And here the naillaquers! :)
Shades from left to right:
Harsh (Silver Glitter)- 3 coats
Spartan (Gold and Silver Glitter) - 3 coats
Untold (Red Glitter) - 3 coats
Jan (light dusky Pink)
Obsess (Bright Fuchsia Pink)
Strike (Turquoise Blue - Shimmer Finish)
Muse (Deep Teal Blue)
Hectic (Warm Olive Green) - 3 coats
Verbal (Capuccino Nude)
Wayward (Bright Taxicab Yellow)
(If nothing is stated i applied 2 coats and the finish is Cream)
Harsh, Spartan and Untold are the only 3 Glitter Nailpolish Illamasqua has so far and i love them! :)
You could wear them alone but i prefer to layer them on top of other nailpolishes. Untold looks great over red or black naillaquer - i think i will post NOTD too in future so you will see that for sure! Harsh looks great over every cool toned color and Spartan over every warm toned base, i would pair Harsh with blues and Spartan with oranges or reds e.g
I would say you need 3 coats to make them really visible!
The other shades except Strike have a Cream finish - but there are 2 different ones.
Hectic and Obsess are not as opaque as the other shades, especially Verbal is extremly pigmented and thicker in consistency. If you have a steady hand and can make it look even with one coat, i'd say one coat is enough for most Illamasqua polishes.
The shades are pretty awesome!
Jan is a really nice dusky pink...sort of a colour with an vintage feel to it, it is in fact very similar to Love&Friendship which came out with MAC's Rose Romance LE this year but Love&Friendship is more on the purple side and Jan on the pink side.
Obsess is beyond words, this is a stunnig shade of Pink. I like the colour pink but most pink nailpolishes look the same, when i came across GOSH's Flamingo i thought "that's it" it was bright and unique i got asked a billion times what i'm wearing and besides Obsess it looks SO boring :) i still love Flamingo bt Obsess is my new HG when it comes to Pink nailpolish! :)
Strike is a shimmery Turquoise not boring but nothing special either...hard to discribe, i have a lot of tealish polishes so it is hard to get something that is completely different. My first and only love for Blue/Teal nailpolish is Plasma Blu by MAC which was LE - sadly, when this is empty i'll cry a river...or an ocean, i'm not sure yet...
Muse is actually pretty cool, i love dark polishes and this is a very nice shade of Teal - i'm sure there are similar colour out there but since it's a longlasting laquer and SO opaque i'd say try it if you're looking for a nice Teal polish!
Hectic is a darker olive green, like i said before, this is a quite liquid polish so you need 3 coats - at least i do :) but since i'm used to that from other Brands it's not that bad. I like the colour very much and i was looking for an Olive shade for quite a while now.
Verbal Capuccino is not the most commonly used colour for your nails but i saw it on the runways every now and then for the past 2 years or so and i liked the look :) - if you have dark/very dark skin this will look so stunning!
Wayward is an attention grabbing shade of yellow - nothing else to say :) if you like your nails bold and bright Wayward is worth a look as well as Obsess!
Illamasqua are good quality polishes in unique and stunning shades!
