Illamasqua Lament Nail Varnish Review, Photos, Swatches

Coral Tips for Summer Trips

Illamasqua Lament Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is a fierce coral-orange that practically glows in the light.  Even in soft, indirect light, you can see the brightness of the shade.  Like Baptiste, Lament applies easily without streaking.  It has a very slight jelly quality, but overall, it’s your standard cream finish.  Above, I used two coats, but you could probably do a third for complete opacity (it looked opaque to me originally, but you can very faintly see the nail line in the photos).   Application really is quite dreamy here– so smooth, no fussing, no bubbling.

do you think its going to compliment warmer skin tones?

LOOOOOVE them All!!! so glossy and jelly-like~ :)

where can i buy this brand?

WOW that is sooo pretty. I love my pinks!

I totally love the Illamasqua varnish formula. I bought Phallic a bit ago and I recently put it on with a layer of China Glaze Wireless Holographic Top Coat, and it makes it look like a beautiful cosmic blue. :)

I am so loving ALL three! seems like a lovely texture! when are we getting Illamasqua in India :(!

Hi Gaea, Illamasqua products are online shopping available and shipped all over the world:)

Baptiste is a gorgeous color! I wish they made a less neon Lament, it's such a wonderful color, but too bright!
