Do you like gothic nails? I sure do! They look quite edgy and although I get quite a few stares whist donning such colours, I quite like it.
I get bored pretty easily hence the girly pinks and purples don't appeal to me all the time. I have to admit, I am fond of the more darker, gloomier colours in the winter. What? They suit the weather don't they. And now that we have some snow predicted for us in the coming weeks, I sure will rock this baby then lol.
It's called Scorn, by none other then Illamasqua.
I have tried their nail varnishes before and I have been impressed. I think they do a pretty good job for £13 compared to the other high-end rip offs in the market.
This one is pretty sturdy once it dries and becomes almost 'plastered' on to my nail without any intention of coming of it. It will not chip easily too which is one thing I like about this. I can't stand nail varnishes that chip in a day : /
However, this does take a good few minutes to dry, so keep your calm and wait for it to dry before you start fidgeting.
It applies glossy but after a few minutes dries to a gorgeous matte black surface. I would have shown you how it looked on my nails properly but my cuticles are in such bad condition due to winter, I did not want to gross you guys out hence the close-up.
That's not it with the black guys. For a limited period of time, Illamasqua have also brought out these Handmade Bespoke Nail Quills (£35).
"Unique, extraordinary, and extravagant these tantalising talons are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Designed and handmade exclusively for Illamasqua by one of the hottest names in nails, Mike Pocock, these collector’s items are guaranteed to tease the senses of anyone whose eye they catch.

They look stunning don't they? I doubt I would be able to pull it off though.
aaaah that is a gorgeous black! I love vampy nails. I really wish Sephora Canada would start carrying Illamasqua
Love the nails!! Not sure about the pointy ones though, I would definitely poke my eyes out whilst trying to take out my contacts lol!
I like black nails in the winter. Sometimes even in the summer. haha. Yeah, happens to me as well, people stare and I just look back, "what do you know about fashion???" Well I dont say it out load. I say it in my head:)
Amazing!!!
Model's Own Matte Black is also a really good one!
I think I'm the only person in the world not that turned on by nail quills!
xx
that looks like such a nice black. like you said, pretty cheap for the nametag as well! x
This is a gorgeous creamy black color! I agree, Illamasqua does some pretty polishes. I have tried one before and the application and finish was amazing! I try and not buy more because it is a bit expensive! LOL! But I think I will have to eventually give in and try more colors :)
And I also love dark polishes for the winter. Perfect for that kind of season!
wow those quills look dangerous! xoxo
