My Illamasqua nail polish collection
Happy Easter Monday, everyone! I hope you are having a pleasant break from work. Here’s a little Bank Holiday treat for you – I took these photos a while ago but this is the first chance I have had to upload them. So, without further ado, some swatches of my Illamasqua nail varnish collection. They do…

Illamasqua Jo’Mina
Running a blog can be a pesky thing. Aside from keeping on top of posts, swatches, taking decent photographs and all the rest of it, there’s the admin side of things to think about as well. Sheenie and I have been quite happily pleased with WordPress and generally have no cause for complaint, unlike the…

Twitter enablement
(this article was originally a guest post I did for Lauren Loves in August 2011) I’ve been thinking for a while about writing a post about Twitter enablement. It is an interesting phenomenon – a little online space where bloggers and friends get together to basically egg each other on to buy things (or so it feels!).…

Illamasqua Snap
Every time I use an Illamasqua product, I always wonder where the name c0mes from, and think I must ask them! “Snap” makes me think of…. those crisps you could buy in the 80s that were tomato flavoured and had a crocodile on the packet…..or the “Bend & Snap” from Legally Blonde (perhaps not in…

My festive manicure
A short post today to show you my festive nails. Really pleased with how these turned out. Yes, they are a blatant rip-off of a look I saw here on Daily Nail ages ago, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps, covered with Illamasqua Scorn, and topcoat.I was rather…

Illamasqua Theatre of The Nameless (part 2)
Cast your minds back to a couple of months ago, where Sheenie and I brought you some images and swatches of Illamasqua’s new Theatre of the Nameless collection. Well, here we have something of a wrap-up post of some of the other items in the collection that we have enjoyed playing with over the past…

Illamasqua Lament
Let me tell you a story. When I first started this blog, I had zero interest in bright colours, pinks or reds. I remember standing at the Illamasqua concession in Selfridges with London MakeUp Girl as one of the sales assistants desperately tried to convince me to buy Lament. It just wasn’t happening and according to…

Illamasqua Obsess
OK, so this isn’t the first time you’ve seen this polish here, but I figure Sheenie and I have picked up a fair few new readers in the last 18months or so (hi!) and it would be a crying shame not to show this to you again. Even if I’ve only got one new photo…

Illamasqua Freak
At long last, Illamasqua’s first fragrance has arrived. Fans of the brand have been asking about a potential perfume release for years now, and let me tell you, Freak is definitely worth the wait. According to Illamasqua, “Freak is a concoction of dangerously exotic unconventional flowers, unashamedly blended together to celebrate the night.” The top…
