Illamasqua – Speckle

Saturday, August 17th, 2013

Illamasqua Speckle is a gorgeous lavender colored polish from the Imperfection collection that came out earlier this year. There are both micro-glitter and bigger hexagon-shaped black glitter in it. I really like these types of polishes that look like speckled bird eggs, even if its glitter in them they’re still quite discrete. The glitter was distributed pretty evenly and I went with three coats as I usually do. I think I only did one thin layer of top coat, it looks like I would have needed some more to get a real smooth surface.

Let’s enjoy this beauty in the sun:

Illamasqua – Nomad

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013

Today I have a real beauty to show you on Karin’s Green Wednesday. Nomad from Illamasqua is an absolutely gorgeous jade green creme. I love how it’s soft and bright at the same time.  This is three coats plus Poshé top coat, it was a very nice formula on this one.

I photographed it in the evening without sun. I’m not sure how accurate the color is, I think it looks a tad too cool in these photos.

I will definitely be wearing this one again!

Besides the polish, I just wanted to show you an outfit I wore with Nomad. Please excuse the lousy background and weird pose. It’s hard taking a photo of yourself when the cord is only a meter long. Lets just say that I don’t have any plans on becoming a fashion blogger anytime soon.. =)

This lovely sweater is from Desigual, I love it since there are so many colors in it to match with nails and makeup. You probably can’t see it in the photo, but there is some green in it that I thought matched Nomad pretty well. And yes, I also have sneakers with hot pink leopard pattern!
