Swatch: Diego Dalla Palma - Shade 18

Hi ladies! I have a swatch post for you today from Diego Dalla Palma. Before this polish, I had never heard of Diego Dalla Palma, so before I get into the swatch post, I thought I would give you a little bit of background to Diego Dalla Palma.

"The diego dalla palma brand came into being in Milan in the mid 1970s and it was immediately a revolution: professional skills together with revolutionary and non-conventional ideas, an ironic and breakaway language and the capacity to give an unusual and provocative image of oneself, are the distinguishing features of a successful brand for Italian and international professionals." 

As well as make-up, Diego Dalla Palma also have a Nail Polish range which consists of;

• Base Coat; Protects the keratin of the nails from external agents and from the application of nail varnish, apply before all other nail products to prevent nail discolouration. Pink-tinged texture but transparent when applied.
• Nail Gloss; A transparent gloss to apply on top of nail varnish to make it last longer and give incredible shine.
• Nail Polish; Sophisticated shades that quickly become staples, their creamy formula ensures an even application with a bright, high-gloss effect and no chip/no streak finish.

Now that the information is out of the way, lets get onto the polish swatch shall we?!

The colour I have to show you is Shade 18; a vibrant, high gloss, true Red creme. Is it just me or do you get a little disappointed when the name is just a number? The application itself was perfect, the photos below are 3 coats, but it's so pigmented you could have easily gotten away with 2. Drying time was spot on too, by the time I had finished painting my second hand, the first was ready for another coat.
