NOTD; Faux Pas

I am seriously in some Lu-Urrrve with this polish.
Above photos were taken with 2 x thin coats and no top coat.
The colour is amazing and the formula is very easy to work with.Fast drying, but did not stretch or pull.
In one coat the polish is opaqueHowever, I am very much a 2 coat kind of girl.
They dry with a "rubber" finish.A perfect mix of Matte/Shine 
I've had three days of wear with no chips, they are slightly starting to wear around the tips, but that tends to happen with acrylics quicker than natural nails.
I also bought the "Vice" polish which I will be trying out soon.

Illamasqua Mini Haul

Yesterday was my first trip to Melbourne Myer since it's mass renovations.

It was also my first REAL Illamasqua Experiences; since IMATS was a very small taste of their products.

Suzanne - Illamasqua's Fabulicious M.U.A - helped me find the perfect shade of Skin Base and gave me some helpful tips on application.

Giantbaby wasn't as thrilled. He slept through the entire experience. Oh well, plenty of time for him to learn.

And, my mini haul!

IMATS; Mini Haul

It has now been a week since the weekend that will from here on in be referred to as "The Greatest Weekend Of My Life" and whilst I am sad that it has been an entire week, I am happy to share with you the ridiculously lousy haul I managed at IMATS Sydney 2011.
As much as I would LOVE to tell you I took home the above amazeball display of Inglot nail polishes, I did not.The Inglot counter was way to insane for me to even get close enough to read the colours of the polishes.
Instead, I bring you the following:

This PINK travel brush set from Royal and Langnickel. 

12 piece PINK brush set for less than $25 that is actually fabulous quality? Yep!

And did I mention it was PINK?

IMATS meant I got to see Illamasqua products in the flesh for the first time in my life.This made me squeal like a child. I was so happy.It was Illamasqua's first year at IMATS so the selection wasn't fantastic, but I managed to get a foundation and two nail polishes for $35.
Whilst the foundation [Light Liquid 215] is a little too light, I'm not complaining. It works really well with my Face of Australia bronzer so I am making it work.
The polish shades were very limited, in fact, by the time I found their counter there were only two left. Victory and Propaganda. Of course I bought the both of them.I will be swatching both soon, so keep an eye out.
Did you go to IMATS this year?If not, I strongly recommend hitting it up next year, not only is there discounted makeup and beauty tools, but also seminars and competitions and about 85 squealing beauty bloggers.
