Good evening! Darling Diva Polish has been releasing some amazing polishes of late and their newest collection, The Salem Collection, is no exception! This collection consists of 7 eye-catching holos that are sure to bewitch you!
Post continued after the jump!
This is going to be a lengthy post with lots of photos so I am just going to state here that the formula on all of these was absolutely amazing. I used 2 coats on all swatches with one coat of the
Darling Diva Pryzmatic Top Coat.
I got sun pics of all but one of these. I was swatching these very quickly as the sun was setting and literally went across the street and down several houses to catch the light on a couple of them. Yeah, my neighbors probably think I'm crazy but it's all in the name of polish so I am ok with that. Because of this you'll notice the sun pics are warmer on some colors than others, but at least you can get a feel for them in all different lighting.
-----------------------------------
Ashes Ashes is a polish that's hard to describe! It is a blackened plum that can look straight black or deep purple depending on the light. There's also a strong blue arc in the holo making it appear blue sometimes as well. Definitely a stand-out polish.

BEWBS! is a must-have for everyone! This is a berry/wine/vampy red-purple that is just perfect.

Dark Ritual is a deep forest green with golden undertones and an intense blue flash in the holographic arc. This one is great for fall but I can also see it being perfect for the upcoming holiday season. (I apparently forgot to get shade pics of this one and didn't realize it until I was cropping the photos. My apologies for that!)

Dream Walker is the brightest polish in this collection. This one is a gorgeous medium, very saturated cerulean blue. The added shimmer really makes it sing.

Malum is a beautiful medium brown with mauve undertones and gold flakies. This is another one at the top of my list! Apparently I forgot shade photos of this one as well.

Queen of the Night is a deep navy blue that reminds me of velvet. I don't know what it is about this one but it is very rich and luscious. And does anyone else have Whitney Houston playing in their head now? (This is the one I was unable to get sunlight photos for.)

The Grand Rite - I am so in love with this one! If you know me, you know I love red. This one is a deep, vampy oxblood red. It can appear slightly rusty or even bright red depending on the lighting. There is a bright red flash in the holographic arc and, well, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.
