How are all you hotties today?! ;c)
Today I am bringing you some Illamasquas. They aren't new, but they are gorgeous! I love the edgy-ness of this line, the bottles, the formula, the brushes, the colors, the names of the colors... They are just amazing! Here is the ones I have:
Hectic, Milf, Elope, Whack, Rampage
Hectic - Dirty olive green creme. How I love it. I know these types of shades are not for everyone but they are for me! My winter coat is the same exact color! This swatch is 3 coats. Hectic is similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge - No More War in that it is a dirty, olive green but it's actually not that close when you compare. Observe:
Hectic on the left, No More War on the right. Hectic is more yellow and calm and No More War is more brown and funky.
Milf - I thought this was a clean, yellow-based mint green, but it is actually a rather dusty color. Mint, yes, but a little dusty. It really doesn't show it's dusty property too much on the nail. It just gives it a slightly aged, vintage look. But it is very evident when you look at it next to a polish like BB Couture - Laguna Lagoon, which is very clean and bright. It is gorgeous though and I love it! I wore it for 3 straight days this week! This swatch is 2 coats.
Elope - Bright, bright kelly green creme. This is very vivid and very green. Perfect for St. Patrick's Day! This swatch is 3 coats. This polish is very vivid. It has a bit of a neonish/antifreeze glow to it in real life. Very awesome.
Whack - Mega bright, super bold, red-orange creme. 2 coats. I LOVE THIS! Best orange creme. And it has staying power. I intentionally wore it one weekend when I knew I wouldn't be able to redo my nails. And it lasted and lasted.
Rampage - Super smooth, jelly finish dark green creme. 3 coats. We've seen it before, I know, but we can always see it again because it is beautiful. 3 coatsIllamasqua is based in the United Kingdom and will ship internationally from this site: http://www.illamasqua.com/ and in the US you can purchase them from Sephora, but they don't carry Elope and Hectic. Lame.

Hectic looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI literally was in Sephora today in Atlanta buying Illamasqua polishes and they didn't have any left in Milf. I was devastated; I'm lemming it so bad. Hectic is swesome, and I got whack. Love it. If only Elope was available in store :( Beautiful swatches as always!
ReplyDeletegildedangel - Oh it is!
ReplyDeleteAnge-Marie - Oh no! I ordered Whack and Rampage online at Sephora and I wanted Milf then and it was out of stock. :c( Lucily a sweetheart in The Netherlands sent it too me. Thank you!
Thanks for the comparioson of Hectic and No More War. I have to get Hectic. Love that shade. Basically I love greens, especially the olive toned ones. Elope is a gorgeous shade. I love their bottles also. I did get Milf online from Sephora. I was lucky it was there in the middle of the night. I'd tried before by having them email me. No luck. Finally I got it. Your swatches are beautiful.
