Illamasqua Jo’Mina Nail Varnish Swatches
This, my friends, is Illamasqua Jo’Mina.
Bright lavender creme. Two coats. Luscious. Creamy. Shiny. Vivid. Spectacular.
I only have two questions for you.
Jo’Mina
Why did I not own this until now?
Jo’Mina (with Milani Twinkle on top)
And why did I then ruin it by putting on the first glittery polish I saw?
That is all.

Do you like this product?
Oh my, I love purples and I might need to own this soon.

Lovely! I frequently feel the need to put glitter over an already perfect polish.

Haha, same here!
Putting glitter is a great way to freshen up a manicure, too.

Sometimes cremes feel so boring to me. So I like to put a layer of glitter on as well & then instantly regret it! Haha
Lovely purple though…
I don’t think you ruined it. But then i love love love glitter – it’s just that great of a color it enhanced the glitter. but that’s just me.
Definitely gorgeous on it’s own. I have to ask tho, is there anything else out there that looks like it? (It doesn’t seem all that unique to me, but I might be very, terribly wrong.)

Love this shade so much, I heard a lot about the Illamasqua´s creme and this is the best, love purple. What about the formula? I don´t really like it with all the glittery stuff, better on it´s own fot this time

…aaaand I’m going to sephora.com….
Lol! I did the same thing, Lesley. Such a beautiful color!
Lovely color… think I would have put China Glaze Fairy Dust over the top instead…

Well, I just bought the color Poke now it looks like I’ll have to go back for this one. I love their nail polishes! pigmented and easy to apply. I’ve had mine on since tuesday and had no chipping and minimal wear.
My answer to both questions is I honestly have no idea. I also would like to know why I don’t own it. It’s GORGEOUS!!
Idk why I don’t own this either. I tried it on at Sephora once and somehow managed to summon the will power to pass on it. It looks so springy though that I might need it now.
What a beautiful lacquer! I have a strong feeling that this will be my next Illamasqua purchase. I’d considered it before, but thought I must have something similar already because I have an abundance of purple polishes… Maybe Zoya Perrie is similar? Either way, this is lovely. Want it.

This has always been my favorite color….applies like a dream and beautiful for spring
Ah, my favorite nail polish of all time! It’s SO special!
Oh– my. I just got this on an impulse. So glad that I did now that I see your beautiful swatches.
Oh no… I just recently got Faux Pas and have fallen in love with Illamasqua. I’m a sucker for square bottles and wonderful formulas. This post did not help.

I love the glitter on top but I’m a sicko glitter freak! Ha!

I love this, it is the only purple that I like and wear. There is one glittery polish that is amazing over this and it is Sephora’s Sugar Plum Fairies Gone Wild. The combination is brilliant!
Best. Lilac. Ever.

Gorgeous shade. I’ve done the same thing, throwing on a glitter. I’ll put this on my list.
LOL, you crack me up, but I can’t talk because I have the exact same glitter problem. It always seems like such a good idea at the time. Why have I never tried this brand?! I LOVE the color.

Ok. So that is a gorgeous gorgeous lilac. I imagine it’d be really flattering on a lot of people…

This color is gorgeous! I’m so in love with purple in general especially a more pastel-y version for Spring. I just found your blog PS and have spent the past half hour rumaging through it, love finding quality posts, keep up the great work

Ok, I’m in love with this color! I’m buying 2….one for my nail polish loving daughter

Cassy´s last post…China Glaze Sweet Hook
I’m wearing this shade right now! I love it to pieces. I got given 7 gorgeous colours and 1 silver glitter Illamasqua polishes and I adore every single one of them.
I think the glitter would have worked beautifully as a gradient on each nail.
oooooohhhh , that is really beautiful!
