I love Illamasqua. They are a European brand that hit the US Sephoras late last year. They pride themselves on being the makeup you wear "for night." Dramatic long lasting colors- bright red blush, full coverage neon lipsticks (including black and gold), and a vast array of nail polishes that most companies don't even make!
I tried on 10 of the most interesting colors that Sephora carried and have included pics to help you decide which ones you want to buy.
I will say that the color that appears in the bottle is pretty much the color that appears on the nails. Each color on my finger has only one coat. So, you can see that you get full coverage, rich looking vibrancy right away.
from pinky to thumb:
(Hand without the ring)
Rampage--dark deep green
Lament--pink with a hint of coral
Fern--medium robin's egg blue with fine silver shimmer
Wayward--sun yellow
Alarm--red with orange undertones
(hand with the ring)
Rare--Neon yellow (with a slight hint of green)
Whack--Orange with a slight red undertone
Collide--Hot Pink
Milf--light mint green
Muse--Teal
My favorites are Alarm--This color definately has that seductress/femme fatal quality. I also love Fern. The microscopic shimmer in this is gorgeous and allows this color to not fall flat. This would be beautiful on the toes.
The quality of these colors are great too. They don't chip easily. You don't need to spend time applying multiple coats. Also, if you want, you can also apply your favorite base and top coat. Don't have a favorite? Well, Illamasqua has got that part covered as well.
So, if you're looking for unconventional colors to show off your personality or to match that outfit that no one else seems to carry, give Illamasqua a try!
