Illamasqua Nomad and Whimsical Ideas by Pam I ♥ NY

Today I have for you Illamasqua Nomad with Whimsical Ideas by Pam I ♥ NY. My good friend, Ana, sent me I ♥ NY as a Christmas surprise. I was so excited and I love it so much. Thank you! Before I went to NY I actually painted my toenails with Nomad and as soon as I put it on, I thought it was a typical Statue of Liberty color and it would look great with I ♥ NY (at this point, it was on my wishlist and I was thinking about getting it eventually). So, as soon as I got it, I couldn't wait to get back to the UK and put it over Nomad!

Overall, I love this color combination. I did have a few issues with application. Nomad was kind of streaky and very unusual for an Illamasqua polish. It seems a bit thick and I don't know if that's how the formula is or if it was open for a while before I got it. Sometimes that happens and leaves the polish thick and gloopy. I ♥ NY was okay to apply but I had to fish around for the hearts, which I guess is typical for a polish like this. The hearts aren't that plentiful so I wasn't too surprised that I had to fish around for them.

Illamasqua can be purchased at Sephora or from Illamasqua. For information on how to order Whimsical Ideas by Pam, go to her Facebook page.
