Hello nail polish addicts :) I have something very exciting for you today. The latest three Illamasqua shades from the brand new Throb Collection! Now you might think this will be boring...a red, white and black but wait for the swatches, this is much more.
Here is what Illamasqua says about the collection: "Bold blood reds lead the way for our brand new, super dramatic Throb Collection, a quintet of never before seen colours with undeniable impact and passion."
The swatches are all without a base or top coat and are in natural daylight (no sun or lightbox).
LOAD
First is Load which looked white to me from the promo pictures. It is not. It is creamy and looks more ivory to me. I have nothing like this, I have just plain whites. The formula was great, not streaky and covered in 2 - 3 coats. I did three for the picture.
THROB
A red? Another creme red? Do you think it is boring? You might but I don´t. This polish is AMAZING in every single way. I absolutely love the color, the color of blood. I thought I would do a comparison but I didn´t find anything in my collection of reds that would be close enough. Still if you have an idea, let me know I will be happy to compare. The other great thing about this one is the formula and coverage. What you see on the picture is one coat! I love this polish so much.
SCORN
I already showed you this one here but it belongs in this collection so I swatched it again. Same as the others, might look boring in the bottle but it is unique. It has a velvety matte finish which I love. This is two coats.
So what are my thoughts about this collection? I love it. Seriously. Illamasqua can make colors that have been made a milion times unique. I can´t wait to wear Throb as a full mani, such a beautiful red.
This collection is for Valentines day. What do you think of it? I also made a video of these three, will post it soon.
The collection is already available online here. The polishes cost £13.50.

na první pohled se mi scorn líbil, ale teď musím říct, že vypadá úplně stejně jako třeba orly matte vinyl po pár dnech nošení. přijde mi to takové nedodělané.
ReplyDeletethose are some NICE shades! thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteI will absolutely die if I don't get my hands on Load. Its so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good!
ReplyDeleteI love this collection! Specially because I have been obsessed with red lipstick lately!
ReplyDeleteAnd hahah Load, omg... I need that polish. LOL!
Does Load have a slight bit of a yellow-ish/greeny hue to it or is it my monitor?
ReplyDeleteLoad...appropriate that it's ivory actually.
ReplyDeleteI need Scorn. It's gorgeous! Heck, I'd be happy with ANY Illamasqua! :) None in my collection yet.
Your photos are always so nice. Thanks for the swatches!

ReplyDeleteMarcipánka: mě se právě líbí, že je to něco jiného :) matné laky mám, ale ne takový. A já většinou měním lak každý den :)
ReplyDeleteSarah B.: me too! I love red lipstick :) will wear it with Throb.
Jennifer: I don´t see green but a hint of yellow yes. It is a creamy ivory color :)
Thank you! Makes me want to pass... Although it looks *beautiful* on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the amazing swatches (BTW: you have perfect nails!), I was hesitating to order Load as I thought it might be streaky, but now I know that there's nothing to be afraid of :-D
ReplyDeleteThe ivory one is gorgeous! That one really stands out IMO.
ReplyDeleteAll three of them are really pretty but the ivory one looks amazing :D
ReplyDeleteI badly want Load.
ReplyDeleteLoad is just absolutely gorgeous! And I think much more wearable than a straight up white :).
ReplyDeleteAwesome! How about a comp of Throb with Essie Limited Addiction?
ReplyDeleteTak když jsem viděla ten první obrázek, tak si říkám ten rádoby-bílej vypadá luxusně, ale nalakovanej už se mi nelíbí :D:D Nevím proč :D Ale ta červená vypadá hezky a doma určitě nic podobného nemám. No a Scorn? Scorn je zkrátka miláček! :D
ReplyDeleteTen bílý a černý jsou nádherné!
ReplyDeleteLoad is really unique, I love that! Great swatches =)
ReplyDeleteI don't know the brand...
ReplyDeletebut the red one is gorgeous!!
and your nails 2...!!

ReplyDeleteThese are three lovely polishes. I actually like Load. I'm not crazy about white polish. I like this ivory. Looks really pretty. Throb is gorgeous. Love red polish. Scorn is fantastic looking.
ReplyDeleteSimple bold colors. Quite pretty that Load is!
ReplyDeleteI love that ivory and need it in my life, that's it! :D
ReplyDeleteLoad is a gorgeous unique shade and I simply love Scorn.
ReplyDeleteload is such a special shade
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, I would love the white one. And the black. And, well, the red as well.
ReplyDeleteTen thorb je kráááááááááááááásnýýýýýýýýýýýýýýýýý.
ReplyDeleteTy ostatní dva jsou zajímavé, ale červená je červená.
Am I the only one who thinks this collection is all about sex?
ReplyDeleteLoad...it just had to be white didn't it? ;) I love it however.
ReplyDeletei like the ivory.
