Illamasqua - Velocity

Woohoooo!  I appear to have resolved the lighting issues that have been plaguing me for a couple of weeks.  The photos are back to being crisp and clear.  Once again, thanks for your patience and support!

Illamasqua's Velocity is from the Dystopia Collection.  This is a stunning lavender purple that just reminds me of spring. And weddings.  What an amazing wedding colour this would be.

Formula-wise, Illamasqua lacquers are up there with Chanel and Rescue Beauty Lounge.  I could have easily gotten away with one coat for this swatch (I only did a second because I smooched up my ring finger).

It dried reasonably quickly and I didn't need a topcoat to get the shine that I covet.  All up, a glorious lacquer that I suspect will get alot of wear from me.

I'll be trialling the other lacquer from Dystopia, Obsess, as part of my Valentines Day manicures next week.  I can't wait to see if it performs as well as Velocity.

So ladies, what do you think?  Are you feeling Velocity?  How do you find Illamasqua's lacquers?
