Behold….one of the most-loved polishes I have in my entire collection. This was a gift from the lovely Kitty Luvs Color last year. She had placed an order
for Diamond Cosmetics and decided that this one just wasn’t her, so passed it on to me. And for that, I am extremely grateful as I absolutely adore this polish.
In fact, I have to force myself not to use it as much as I’d like to as I don’t have a backup, and as we all know, Diamond Cosmetics polishes are on the small side.
The colour is an awesome dusky pink that has the most amazing gold shimmer layered over and into it. It’s not a duochrome but actually I love it even more for the fact that it isn’t as the rose-gold effect makes it glow. It’s one of the prettiest things I have in my collection.
I reach for this when I need something work appropriate but striking (and then invariably put it back as I don’t want to
use it up!). It initially goes on rather sheer but then builds up to be a lovely dense colour.
Also, I love the name. I have this daydream that one day the husband and I will take a road trip across America and see all the sights. I’d love to see the Grand Canyon, maybe at sunrise, and so the name of this nail varnish conjurs up all kinds of romantic images.
I owe Kitty an apology actually as I wore this immediately after we did our swap (in July last year) but somehow managed to delete the photos before posting them, and it’s taken me well over a year to get back round to blogging about it. Terrible. Isn’t it funny how something that wasn’t right for one person can be so beloved by another? So thank you Kitty for sending this
my way – I truly do love it.
In fact, if any US readers are thinking about putting in an order for some Diamond polishes any time soon please can you let me know as I may well need a couple of back-ups of this. Thank you!

*love* this. Gorgeous colour. Nail polish win.
Never seen this before. This is GORGEOUS. Really needs your long nails to show it off. GORGEOUS.
Ooooooooooooh what a pretty colour! Take it that you can only get this in the states then? I need to find me a stateside swap buddie! lol
A road trip across America is how I would love to spend my honeymoon. No exotic beach retreats for me. The Boy is fully on board with the plan, although we’re not engaged and have no plans to run down the aisle…just yet. Hope you and the Hubbie get there soon!!
LOVE the gold undertone Helen!!

What a super colour, agree with everything you have said, what a shame it isn’t available in UK. Thanks Jan x
A sweet and sophisticated colour and as you say, goon enough for work but also for playtime. Love, love love it!
I just added this to my “wants” list. I haven’t seen this one before. Or if I did I’ve forgotten it. I love polishes with a golden shimmer. Also the rose tone is beautiful. You do need a few backups of this beauty. Looks gorgeous on you.
Now, I LOVE, love this color! Just gorgeous. Reminds me of cashmere and some kind of pale pink, diaphanous taffeta all at the same time! All I can say is I LOVE IT!
Helen, I have the site up right now and it’s $2.50 a bottle and they have it in stock. Let me know!
[…] well. Remember the other day when I was saying how much I loved Diamond Cosmetics Canyon Sunrise and I was wondering if there was a dupe for it? It appears that there is something very similar […]
Very nice post!
