Illamasqua Nail Varnish Taint Review, NOTD

What the Company claims: Leave your mark with bold, rich, vibrant colours. Hardwearing and chip-resistant with individual finishes from matt to high gloss. Apply two coats for intensity and use with Illamasqua Nail Base Coat and Illamasqua Nail Top Coat for the perfect finish. Talk with your hands and make a statement.

Tips
For application, try the 3 line technique: First wipe off the brush at the bottleneck of the nail varnish bottle; the brush must be covered evenly with product and must not drip. The first line of nail varnish is applied in the middle of the nail, from the cuticle to the nail top, in a long, soft line. The second line goes on one side of the nail and the third line on the other side. This guarantees even distribution of the shade. Additional layers may be applied to suit coverage desired.

The nail varnishes in the Theatre of the Nameless collection have rubber finish. Taint is a stone brown shade. Other shades are:

Faux Pas- Blue Violet
Vice- Deep Cerise
Kink- Bottle Green

All four shades are quite pretty..and the rubber finish gives a totally unique matte kinda effect to it.

Pros:

1. Love the rubber finish.
2. I liked all the four colors in this collection.
3. Stays long without chipping.
3. Just 2 coats give that desired dark color.
4. I liked the square packaging..a little similar to Chanel nail varnishes.
5. 15ml would last quite long.
6. Formula is nice..not too thick.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Not available here.
3. Takes a long time to dry !

Overall quite love these nail varnishes.

Rating:

Quality: 5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: May be..I liked these but ya these are quite expensive as nail varnishes.
