I've had a few Illamasqua's on my wish list forever but really didn't want to spend the money on them. I have never paid any more than $20 for a polish, and I really loved that one, so it was justified. Normally tho, I have a $10 limit.
That being said, Illamasqua had a sale recently and while adding cheap items to my cart, I decided to conquer my top Lemming and add Scarab as well, seeing as I was already paying for shipping anyway!
I am totally blown away by how gorgeous this color is. It immediately made it to my Favourites list.
This was 2 coats. One coat would have been sufficient but my base coat is rough and one coat came thru scratchy. Top photos taken in sunlight. Below photos taken in shaded natural light.
Le sigh.
This is my favorite kind of red. Jewel-toned, dark red. Gorgeous!
