<em>Illamasqua Obsess Nail Lacquer</em></p>
<h2>Illamasqua Obsess Nail Varnish</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=32532.1321025&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" target="new">Illamasqua Obsess Nail Varnish</a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=32532.1321025&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /></strong> ($14.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described simply as &#8220;bright fuchsia pink.&#8221; It&#8217;s almost neon; it&#8217;s exceedingly bright and vibrant, but there&#8217;s something in the finish that holds it back from being a true neon. <em>Obsess</em> is a bright fuchsia pink with an underlying hint of violet with a cream finish. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-rollergirl-nail-kit-swatches-photos-review#image4">Urban Decay Miss T</a> is similar but appears purpler. It&#8217;s purpler compared to <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/deborah-lippmann-makin-whoopee-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatches#image1">Deborah Lippmann Makin&#8217; Whoopee</a>, though.</p>
<p>Illamasqua&#8217;s formula is three-free (it does not include DBP, formaldehyde, or toulene), and it wears a full week on me with very minor tip wear (and no chipping). The consistency of Obsess is phenomenal; perfectly balanced between thin and thick that it flows to the edges of the nail with ease and does so evenly. It&#8217;s opaque in nearly one coat (I used two for swatches).</p>
<p><em>P.S. &#8212; I have no idea why the stickers on some of my Illamasqua bottles are wonky; I&#8217;ll take that minor inconvenience because of the stellar formula, though.</em></p>
