NOTW: Facet

Hello darlings! Today I have a manicure with Illamasqua's Facet for you. If you've seen my birthday haul then you know I bought 3 new Illamasqua nail polishes. Including Baptiste I now have 4 in total and I think I might have to get a few more (Veridian and Persied are high on the wishlist). :)

L to R: Fire Rose, Trilliant and Facet

Facet is a stunning shade - it's a dark taupe (it has some grey as well as some brown in it) with gold/bronze glitter running trough it. It's a very unique shade and that's what I love in Illamasqua's nail polishes - they seem to come up with some really unique shades which is quite a hard thing to do these days. :) The formula is fantastic - it's almost fully opaque with one coat but as always I opted for two. It's also pretty easy to remove, even though it has glitter in it, you don't have to struggle too much. Staying power is awesome - I used Ciate's Speed coat on top and it lasted a week (it started chipping on one or two nails on my right hand, but I was doing some serious work and cleaning around the flat, so that's totally understandable). :)
