Diamonds is a translucide nail polish with green and silver shimmers in it.It goes really well on the application, it brings a light to the nails. Goes well on any nail polish to bring a new dimension to the nails! Love it!

This top coat is awesome.

Adds enough shimmer without going too glittery, perfect for someone like me who loves shiny, pretty nails but is old enough to know better. I like to layer it on subtle, nude-colored polish for extra fun without going full on disco.

Doubles the number of nail polish I own too!

I paid full price for this, but was still only $5.50 at my local Walgreens. So worth every penny.

Elegant yet easy to wear. The micro sparkles in this polish make it stand apart from other chunky glitter polishes aimed at a younger girl. One coat achieves a clear crisp look which from a distance looks like white clean nails. Two coats sufficiently covers, applies easily and dries quickly to a softly glistening delicate white. This product is very similar to Essie Luxeffects in "Pure Pearlfection", however compared side by side, the slight difference being that Essie is more silverish than SH "Diamonds", which appears more on the white side. As a plus, even the packaging in very nice.

WOW! This goes so well with different shades of colour and gives them beautiful dimension. The best thing is that you can glamour up all of your colours with this overcoat, so it doubles the amount of shades you have (at least in the eye of everybody else) :) The shimmer is fine and NOT chunky, looks very elegant and grown-up.

This seems to be an almost exact dupe of Essie's Luxe Effects Pure Pearlfection. Although I haven't swatched both on my nail (Just have ther SH diamonds) in the bottle,to the eye its' the same. Save your money and get the SH. That said, I really like this polish and it definitely kicks whatever your wearing up a notch when used as a topcoat over something else. Used this over a shimmery forest green at Christmas and was very pretty. I currently am wearing on top of Wet and Wild's Mega Last in Bite the Bullet. Goes over anything, I think it should be a staple in any NP Collection. It dries fast to a very hard finish. Can't speak to the staying power as I havent' noticed since I put on a final top coat..

This is soo pretty, its glitter for your nails! Not only can it add shimmer to any color but it is very pretty by itself as well. I always use it with my Nailtiques Protein Formula 2 Plus as a base and it lasts forever!

I am a big fan of the Diamond Strength series in general. I love the formula and how its all very consistent. All of the colors are really pretty. This however is my favorite, even though its only a shimmer topcoat. It can make ANYTHING instantly prettier, which is great! I am a big fan of shimmer, so this is perfect for me

I initially used this product to disguise ridges from a nail drill when I had a disasterous set of acrylic nails applied. It reflected the light to make the ridges less obvious than on naked nails. However, this product has a strong odor and cracks very easily. It also does not wear very well when applied alone and is best used as a topcoat.

I am a big fan of light silvery/pinkish/peach glitter nail polish for my hands for that 'like my own nails but better' effect. Lots of glitter nail polish is rough to the touch when it's on your nails which can make you snag pantyhose, underwear, etc. This goes on smooth as silk. I was psyched because glitter polishes are usually like sandpaper. I bought it for that reason. Quality-wise, this is a step up from my LA Colors nailpolish in Pink Diamonds. The color is beautiful but it chips too easily. Lovin' this!

I've found my summer nail Holy Grail!

I love Sally Hansen Hard As Nails as a base and top coat, so I branched out and tried some of the colored polishes. I'm wearing two coats and from a distance, my nails are a pale, shimmery, pearly pink; close up you can see tons of fine silver microglitter.

Applying is a snap. The brush length and shape are great, and the consistency is perfect--not goopy from the glitter.

I haven't used this on top of color, but I'm sure it would be amazing. I'm just loving it alone, as a my-nails-but-better shade that isn't boring. Next time I'm in the drugstore, I'm going to buy a couple of extra bottles for my stash--I have tons of bottles of polish, but this color is seriously that gorgeous. I'd hate to discover that it had been discontinued!

Super sparkly and very long lasting. Dries to a very hard finish. This polish is always pretty when worn alone, but has turned many blah and even ugly NP colors into gorgeous shades when worn as a top coat. A must have!

Really pretty polish that can be worn alone or used as a top coat if you want a sparkly finish. The only thing I dislike is that when I remove this, it's a big glittery mess. I'm talking micro-glitter EVERYWHERE – on your fingers, toes (if removing it from toenails, obviously) and every other surface it comes into even the slightest contact with. But, I still love it for what it does/looks like on, so I'm willing to suffer through the glitterful aftermath. hehe :)

BAM!!! Love at first sight !!! I've never loved a polish so much. This must be the world's best kept nail polish secret. Everything else has been said in previous reviews. Tons of micro glitter dancing in a clear base. LOVE it. Will get a backup next time I'm at the store.

I bought this on a total whim....the sparkles caught my eye as I was looking at some OPI. It was just sooooo pretty in the bottle with that little fake diamond. At the check out I said the SA, that if it's not on sale I would just leave it. I have a huge polish collection of mostly OPI and some Chanel. Am I ever glad this came home with me. I can only imagine what it would be like over coloured polish.

Love this. I have worn it over every color I own and it's just gorgeous. Haven't worn it alone, but I adore it over my reds, pinks, purples, and even my one bottle of black polish. When I paint my toes black and use this over the top, it takes the color from a flat halloween look to a very sparkly evening look and looks fantastic when I have on my black strappy heels. Just great. :)

I must agree with all the other reviewers, this stuff rocks. I have always preferred the lighter shimmery colors, well you can't get much lighter than this. It's perfect for those like me who want to just dress up their toes a little bit, offers lots of sparkle and bling, which I like.
It is lovely used on it's own but could be used over other colors to add some sparkle too. The sparkle is subtle, not chunky glitter but there is a lot of it. Looks really neat in the light, would be a good holiday shade but I have been known to wear this anytime of the year, recommended.

I love this polish! It's gorgeous used alone and lovely as a topcoat. The bits of shimmer in the polish are tiny, not like the large chunks of glitter visible in cheaper nail products. I WAS satisfied with Cover Girl's 3 in 1 Silver Lightning, until I tried this. The Sally Hansen polish costs more, but the staying power is excellent. And I like the fact that this polish has no DBP, Toluene or Free Formaldehyde. Fantastic product!
