The Diva collection for Fall 2012 contains 6 polishes that are a mixture of shimmers and micro glitters. All swatches are over Finger Paints base coat and have no top coat.
Elisa
Elisa is a vibrant Christmas-y red shimmer. I used 2 coats for these photos, but I'm not sure the 2nd was necessary. It darkened the polish a bit, but didn't really add much opacity wise. My brush feels a little off- almost mop-like- but even with that application was very smooth and the formula was great.

Suri
Suri is a blue-based royal purple shimmer. Royal is a good description because when I look at this polish I think monarchs and throne rooms and all that stuff. The formula feels a little runny and tends to catch on the brush bristles so make sure you wipe your brush down well. This is 2 coats.

Song
Song is a very vibrant sapphire blue shimmer. The formula was a little runny again and if you go over an area you've already polished it can drag some. Just wait a little longer between coats and you shouldn't have too much issue with that. Dry time was longer than normal as well. You might want to double up on the base coat as this one does have staining potential. I used 2 coats for these swatches.

All three of these polishes are very lovely, but Song is my favorite of them. What about all of you? Which is your favorite? Anyone try any of these yet?
