Illamasqua Faithful

 Hi! Happy Friday :) Today I have Illamasqua Faithful, a taupe-y brown with copper shimmer and micro flake bits (that my camera really did not pick up). Looks different in every light. I went nuts for this polish when it came out in the summer Naked Strangers collection, it's gorgeous! I feel like my Illas never get swatched for some reason which is sad because they're some of my favorites.  Formula is great, 2 easy coats.

L'Oreal Brit Invasion

 Happy Sunday! This L'Oreal is from their LE fall british collection. Couldn't resist it for some reason. At $6 a bottle for their polish I generally have no problem passing them up... there are so much better for less, or much better for a bit more. I lovee HE polishes, but $6 for a L'Oreal really pisses me off for some reason. I am getting a little worked up now.. hahaha.

 It's a pretty mauvy taupe color with a strong golden shimmer. Formula and brush are terrible. The brush picks up way too much polish and it seems to immediately turn into a clumpy mess. Not fun. The color is really nice. I love the mauve and purple hints, but I wouldn't say worth it. Can anyone rec something similar with a nice formula?? I am drawing a blank on what is in this family!

@3 coats for smoothness.

Elevation Polish - The Arches at Sunset

Hi! Happy Tuesday :) Today I have my first polish from Elevation. I HAD to have this. I am really impatient with indies...but I made sure I was around for her July restock. ( I believe she stocks each month on the 7th.. her blog gives out great info on what will be available and when.) The Arches at Sunset is a brown/green duochome. Probably most definitely in the ugly pretty category, but I think it is gorgeous! Immediately a favorite. This is 3 coats.
