Oh, Illamasqua, you really know how to make a girl’s heart go pit-a-pat.
This darkly sparkly, blackened violet beauty is Illamasqua’s Baptiste. It’s pretty magical in almost any light — forgive me if I went a little photo-crazy.



Illamasqua is an English brand with an incredibly diverse product offering — and a penchant for color. In the U.S., you can buy a selection of their products (including Baptiste) at Sephora. Their nail polishes are $14 each.






This reminds me a lot of NARS Purple Rain (which I’m currently wearing and totally in love with)
Absolute gorgeousness on you! Your nails look amazing, Karla!
This is such a gorgeous purple polish.
Holy gorgeous Karla!!!

I love that color. I NEED that polish. I’m a sucker for pretty purples. :\

It looks very similar to Chanel Vendetta! Love the color!
Wow, I’m wearing CG’s ‘Let’s Groove’ right now and it looks exactly the same, or at least that’s the impression I get by looking at your pic.
Hi Karla,
After seeing this swatch I went to Sephora and I purchased it. I don’t have any purples in my nail polish collection but this was to pretty to pass up and got tons of compliments. thx 4 the great swatch.
This colour is so gorgeous, it’s definitely on my wishlist!
