This is another one of the polishes I got in my swap with the lovely Kitty.
Joust For Kicks is a gorgeous rich chocolate brown, with inner gold shimmer. It is simply stunning.
What I love about this polish, aside from the fact that it only costs about $2.50 is that this was one coat! Diamond seem to have hit on a great formula, easily as good as any of the premium brands, and for a fraction of the price.
The one coat I did went on
beautifully. The brush is the perfect size, picking up just the right amount of polish and also resulting in zero clean-up. You really could slap this on before going out – no mess, no fuss.
I’m sorry about my constantly lumpy middle nail. Tragedy struck last night when I couldn’t find my nail buffer. It seems to look worse in photos than it does in person, if that’s any consolation!
And here’s the close-up. This is a really striking polish and certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the China Glaze Rodeo Diva collection. Warm, shimmery, easy to apply, and cheap. What’s not to like?
It’s not pictured here but I’m currently getting stuck into a bottle of pink champagne. Bit decadent for a Friday night in front of the tv perhaps, but we’re still making our way through all our engagement gifts (mainly booze and chocolate), plus I’m celebrating some good news at work today. What a great way to start the weekend!
Loving this one totally a me colour
Congrats on the good news at work you got!
Nothing wrong with downing some champagne in front of telly – imo.
I just love Diamond Cosmetics, I really do! I just adore them, I don’t think I have come across any that I have had problems with. This brown is so pretty and I can’t believe it was only one coat!
Beautiful This is your kind of shade 🙂 Congratulations on your promotion to President and CEO (that is what happened, right?!!). Enjoy your weekend and don’t drink all the gifts.
Lol I had a bottle of fizz last weekend……you soooo don’t need an excuse to crack one open in front of the telly (footie in my case!)
Fab colour, very rich and glitzy!

This is so pretty! Love this one. I had ordered 26 bottles of the stuff. It was nice that it didn’t cost me a small fortune. Glad you got some good news at work. They love your polish so much that they’re going to fund you polish habit right? Wouldn’t you just love that. Pink champagne and the telly is decadence beyond compare!
I thought you might like it 🙂
I know – you are such a good ambassador for Diamond as well. I ahd one tricky one but all the others have been amazing.
Ha – not quite. It was more good news for someone else but I participated so it was all very rewarding.
Loving the image of you quaffing champagne whilst watching the footie! Good work!
26 bottles! Awesome. It doesnt feel so painful I bet as they are not expensive.
ha – I wish!
This looks lovely on you! Sorry to hear about your nail! Glad to heat things are good at work!
