Illamasqua Stance swatches

Hey so I found some time to do my nails and I chose the gorgeous Stance! Oooh it's a beauty! However it is the worst to photograph, honestly it's such a rich and vibrant colour in real life but on camera it appears duller and less juicy but at least it looks purple hahah



This picture leans too blue, the actual colour is a lot warmer, I would have shopped it buuut I don't have photoshop :( I know I know I'm studying photography and I don't own photoshop! It's just too expensive.
I love this colour so much!  It's a very me colour ;). I was a little worried as it's a jelly and so I thought there'd be horrible VNL especilly with the length of my nails but there isn't any! How can this be? I'm so glad obviously but I don't know how they made a juicy polish with no VNL.

Two coats were enough, the first coat was streaky and patchy so I thought I'd have to do three but no just two :D. The formula was lovely, at first I had a few cuticle floods but once I got used to the polish I had no more problems. I love this as well as it doesn't cling to my ridges wooohoo.

I'm hoping to do some nail art on top with my new brushes but that depends if I get inspired or not ;)

Have a good weekend everyone!

OMG I love your hand poses with the bottles!! So elegant and I'm totally jealous. I wish some polishes weren't so hard to photograph. :/

I know I've said this before but your nails are amazing. In my opinion most people can't get away with long nails like this. Most people nails start growing in strange shapes and looking uneven. Anyways if that's how it looks on camera I can only imagine how beautiful the colour looks in person!

This looks like the polish Alley Cat I just posted by Betsey Johnson. I like the glossy look to yours.
