me! I want this so bad! It is a stunning color and it looks so lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous color. I love it! I also love cherry coke, and also used to drink it everyday... I don't anymore because I try to eat healthier now, but every once in a while when I'm feeling down I'll give in and it always makes me feel better!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I need this color and it will be mine! Thank you for sharing this one with us!
ReplyDeleteI received a lot of compliments when wearing this one.

ReplyDeleteSkye: Thank you, sweetie! I love vampy shades. xoxo!
Stephanie: Thanks so much! I couldn't get over how pretty the color was in the sunlight especially.
Evil Angel: Thanks, sweet lady! Would $2.00 really put you off your no buy? I suppose I am the evil one now. ;) Love you!
gildedangel: Thanks so much! You should try this one for certain!
Ayuu: Thank you! I think I have been thirsty for a Cherry Coke since applying the first coat. <3
ReplyDeleteLucy: I miss my father too. It's amazing how our senses can be linked. A color can bring back a scent and a scent can evoke a whole chain of feeling. Quite amazing what complicated beings we are. It's nice to return to simple pleasures like a satisfying beverage or a pretty shade of polish. I will have to model more fir rings for you. xoxo!
Nicole: I am so glad to see you back 'round these parts. :) Cherry Tobacco would be beautiful on your nails. You wear the vampies well. I am not helping with the lemming, am I? <3
Mighty Lambchop: Thank you, sweet lady! Cherry Tobacco in lacquer form is quite hard to resist!
kelsealaurel: Thanks so much! I feel the same way about soda and sweets. Even with a greater focus on health, it's nice on occasion to enjoy a treat. It amuses me that an indulgence in nail polish can lead to other indulgences. ;)
Jessica: Yay! I am glad you will succumb. Cherry Tobacco is a beauty that belongs on the nails of every vampy lover. <3
Danielle: How could you not? I bet it looks lovely on you. <3
Kirsten: Thanks sweetie! I am more than happy to add you so I can keep up with your polish adventures. xoxo!
flytime70: Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
