Illamasqua releases Sephora exclusives stateside!

Published August 15, 2012

As you may possibly know, I adore Illamasqua and everything they stand for. Their colors are stunning and their collections innovative. So it is no surprise that I like this set of nail polishes with a rubber-like finish they’ve come out with. There are 6 new colors and 4 from a previous collection that are now being sold via the American Sephora site as online exclusives. That means it’s not easy to obtain these colors for everyone outside the USA, which makes me a bit sad, but what can you do, right?

Like I already wrote, 4 colors aren’t new. Faux Pas, Kink, Taint and Vice are all part of the Theatre of the Nameless collection that they released a while ago. I own both Vice and Taint from this collection and they are absolutely beautiful. The finish sits in between gloss and matte and the polish stays on for a long time without any chipping, which can often be a problem when they have a different finish. The other six colors listed alongside these four colors below are all brand new.

Let’s take a look at them all now, shall we?

Aorta *- scarlet red
Devotee *- candy pink
Faux Pas – blue violet
Kink – bottle green
Nurture* – vivid green
Optimist *- warm yellow
Prosperity *- rich purple
Serenity *- bright turquoise
Taint – stone brown
Vice – deep cerise

*- Are said to be web exclusive colors but I have seen pictures of these in the store, so I am not sure what is going on there…

And this is the description of the colors on the Sephora site:

What it is:
A highly pigmented matte nail varnish with an innovative rubber-like finish.

What it does:
Go beyond ordinary nails with this chip-resistant rubber-finish nail color that contains the finest high-grade color suspension materials for creating a fast and buildable waxy rubber finish.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

Man I so want that Prosperity one, I mean you can’t ever go wrong with a royal purple! And I also would love to complete my Theatre of the Nameless set with the other two polishes I’m still missing. Hopefully someday…
