Illamasqua Phallic (Finally)

I actually received this the end of last week (or the week before- can't remember). Anyway here are my swatches of the beautiful Phallic! (2 coats)

It was very hard to capture the sparkley glitterness. And I didn't realize how dark the color is in normal lighting. A lot of people asked if I was wearing black.

It's so shiny that it's hard to capture the true glitteriness of it. I think that attributes to the SH Mega Shine topcoat I used. Below is the line up of what I used.

This is a first for me to use these two together. I had heard that SH Nail Quencher Basecoat was awesome and SH Mega Shine said that it would make my nail polish lasy up to 10 days and that it dried quickly so I gave it a shot too.

On the second day I applied an additional coat of Phallic because there was a lot of shrinkage. Unfortunately this was the 3rd day.

I couldn't believe it! Has anyone tried this combo (SH NQ + SH MS)?

Yah! I Finally Got It!

Remember the post I did ranting about how I missed Phallic Illamasqua nail polish? Well, I finally ordered it!

Let's take a look back at it to marvel in it's beauty.

And I got Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance because my Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin is almost gone.

Has anyone tried this? I heard it was good for oily eyelids. Any experience with that?

Have you ordered your Illamasqua from Sephora yet?

Just Missed Illamasqua Phallic by 30 Minutes!

UGH!! I am sooo mad! Soo mad that I am pised! With 1 s instead of 2! (Reference from The Sweetest Thing)

Granted I am at work and I shouldn't be filling my bag with Illamasqua nail polish that equals $50 for free shipping, but I can help myself. Phallic is beautiful:
