I don't know about you but the very first thing I thought when I saw the latest Illamasqua collection, Imperfection, is that they had (also) joined the indie nail polish trend. Truth be told, I was unsure about them but let's give them a closer look, shall we?
Scarce
pastel pink scattered with black glitters. 2 coats plus topcoat.
Speckle
pastel lilac scattered with black glitters. 2 coats plus topcoat.
Freckle
light taupe scattered with black glitters. 2 coats plus topcoat.
Formula was surprisingly manageable on all of these. I thought they would either be too thick or sheer but they proved to be pigmented and relatively easy to work with, true 2 coaters.
I honestly didn't think I would love this collection but once on my nails, I kind of did! The only one I'm not completely sold on is Freckle but that's a matter of skin tone and personal taste. I do need the other 2 now LOL
What do you think about these? Did you grab any already?
The Illamasqua Imperfection (limited edition) is already available on illamasqua.com and worldwide distributors.
I was also unsure of this collection when they got out. Now, every time I see more swatches I regret it and want them lol. Nice swatches :) Kisses,

I really like this collection, especially Freckle, but they are too expensive for me :(

ReplyDeleteFreckle was the one I liked the most because it's different! :) Gorgeous swatches, as always. Thx!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them... they are so different from my all polishes...
ReplyDeleteI love the egg promo photo! How Fun! I think Scarce would be my favorite of the ones seen here :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting Freckle for awhile now- so pretty!
ReplyDeleteFreckle is my favourite from these, but I don't like any of them enough to buy them - I think all the black microglitter spoils the look.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy enough layering WnW Tangled in My Web through sheer polishes to achieve this effect!
The purple is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute.
ReplyDeletethe last one is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLet me just say that I absolutely love these, but I've found a better solutions imo. I purchased Nubar Black Polka Dot and can use it with any color a choose for the same, if not better effect. I have it on currently with SpaRitual's Energy (a Tiffany blue kind of color), which is a crelly polish and did a jelly sandwich using Nubar BPD. Fantastic! Now I don't have to buy all of the Illamasqua polishes, but still get my Robin's egg effect that I LOOOOOVVVEEE!! Anyway, thought I'd share. LOVE your blog so much! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI found a similar product/dupe! Check out Bohemian Summer at Urban Outfitter in store. Great buy at $5 or 2 for $8.
