Duri ANGELS AND DEMONS, BLACK DIAMOND, DRAGONTINI, and FALLEN ANGEL Nail Polish Swatches and Review

Recently a new nail polish brand has been brought to my attention - Duri!  They aren't new to the world, since they're been around since 1990, but they're new to me ;)

One of their most recent collections is a group of polishes is inspired by the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

From the Press Release:

Duri Cosmetics' deep hues inspired by Lisbeth's troubled nature puts nails in character with fiery hot shades and shivering cool Nordic winter whites to capture the complete picture.  

• Fallen Angel (Dark plum with a hint of red shimmer)
• Black Diamond (Black with shimmer)
• Dragontini (Dark purple)
• Angels and Demons (Dark grey with silver glitter)
• Icicle (Creamy white with crystal shimmer)
• Frozen Fire  (Sheer pink with sparkling crushed ice)

Beauty Tip: Layer Icicle or Frozen Fire over the deep, dark hues listed above for even more Lisbeth Salander looks!

 For this post, I have Angels and Demons, Black Diamond, Dragontini, and Fallen Angel to share with you.  I so with I had Frozen Fire to layer.  Doesn't it sound amazing?!

 L-R: Dragontini, Fallen Angel, Black Diamond, Angels and Demons

Angels and Demons

Black Diamond

Dragontini

Fallen Angel

The formula on these polishes is amaze-balls!  I wore Fallen Angel for 5 days with very minimal tip wear (since this was a new-to-me brand I wanted to test the wear!).  My day-to-day is extremely rough on my nails, so when a polish lasts longer than a day I'm impressed, but this was FIVE!  Application was super easy and I only needed 2 coats for each!

The polishes paint on extremely glossy and keep the glossy look for about a day before you'd need to add a top coat.  If you plan on wearing them longer than a day, though, you'd need a top coat anyway.

As far as the price point goes, these polishes are extremely affordable at only $5 each!  WOOT!

All Duri nail products are completely safe (unlike Lisbeth), environmentally-friendly and free from DBP, TOLUENE and FORMALDEHYDE.
