Illamasqua Speckled Nail Enamel


I mentioned earlier on my Twitter (which you can stalk here) and my Instagram (which you can stalk here) that I had new PR gifts to review, and I revealed in my earlier Illamasqua Powder Blusher review (which you can read here) that it was a few Illamasqua products! Aside from the blusher, I also received a very beautiful Speckled Nail Enamel from their I'mPerfection range! I was obviously very excited, as the Speckled range has had a lot of interest surrounding it's uniqueness!


The polish I received was "Scarce," a gorgeous pink speckled polish.


As you can see, the "speckled" effect is just black glitter, yet it is not sparkly, which gives it a truly unique finish!

Swatchy, swatchy!



One layer, no top coat

With just one coat, the effect is very beautiful. It gives a more natural look, especially with the pink. But, I couldn't resist taking Illamasqua's advice and adding another layer for intensity.


Two layers, no top coat

As you can see, two coats certainly bring the effect out in full force, and it looks amazing! I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

The quality of the polishes is also amazing. I've had the polish on since Monday, and since have had only minor wearing around the edges, no major chipping whatsoever! Also, the colour is so close to my skin that even though there is minor wearing, you cannot see it at all!

I'm very impressed with these polishes, and will definitely be heading to my local Illamasqua store to buy the other colours - that is as soon as my spending ban is over! The Speckled range has a really nice selection of colours also, including Freckle (neutral), Mottle (green), Fragile (blue), and Speckle (purple).

Check out the Illamasqua page (here) for amazing swatches of all the colours!

You can buy these babies from Myer here, for only $22.50!
(On the Illamasqua website, they cost £14.50, which roughly exchanges to about $21.15AU, so we're certainly not paying more than we have to!)

Have you tried the Illamasqua Speckled Polishes yet? If so, how did you find them?
