Illamasqua Speckle Nail Polish

Illamasqua Nail Polish "Speckle" £14.50

I had seen this nail polish on a few blogs and thought it looked really pretty, I had also never seen a nail polish like it. I was perusing the Illamasqua counter in Selfridges trying to decide whether to purchase this one or "Scarce" I decided on "Speckle" as I tend to wear more purple shades. I now really wish I had bought "Scarce" as well as "Speckle" and also "Mottle" but I don't think my bank balance would appreciate it! I usually purchase drugstore nail polishes so this was my first "higher end" nail purchase! I found that the formula of this was a lot nicer than many of my drugstore polishes and it went on evenly without streak and I didn't need many coats of this before I was happy with the result! The polish reminds me of mini eggs when applied which I love and I have got countless compliments and people asking me what nail polish it is! Please excuse my short nails, they are not in the best condition at the moment! But as you can see the colour looks exactly as it does in the bottle and the polish lasted well even without a top coat! I am thoroughly impressed with this nail polish and would happily purchase more from Illamasqua! This was the first item I have tried from Illamasqua and I am impressed, I have already made a wishlist of what I am planning to buy next!


Have you tried any Illamasqua nail polishes?

  5. This polish looks lovely but I can't justify spending £14.50 on a nail polish when there are so many good high street brands.
