Easter flowers: Diamond Cosmetics Bahama Mama



Bleeding heart flower






























Hello ladies,

For those who celebrated Easter today, I hope you had a pleasant holiday. I couldn't resist creating a manicure to match the local blooms of the season.

I began with one of the new Summer shades from Diamond Cosmetics: Bahama Mama. With Konad green special polish, I stamped the leaves from image plate H10. Every other nail, the positioning of the greenery was switched and adjusted to the left or right. I added dried flowers in orange, yellow, green, blue and purple along with two sizes of coordinating rhinestones. So cheerful!

Bahama Mama is a vibrant pink creme. I would classify this shade as a bright, but there may be a bit of neon pigment in the mix. I applied three coats, more for evenness than opacity. For $2.50 a bottle, you can't go wrong with this polish!

For those of you wondering why I did not feature the three Spring polishes, it is because they never arrived. I did make requests for the shades when I put the promo photos up and again afterwards. I apologize for not being able to honor requests to see these colors. If the Spring Collection does arrive, I will certainly give it a nice showing.

I hope these bright flowers brought a little Springtime to your part of the map. Enjoy!

Bahama Mama was sent to me for review. This polish will soon be available for US residents to purchase at diamondcosmetics.com. For international shipping, keep an eye on boozyshop.nl for availability.

Image plate H10 was provided for my consideration. To explore the full line of nail art stamping products and supplies, visit chez-delaney.com.

Happy painting, ladies!

  15. You should design surfboards. The color is of a tropical island. The manicure takes me there. Pretty special to look at your nails and travel.
    And you could design me a boogie board. Love, me.
