WOW Illamasqua’s Launches Six Amazing Bright Rubber Nail Varnishes…
So now we are living in a competive nail industry from magnetic, caviar and velvet nails! Whatever is next? Rubber nails! Yes a rubber finish from Illamasqua.
Illamasqua introduced their limited edition Rubber Brights collection. There is six vibrant varnishes in a matte with a rubber like finish. The chip resistant shades come in the following shades—Nurture (candy apple green), Optimist (warm yellow), Aorta (scarlet red), Devotee (candy pink), Serenity (bright turquoise), and Prosperity (rich purple)—were inspired by the colour coded specialities of the dominatrix Rubber Boot Girls of 1920s Berlin. Each varnish is $14 each at Sephora online now- It’s a shame we can’t get them in the UK yet! But soon to be available in the UK soon! I can’t wait to get my hands on these :)

What I used to create this creative rainbow colourful makeup look…
*Illamasqua Skin Base in 01
*Kryolan Translucent powder
*A range of Kryolan Supra cream colours, MAC Cream colour bases and Illamasqua Cream pigment for a layered colourful bases
*All cream bases were then set with Crown Brush 88 palette matte eyeshadows to make the colours bright and vivid for photography work.
Now who needs an airbrush machine when you can create this free hand?Karla
