For the longest time Illamasqua Fern was practically unobtainable as it had been discontinued. But some "lost stock" was found in the UK by a friend and now I have my grubby paws on it! Thanks Kim!
Fern is a great vibrant, bright blue, slightly lighter than a cobalt, full of silver microglitter (or is it shimmer? flecks?) Formula and application were perfect and I had no issues. Two coats for opacity. Very smooth, creamy application. Shown in all photos with 2 coats of color and no top coat.
Many have questioned WHY
Fern is blue and not green. Recently on Facebook, Illamasqua answered the question. They had an employee whose favorite color was this exact shade of blue. Her name was Fern. Mystery solved!
First up Illamasqua Fern alone...

But she won't be needing it right now - she's all tuckered out from chasing the Frisbee and playing in her doggie pool...
After I wore it alone, I decided to extend the mani by adding Lynnderella I Don't Mean Rhinestones...

Illamasqua polishes are available from Sephora here in the US for $14.00 (limited colors) and the full line is available in various locations throughout the UK, including at Illamasqua.com, for £13.50. However, this one is discontinued. Maybe they'll bring it back?
Lynnderella polishes are only available now through the eBay seller Lynnderella-Lynnderella and most of the "current" collection polishes retail for $20.

ReplyDeletePersonally I wouldn't cover it with so much glitter. It looses all it's gorgeous look :-(

Gorgeous polishes! I wish I could get IDMR as teal is my favorite color, but they're so hard to get. :(

ReplyDeleteFinding lost Illamasqua stock would be like finding the Holy Grail, I love their polishes. I got Charisma today, before the launch, and it's so beautiful. As is Twinkle! I'm a new reader from the U.K, love the blog!
