Diamond Cosmetics Under the Willow Tree

Hi guys! I'm still in Florida and am having a great time, but unfortunately, I am also still at the hotel of death/no wi-fi. Happily though, we were able to find an internet cafe nearby, and I finally got to set up some posts to publish automatically. So if everything goes as planned, it shouldn't be so dead around here. And even better, we're going to a different place on Saturday so fingers crossed for internet!

For today though, I have Under the Willow Tree, from Diamond Cosmetics Fall 2010 Collection.

Under the Willow Tree is a rich and deep midnight green creme.

It actually looks more blue than green to me.

Sunlight, no flash.

Natural light, no flash.

Under the Willow Tree is stunning, and I'm expecting to have it in heavy rotation this fall and winter. The shade of green is unique, chic and sophisticated, and I love its ultra-smooth creamy finish. I also love how it looks on my nails and can see it flattering a wide variety of skin tones.

Under the Willow Tree also has a perfect formula. It applied like a dream...smoothly and easily, with no dragging, bubbling or other such things. It was also pretty much opaque in one silky coat, but for the sake of security, I went with two.

And that's all from me today! Thanks for reading, and have a fantastic Friday! ^_^

Oh, it's gorgeous, for sure, and definitely kind of unique! Glad to hear you're having a good time! And sometimes it's nice not to be plugged in :D

I feel the same way! Diamond Cosmetics is quickly becoming one of my favorite polish companies. :D

And that's actually true. At first it was weird, but it is nice to not have to worry about what's going on on facebook and blogger and all these forums and all that stuff. It's nice to just live in the real world for a bit. ^_^

I'm so jealous of your whereabouts. I hope you are having a fantastic time!!

This color does look like silk. I love dark colors, but sometimes get sad when they look nearly black in low lighting. This one seems to manage to still peak a bit blue.

Aw thanks! I am having a pretty good time ahaha....I kind of don't even want to come back home. And definitely don't want to come back to school. -____-

And yes, it definitely still maintains its real color even in lower light. That's another nice thing about it!

lmbo, you are so silly and me gusta.
And I can see why it would make you want to sing that. Pocahontas used to hang out with her family under the willow tree...her family was the willow tree AHAHA.
