On a spur of the moment trip to TK Maxx a few days ago, I happened to spot these two Illamasqua nail varnishes in a set in the reduced beauty section for £5. I couldn't believe my luck because these babies usually retail at £30 for a duo set!
I absolutely love the purpley-black glittery polish and find that the glitter is noticeable but subtle, so isn't too in your face and is perfect for day or night. The teal polish is an absolutely stunning metallic shade, and this photo definitely doesn't do either polish justice. I think these will be perfect for Autumn/Winter time. I have worn both colours and find that the polish applies beautifully and one coat would be enough, although with the glittery colour I think two coats looks prettier. These didn't chip for several days and I was really impressed with their lasting appeal. I have never tried high end nail varnishes before and usually stick to Barry M or Ciate, but I will definitely be on the hunt for more Illamasqua nail varnishes in the future.
