Seafoam Spray was one that I’d eyed on a few other blogs recently but held out buying as I’ve been bitten by various mint greens of late, as you know. Lobster red hands just don’t do it for me and so I’ve been nervous about a lot
of these types of colours.
Thankfully, Seafoam Spray is just the right shade that it doesn’t make me look sunburned, and in fact, this was is the manicure I wore over Easter, and let me just say, not only did I not want to take it off, it lasted four days without chipping or showing any sign of tipwear. Amazing.
At first I thought this was going to be horribly sheer and relegated to topcoat status, like so many of the
old and rare OPIs I own that appear to be a similar consistency, so I was both very pleased and surprised when this built to be beautifully opaque in three coats. I did a fourth just to make certain as I still had a hint of VNL but I think three would have been fine.
The colour is the prettiest light green, not quite grassy, not quite minty but a nice hybrid of the two with a tiny bit of grey.
What really makes it for me though is the gold shimmer that runs throughout. It isn’t a brassy gold, more of a perfectly co-ordinating, very delicate and pretty sheen. You can see it swirling in the bottle, and it translates perfectly to the nail.
I love this – it has a beautiful glazed effect and I was amazed at how fast
drying and long lasting it was. I have nothing like it in my collection and I really think it is back-up-worthy.
People have been raving about Diamond Cosmetics’ formula for the best part of a year now, and although I’ve tried many of them, this is far and away the most brilliant one I have tried. Not bad for something that only cost me £3.00.
