Illamasqua Faithful

Hey everyone!  Today I have a quick and fun mani featuring Illamasqua's Faithful from their Naked Strangers collection.  It's one of three nail lacquers in this collection and the last of my first Illamasqua haul.  After trying them?  I. Want. More.  I absolutely loved them.  I am really lemming the other two colors from this collection, but I'm trying to be good!  Let's take a look at Faithful now so I don't go shop!

I decided to wear this with some glitter because I was super excited that my test bottle of brown glitters was doing well after a couple weeks.  I crammed some in a little suspension base and had this.

Here's Faithful on its own.  This polish is a beautiful dark copper shimmer that looks very warm and creamy. It only took two very even and easy coats to become opaque.  The formula was just excellent.  I love this color against my skin tone too.

Guh, okay, I may have to go shopping anyway!

I debated adding bar glitter to the bottle, but decided to try it without it first.  I've been having a love/hate relationship with bar glitter lately.  I like the way it looks, but getting it to lay perfectly flat?  Impossible!  A corner will poke up and no amount of top coat will hold it down!  So I didn't add bar glitter to this until after I tried it.

It's a nice rich color of brown glitter and I think it complements Faithful well.  It looks dark most of the time but then it will flash a golden orange.  It's super pretty!

I've been pretty busy packing up to move to California for the rest of the summer, but I've got a couple more posts before I go!

Thanks for reading!
