P2 Nail Polishes

So P2 is a brand which is only available in Germany and Austria - which is a shame because they're awesome!

They do have a whole cosmetic range but i didn't found it as interesting as their nail polishes :)
I bought 3 polishes yesterday and tried one of these - opaque with 2 coats and lets see about the staying power...

Their range for nails is quite big, they have various nail care products aswell - from top coat over cuticle oil to handcream. I also bought the Anti-Split Coat because the nail on my left indexfinger tends to split.

It says "Clear nail polish protects the nail tip from splintering on the edge. A flexible and waterproof layer strengthens the nail and protects the nail tip from softening in water."
IF this polishes is working i'll buy more of their care range but for now i'm testing this one for a few weeks :)

Here are the polishes and the care laquer:

Left to Right: 208 Rich & Royal, 120 It's Hot, 191 Gigantic, Anti Split Coat

The blue one is stunning, the red is just a classic red and the grey one ha a tint of purple - great colours!

The colours range from classic to dark reds, bright pinks and purples, teals and blues to neutral beiges and black or dark chocolate and i also saw a pastel yellow and a green. The textures are cream or shimmer - no glitter :(
AND the have a matte top coat! I think i will love this brand! :D

That's my first Review for this brand, i'm sure many will follow!

Bye!

NOTD - Illamasqua Obsess

Here's my favourite Pink! :)
Illamasquas Nail Varnish Obsess in action!

I will try to post NOTD frequently - I hope I can...

Illamasqua Nail Varnish Swatches and Review

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!
