Illamasqua Phallic -Nail Varnish

Ok, so admitably, I was leant this nail varnish by a friend. Its not a colour I would usually go for , particularly for my finger nails. But due to the hype over Illamasqua nail varnish I just couldn't resist a try.

The outcome: Personally i feel the "swatch" on Illamasqua's website makes the varnish look much more appealing, however if you look closely enough at the nails, with it on. It is pretty precise. I can only describe the colour in reference to midnight Blue. In shadow, the colour could easily be mistaken for Black, but as soon as the light hits it, the tiny Blue glitter particles transform this colour to be really quite pretty and magical. The varnish was easy to apply and although I applied two coats, it did have pretty much full coverage after one. I am a fan of the Illamasqua brush, but not so much of the square-(ish) lid. I found this pretty difficult to control but that may be due to my tiny fingers.
