Paula's Wedding Shower!

We're throwing a couples's shower for the happy twosome tomorrow so I'm sporting her wedding colors, meadow green and peach, using Illamasqua Purity and MILF. Some combo, eh? Two coats of the green, three for the peach. Seche Vite over.

Quick NOTD- Illamasqua Radium

I've featured this before, it's one of my go-to-need-a-happy nail polishes. Illamasqua Radium is a brilliant apple green two coater with a subtle shimmer. Fave. Back up worthy.

Illamasqua Jewels- Rampage and Phallic!

Been swapping away to upgrade my stash a bit, and the edgy, fabulous, perfect formula Illamasquas have been high on my list. These two just begged to be put together, and except for a bit of smurfiness from the navy shimmer Phallic, I am so pleased with the result. Rampage is my favorite emerald at the moment as well. Pantone color of the year for a good reason. Two coats each,  HK Girl over.

Feeling Like Summer Won't Leave

Illamasqua is a grass green (acidic lime on the website) with a shimmer finish. Three coats were needed for opacity, but the polish flows well and the brush is perfection. After a day I dressed it up with some spots and flowers. Wearing this for three days now and it makes me happy! This shade of green is really my happy place.

God Bless America!

Happy Independence Day and birthday of my country!

Subdued Elegance

I managed a couple really great swaps recently and decided on a "palate cleanser" mani using three of them. I like alot of color, holo and glitter, but occasionally I need a break and head to beautiful creams. Illamasqua Purity is a not-pink pale peach (ever so slightly yellowish) that is like nothing I own (yeah, imagine! lol) I read the reviews talking about streaking  but was pleasantly surprised- two coats covered pretty well, and even a bit of dabbing to repair a pull didn't leave any marks- I love the color on my skin and the quality just dripped off the brush. Well done, Illamasqua! I dabbed a few Shimmer glitters around to encrust a couple nails and done! HKGirl topcoat.

My Happy Mani Color-

Illamasqua Radium is green. Electric, grass green. Temptalia describes it: chartreuse green with yellow undertones and iridescent green and chartreuse micro-shimmer. Gorgeous application, two coats, the shimmer adds that extra oooomph to my favorite nail color for spring. Accent is Utopias Hibiscus, the perfect blend of matte red, orange white green and tiny holographic assorted glitters. I've worn similar combinations before and am sure I will again.

Illamasqua Rampage

Could NOT get a good pic, please google for better ones, I have been fascinated all day with my nails- from the glossy mossy deep green to the peek of jellyishisness peeking around the edges. This is a keeper- three thin coats with HK Girl over.
