Good afternoon my fellow lacquered lovers! Today, I have a real treat for you! Ok, it's a real treat for me because I'm in love with these polishes and can't wait to show you! I love Illamasqua and have been patiently waiting since last Fall for a new collection and last week, the information was finally released!
Above: Promo picture for Human Fundamentalism and the new polishes, Stance and Nomad
Here is what Illamasqua has to say about the collection:
"Human Fundamentalism is an explosion of your alter ego. It’s becoming who you are and not who you’re told to be. Beauty isn’t conformity, but the fundamental human desire to express your inner self on the outside. To rise above mainstream limitations and exist in a world where individuality is received with celebration not derision, and breaking the mould is a sign of strength not instability. We stand for freedom of expression, embracing our glorious imperfections and showing the world we’re not ordinary but extraordinary, even if society refuses to accept it. We’re beyond conformity. Beyond control. Beyond hiding who we really are. We are not a religion, but the singular opposite. We are Illamasqua."
Now, without further ado, on to the polish!
Above: 2 coats of Illamasqua Nomad
Nomad is a gorgeous minty green. We've been seeing a lot of these types of shades this spring and Illamasqua does NOT disappoint with their version! I love how this is almost a pastel neon! Illamasqua describes it as a bright jade and that's pretty accurate. The formula was fantastic, opaque in 2 coats, and I just love the shade! I also love that it's slightly more blue based so it will look great on almost any skin tone! Here is how I wore it as a manicure yesterday:
This type of manicure is called a Ruffian and I did it using Nomad for the base and Illamasqua Scorn for the top! I love how this looks!
Above: 2 coats of Illamasqua Stance
Stance is described as being a fuchsia violet and that's pretty accurate! It's definitely a hot pink that has a lot of purple to it. I'm so drawn to these types of colors this year and this one is spot on. I love that it's more purple than pink but still super bright. I'm pretty sure this will be my go to pedicure color this summer! The formula was fantastic, opaque in 2 coats and just super pigmented and bright!
All in all, I LOVE this showing from Illamasqua! I wish there were more polishes in the collection, that's how much I love it! The Human Fundamentalism Collection will be released on Sephora.com on March 19th and in select stores on March 22nd! Or you can pre-order now from Illamasqua's website.
What do you think of these polishes? Any must haves? Any dupes?
