Illamasqua's Phallic* is a gorgeous blue shimmer. The blue is wonderfully dark and romantic, whilst the shimmer (which is a light blue, how inspired) sits almost suspended in the lacquer. Definitely click for a larger version.
Formula wise, this is even better than the other Illamasquas I've tried. I literally couldn't bugger up the application with this. It just flows onto the nail and sits perfectly.
As for the name, well I don't really want to think about the thought process behind this. But it oddly fits. And it's oh so Illamasqua to have a controversial name.
I can't imagine calling this anything else. And I can't imagine I would be able to tell my boss - who is fascinated with my love of lacquer - the real name of this, lest I be accused of harassment.
So, what do you think? Is this a lacquer you might consider for Valentine's?
