day one hundred and twenty one, illamasqua poke

now. i said i found a purple that re-ignited my purple love...and here it IS! illamasqua, poke. THE MOST AMAZING PURPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! seriously. it's SO awesome i had to take a video to showcase the rainbow shimmer effect beacuse i couldn't even begin to capture it with just images. but just ignore the whirring noise in the video as it is of course, shot in my bathroom with the amazing light...but non-turn-off-able steam/vent/fan/thing.

this polish actually reminds me of RBL Scrangie. but only in a nice way, not in a copycat way at ALL. they are VERY DIFFERENT! it's mostly just the shimmer used in poke and scrangie are very similar and i've never seen this rainbow silver shimmer effect anywhere else...ever. it's a stunning purple...very bright and not dark and just...AMAZING. i can't get over how fantastic it is!!

illamasqua polishes retail for £12.50 and i know they are now available on sephora for US people but i don't know if they have all the colours. my recent 5 acquistions from illamasqua bring my collection up to about 10...which isn't that many but at £12.50 each that's £125.00! so...yeah. but SO WORTH IT. truy amazing. everyone needs to go buy this colour. go now! faster!
