Illamasqua Nomad is an interesting hybrid of pistachio green and jade. It's a color for which I couldn't even begin to think of a dupe. Does this mean I just don't own enough greens? *plots to go shopping* Anyway, Nomad is a gorgeous creme!



The formula on this is...bearable. A little thick and streaky, a third coat was needed to even things out. The wear was great! My mani of 1 coat of Butter London Nail Foundation, 3 coats of Nomad, and 1 coat of Butter London Hardwear lasted 4 days without a chip or noticeable tipwear. Not too shabby.



Despite the less than perfect formula, I would still put this in the must-have category.



Illamasqua Nomad retails for £13.50 at Illamasqua and $14 at Sephora.

It is common knowledge that Emilio Pucci is the master of bold, bright prints, which is why I was so ecstatic when I learned of his collaboration with Guerlain for their Summer Terra Azzurra collection.



I mean...look at this palette!






Swatches after the jump!

Swatched with a finger, no primer, natural lighting

Guerlain Capri contains an iridescent white gold, a satin medium pink, a shimmery coral, and a satin cool dark brown. The colors in this palette just scream Summer, don't you think?



All of the shadows are wonderfully pigmented and have a smooth, blendable texture. They are also long-lasting. I didn't notice much fading at all after about ten hours of wear over my NARS primer.








I can definitely see this becoming my go-to Summer palette!






Guerlain Capri is $59 retail and is available for purchase at Sephora.com

YSL Black Tulip is one of my favorite purples. It's a rich, vibrant aubergine creme. It's also a favorite of mine because the formula is out of this world. It applies like butter and self-levels like no other. Seriously, it's amazing.



Also, I added Finger Paints Twisted as an accent.

Doing a little throwback with these swatches from Summer 2011. If you haven't heard of Dr.'s Remedy yet, check out their Facebook page for information about what makes them doctor approved.

Nurture Nude Pink is a warm pinky beige with pink shimmer. It reminds me of Barielle Pink Sherbet (no, they're not dupes), which is an all-time favorite of mine. I love shades like these. They are so easy to wear.

2 coats

Bold Baby Blue is a bright blue metallic foil. Metallics and I don't often get along, but the color makes the finish a little more bearable.

1 coat

Lovely Lavender is a dustry lavender creme. Holy pigmented, Batman! Beautifiul color and it's a one-coater?! Double winning.

2 coats

Tranquil Tangerine is a not so tranquil golden orange metallic. Colors like this just don't look good on me. I was very angry at NARS for releasing a similar color last year. Clearly, only colors that suit me should be available for purchase (just kidding!).

2 coats

Most golds look absolutely terrible on me, but Glee Gold is definitely an exception. It's a gorgeous neutral gold that is wearable despite the metallic finish. Definitely my favorite from the collection, which is so weird for me to say!





The formula on these was great. They all applied smoothly and easily. Also, the shades are definitely more unique than what I've experienced from them in the past.



Dr.'s Remedy polishes retail for $17 and are available for purchase on their website.
