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.
