Raindrops has been on my beauty radar for what feels like forever, so when I saw it stocked in the Illamasqua sale, I just had to nab it. It's a stunning colour, very much a rainy storm cloud in a bottle and is the perfect shade as we transfer from Winter to Spring.
The colour is a sheer light grey-blue with a jelly like finish, but what really makes this colour special is the flecks of silver running throughout. It creates a tiny thunderstorm on your finger nails, and I'm not ashamed to say that I sat waving my hands in front of me to catch the soft, subtle shimmer when I first wore it.
Nail Varnish: Raindrops by Illamasqua
Star Ring: Tatty Devine
The formula for Raindrops is really great. It's a shade which can be built up depending on how sheer or solid you want the final finish. These photos show three coats over a clear base coat which provided a really dense colour which took a good three days before the tips started to chip away. I'm utterly in love with it, and can't wait to explore more of Illamasqua's more unique polishes.
Until next time,

What a beautiful colour...I have never tried an illamasqua nail polish (or anything for that matter) I suppose I love my budget brands! :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's so stunning! It's worth following their Twitter as they frequently have sales, and they are AMAZING! They have three categories with 50, 60 and 70% off which is when I then stock up. Their white eye-liner is probably my "if I could only wear one item" product. :) x
DeleteStunning colour. I've been so in love with grei tones this winter. X x
ReplyDeleteGrey I meant 😉
DeleteMe too - I've found myself with a lot of grey and pastel pinks. Must be dreaming of Spring. :) x
