Illamasqua, Glitterati.

Glitterati was part of a special duo of polishes that Illamasqua released for Christmas 2012 with another polish, Viridian. I snapped it up from Sephora when it went on clearance. They have been sitting in my Untrieds rack for quite a while. I looked over and realized better late than never, right? 

This is a great holiday polish; it's very glam and sparkly (sparkly in an elegant way). It's a deep burgundy wine / red-based purple jelly with various sizes of holographic silver hex glitter. I used 2 coats and the photo looks like there are some sheer spots but in real life they were not that obvious. The formula was much better than most glitter packed jellies and I was able to apply it like a regular creme polish; no need to mess with glitter placement. Dry time was average and dried just a tad bumpy due to the glitter. I used a coat of Gelous & a coat of In A Hurry to finish it off.

The only place you can still buy this duo is on eBay. If you like it, snap it up before it disappears.
