This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is a pretty red creamy polish. It does only require one coat and the formula is thick but easy to manage. Sadly didn't last well, I noticed after 12 hours it had scuffs and a few chips. These chips only got worse with time. So wear a top coat with this. I wonder if having the two coats would have made a big difference? This is the first polish I've had on in a long time that has chipped :-| And I wasn't doing anything crazy - just out to dinner with friends having a good time!!! I also noticed slight staining upon removal - nothing major though.

amazing red shade :) I am really surprised that it is chipping so quick...
ReplyDeleteI know it really is! Me too usually Illamasqua are much better quality than this :-(
DeleteOops :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice red, but it is a shame it didn't last better. I don't own any Illamasquas yet :)
Lol I just removed it ;-)
DeleteIt really is a gorgeous red, but annoying too! Oh there are some lovely ones :-)
What a gorgeous red!! Have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is :-D
DeleteFell in love with that one, how gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why :-D
DeleteWhat a sexy red! My type of red :) I'm sorry it didn't last well, I love such shades.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! ;-) I know that's the only bad thing about it :-|
DeleteSuch a gorgeous red. Great Halloween color. ♥
ReplyDeleteI know it is! Glad you like it :-) yeah :-)
DeleteWhat a great red! I only have one Illa and it doesn't last on me, either, but the color is so great that I keep it around (rather selfishly, lol).
ReplyDeleteI've got a good few and in my experience they've been fine. Just this one :-| Hehe I know that feeling ;-)
DeleteI'm sorry it didn't last better - I have quite a few Illamasqua's and I love the wear and quality!
ReplyDeleteThrob is such a beautiful red!
I know kinda sucks :-| Yeah the others I've tried have lasted longer! :-)
DeleteI love Illamasqua polishes and I love red. That's all I have to say ;o)
ReplyDeleteKind regards,

They have some great colours :-D Yeah this is a winner colour wise :-)
DeleteI dont like much of Red but I have to say This one is just gorgeous. (:
ReplyDeleteI do like a good red and love this one! Glad you like it :-)
Deletei wish all polishes were one coaters! too bad it didn't last that well but it would be a good polish to just throw on when you're in a rush :)
ReplyDeleteHehe me too! How much easier would our life be ;-) Yeah :-)
DeleteI LOVE illamasqua. I need this in my life.
ReplyDeleteThey really have some great ones! Hehe you do :-)
DeletePerfect colour! I imagine you wearing the outfit that I made. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Lol yeah, it was those shoes they are so pretty :-D
Delete:D
Delete:-D
Deletelove that it's a one coater, sucks about quick wear though! I change my polish every night though so I would never know anyway ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah that's a plus and that the downside! Hehe yeah ;-)
DeleteSuch a pretty red cream. Too bad it chipped so quickly though. Hopefully when you try it with 2 coats and maybe top coat it'll have more durability.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a stunner. I know that sucks :-( Maybe, I did wonder how much 2 coats would have made a difference! :-)
DeleteNot nice that it chipped so quickly cause it is a STUNNING red :)
ReplyDeletexx
It really is a gorgeous red! I was quite disappointed with it though :-|
Deletethis one i could wear :D
