Readers Choice! Illamasqua Phallic!

Last week you voted on which one of my Illamasqua polishes you would like to see me try first! Phallic won with 27 votes, 48% overall.

Phallic is a navy blue shimmer. It looks darker on the nail than in the bottle. The shimmer is also not as present on the nail versus the bottle. I experienced some issues with staining during clean up. I imagine when I go to take this off I will have the same problem, but worse LOL. I was also not a fan of the cap, it is a bit awkward to hold. However, the polish applied well, covered well, dried relatively quickly.

Artificial light, no flash.










You can purchase Phallic, and many other colors by visiting Illamasqua's website or Sephora's website

This is one of those colors I need for the name alone, like Essie Meet Balls.

if it's anything like my Illamasqua you can take the chunky square top off to make it easier to hold? just pull up...or is that lid the hard-to-hold part?
love this colour though :D

this is a pretty shade! however, this would have been prettier if the shimmer was seen on the nails :)

I honestly was not a fan of this polish! Stain city!! The sparkles are a let down for me as well. I couldnt even see them while at the office today! :-( Cool name but thats about it on this one!
