Illamasqua Spam - Toxic Nature and Throb Collection

Good evening all! I promised a post today so here I am. I have a bunch of Illamasqua swatches to share with you guys today. All are from the Throb Collection and Toxic Nature collection. I am a huge fan of Illamasqua polishes; aside from them burning a whole in my wallet, I can't get enough.



Throb Collection





Throb is a cherry red creme. 2 coats. It was opaqued in one coat but I did two to even it out. I probably have about 30 red creme polishes but it doesn't really matter to me. I really like this one. It's a red I can wear.





Load is a creamy buttery white creme. 2 coats. This happens to be my favorite one because the color is quite unique. It's not yellow enough for it to be called a pastel yellow. It reminds me a lot of butter. Not to mention it wasn't streaky and was opaque in two coats and extremely smooth.





Scorn is a black matte creme with a rubbery leather like finish. 2 coats. Pretty interesting, I like the finish.



Toxic Nature Collection





Radium is a bright yellow green with a hint of shimmer. 2 coats. A very interesting color especially when certain lights hit it; it gives a blue shimmer. I love the subtle shimmer as well.





Purity is a pale peach creme. 2 coats. Purity is the only 'calm' looking shade of the whole collection. It applied incredibly smooth as well.





Gamma is a bright orange creme. 2 coats. This one dried matte like neon but it wasn't 'neony' enough to be classified as a neon. It was just a really really bright orange creme. I like it though!





Bacterium is a taupey light brown with subtle blue shimmer. 2 coats. This is a VERY interesting color. Definitely unique on its own. I love the subtle hint of blue shimmer on certain lighting. It's such a weird color, staring at it makes me just think..





Stagnate is a purple grey brown creme. 2 coats. I think it's the perfect name for it. Color suits it well.



Well there you have it. Can you imagine the amount of money I spent on these polishes? I shake my head every time I think about it. But I feel that it's quite worth it. Illamasqua polishes are extremely smooth and applies so well that's worth every penny. Some of the colors they produce is so unique where you don't see much of it. Take Bacterium for example, I was in awe of that color. The formula for these were all excellent with zero complaints.



What do you think of these two collections?
