Review: Duri Cosmetics - Once Upon a Dream Collection



So today I have a wonderful new summer collection called "Once Upon a Dream" from Duri Cosmetics to show you.

Duri Cosmetics is known as a professional line that aims towards high performance for consumers at salons and specialty stores nationwide.  Their nail polish is meant to be long-lasting and chip-resistant with a smooth finish.  Their nail products are 3-Free: DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde.  Each bottle holds 0.5 floz./15ml.


Once Upon a Dream has six beautiful pastel colors.  From bottom to top:  Pillow Pink, Soft Slumber Blush,  Lilac Dream, Sleeping Beauty Indigo, Pie in the Sky Green, and Cloud True Blue.
The pigment-rich pastel palette isn't meant to put you to sleep, but to dream big for long-lasting summer days and temperate nights.  - Duri Cosmetics Founder Faina Ritz
The colors are supposed to remind you of "embody clear skies, pink sunsets, carnivals and carousels."  When I first saw this collection it reminded me more of spring, but as I read what Duri Cosmetics was aiming for I started thinking what does summer really mean to me.  When I look up at the clear blue skies, it isn't neon blue.  So I am so glad that Duri Cosmetics went the pastel route instead of the typical neon colors.

Each of the polishes were two to three coats for me and dried at a reasonable time.

Cloud True Blue is a creme baby blue or a dusty sky blue.

Pillow Pink is a light peachy-pink creme. 

Soft Slumber Blush is a baby pink shade.

Lilac Dream is a soft pale lilac.  

Sleeping Beauty Indigo is a lovely soft periwinkle creme

Pie in the Sky Green is a gorgeous mint green polish.

There were some issues with streaks but it didn't bother me much since a third coat will fix things.  I think my favorite from this collection would have to be Sleeping Beauty Indigo and Pie in the Sky Green.

Duri Cosmetics nail polish only cost $6 each and they really carry some gorgeous colors.  The best bet if you want to get a hold of their nail polishes is to purchase it from the Duri Cosmetic's website.

Have you picked up a Duri Cosmetic nail polish yet?  Are you eyeing a polish from this collection?

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!
