ABC Challenge: G is for Illamasqua Glitterati

Hi everyone! I'm back again with the ABC challenge and this week we are on letter G! So of course, since my default is glitter, I had to pick a glitter polish. I've been waiting to try this one and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you
Illamasqua Glitterati is a plum/ raspberry jelly with holo and silver (I think) hex glitter. The formula on this was pretty great and it only needed one coat of top coat to be smooth. I really enjoyed wearing this. I loved how it almost had the jelly sandwich look without the work. :) My only complaint is I wish the holo were a bit more apparent. I felt like you couldn't see it at all sometimes because oftthe jelly base. Other than that I really loved it. I am slowly falling in love with Illamasqua and will definitely be purchasing more of their polishes! The photo above is most color accurate. 


Slightly blurry to show off the holo!  

And of course a bottle shot.  

What are your thoughts on this? And what other Illamasqua nail polish shades do you ladies recommend?

Be sure to check out all the lovelies doing this challenge!

    Wow in fact I think it's the time I've liked Glitterati the most! I had never especially liked it before, but your pictures make it really really interesting :D

    Ok. I want to cry! I have an obsession for Glitterati. I didn't buy the duo set because I have a couple of dupe for Viridian. When Illamasqua did a huge sale on its website and this duo was sold for only 15£, I was in no buy policy and I couldn't buy it.
    Hope that they will sold Glitterati as a single polish in the future.

    I had bad experience with Illamasqua, but I know most people are really happy with their formulas. This one is gorg though!

    Elle:

    my comment disappeared. I apologize if it's now about to appear twice. Just wanted to wish you a happy weekend and to say that your Glitterati mani is lovely, and has inspired me get on the stick and finally get myself one of those Illamasquas.

    Thank you, darlin'!
