Illamasqua had a contest awhile back where people could submit their “dream” nail varnish color to them for a chance to have their color created by the company. Over 6,000 people entered the competition and today I have two of the three winning colors.

The colors that were posted in the press release did not really match the actual nail colors in real life, which was a little disappointing. The one I *really* wanted to see in person, Raindrops (a light blue/grey jelly with silver glitter) I didn’t actually get for review here, so I might be purchasing that one soon, since it looks amazing in swatches I have seen.

The formula was pretty good for these, but not perfect. Read on.

Yep, it’s Tuesday. My second least favorite day of the week next to Monday.

The much anticipated Pastels from Illamasqua for spring 2010 are here ladies & gents! I have two of the four to show you today.

Can I just say, I was worried about the formula. Like really worried. I thought for sure these were going to be super thick and streaky and hard to apply, like most pastels are. I was SO wrong! I kid you not when I say these applied like any of the most perfect polishes I have ever used, pastel color be damned! Another positive is they were totally opaque in just two coats! Peep ‘em!

Caress

Caress is a pale baby blue color. First off I must say I love this color, it’s one of my favorite kinds of blues. And secondly, I don’t have any other pastel color like it, so it’s unique as well!
