Illamasqua Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have some more Illamasqua polishes to share with you today! This is the rest of the batch that I purchased from Hautelook a while back. And wouldn't you know it, Illamasqua is on Hautelook again today, starting at 11am EST. (That link is my referral link, just FYI). So let's get to it.

Swinger is a gold foil polish. This had a nice formula, I used two coats.

Raindrops is one of the most famous Illamasqua polishes. I believe it was released and then discontinued and then brought back? I'm not certain. It's a nice blue toned gray with silver flakies. This was two coats.

 Marquise is a orange toned red with gold foil shimmer. This is the sort of bright red orange color that I like and the shimmer is a bonus! 2 coats.

 Peruzzi is a true yellow gold glitter, it almost looks green but in person, it was straight up yellow gold. I love this and it was one coat! Yep, you read that correctly. Opaque glitter in one coat. Huzzah!

You cannot purchase Illamasqua in the US, as far as I know, but they are on Hautelook every so often  (ahem, TODAY!) and if you have a foreign polish friend who can grab them for you, I would recommend trying some!

Talk to you soon!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Your Shoes

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

How's it hanging, y'all? I was supposed to have several posts ready for this week buutttt I got lazy. Whoops.

Today's Twinsie Tuesday prompt is Inspired By Your Shoes. I have lots of shoes. Before I had my baby, I enjoyed wearing high heels and such as it seemed like we had a wedding every week to attend. Now that I am at home with my daughter, I don't really wear fancy shoes so I chose to use be inspired by the shoes that I wear pretty much anytime I leave the house.

My Skechers (it's the S!). I love these. They are so comfortable. Like. SO comfortable. They are just simple slip on shoes but I love them enough to buy two additional pairs as back ups, lol!

So for my manicure, I started with 2 coats of Lac Attack Silver & Cold from the Festivus collection. This is a really pretty polish with gold flakes in it and I thought the silver would look closest to the gray shoe color.

Then I used Urban Decay Addiction, which I purchased from HauteLook* a few months ago. I used a small striping brush to try to draw the loops and lines and S, but yeah. Not great, lol.

Not my greatest but it's passable, I think. I'm trying! Heehee!
