Viviana is a direct selling cosmetics company in India. Sadiq from Viviana kindly sent me some of their nail lacquers to review and share with all my readers :)
The first one that I tried was Dark Desire. From the colour drops on their website, I was expecting this to be deep dusty blue. But it was actually a beautiful purple! Purples can be very difficult to capture on camera. I tried to capture the colour as accurately as I could.
Ok, now lets talk about the application. Honestly, when it comes to Indian nail lacquers, I haven't had the best experience, with the exception of ColorBar. So I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly Dark Desire applied. It was also highly pigmented, completely opaque in two coats and dried to a smooth glossy finish. You don't really need top coat if you change your manicure every couple of days, like me.
Drying time was average. It wasn't the best I've seen, but not that bad either.
Here are the swatches. 2 coats of Dark Desire. No top coat.
Overall, Dark Desire may not be the most unique polish ever, but I couldn't find a dupe for it in my nail polish stash. I was definitely impressed by my first Viviana polish. I'm hoping the rest will be equally awesome.

Viviana nail lacquers are DBP and toluene-free. They retail for Rs129 on their website. Urban Touch sells them for Rs.105. That's just a little over $2!!! Overseas readers can also check out the Viviana website & leave a query in the contact column for direct purchasing. Viviana is a direct selling company. So you can join them and get lifetime discounts of 20-25% on all products. That's amazing!
