Hello lovelies,

A lovely package from Illamasqua was waiting for me when I came back home from holiday. This month is all about the new Generation Q collection available now!

"Generation Q is a clear message to everybody, everywhere that beauty is not young, old, black, white, male or female, but anything, everything and everyone."(Illamasqua)

Charisma - deep raspberry pink with subtle shimmer. This shade is really strange - kinda dusty yet so interesting! It applied really easily and the pigmentation was great too. I'm wearing two coats which were enough for a perfect coverage. Polish dries fast and levelled itself out nicely. I've finished off with a coat of topcoat.

Creator - black creme with rectangular and square silver glitter. This shade has also great pigmentation, it's almost one-coater. I've still applied two coats and topcoat because this polish dries a bit gritty. I did not have any problems with application but the removing is difficult because of the glitter.

Precision Ink in Wisdom - antiqued gold. Illamasqua says: "Precision Ink's fine tip allows for defined application. Long-lasting and waterproof it's perfect for use anywhere on the face and body to bring out your bold side. You can even use it as an nail art pen" - I'll be sure to try the nail art with it! Otherwise it applied really easily and stayed in place for hours. It's a really nice eyeliner :)

Hello lovelies,

I finally got my paws on the rare OPI Black Spotted and...I am sooo dissapointed :( It was difficult to work with, I don't like the effect in real life (yes I've tried over different colours) and is crackles. The crackles in the black areas really got to me. I just couldn't stand them!

It was also difficult to remove as it's not a typical nail polish formula. The same with clean up - it was hard to do a cleanup, it just wouldn't dissintegrate for a long time even with acetone.

I've applied one thin coat of OPI Black Spotted over Zoya Rekha and finished with Seche Vite topcoat.

What is your experience with Black Spotted? Good or bad?
