Illamasqua Nomad Nail Varnish
Illamasqua Nomad Nail Varnish
Illamasqua Nomad Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright jade” with a glossy finish. It’s a vibrant aqua-green with just a little too much green and aqua in it to be a true mint green. It’s like the lightest, brightest jade. China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint is much, much lighter. MAC Peppermint Patti is the closest shade I could think of, though it’s not as bright. Essie Turquoise & Caicos is bluer.
Illamasqua makes one of my favorite polish formulas, not just because the formula itself is excellent with impeccable wear (it’s one of the longest-wearing formulas on me–I’ve literally wore a color for 10-14 days with minor tip wear), but they often set and create trends and do so at a much more palatable price point than some higher-end brands like MAC, NARS, Dior, Chanel, and so forth. Nomad is no exception. I wore this shade for seven days with barely any tip wear and no chipping.
Nomad turns opaque in two coats, and the formula is a dream to work with–not too thick or too thin. It flowed fluidly across the nail and yielded even color, though it did take a little longer to dry than the average polish. The finish is slightly glossy, but I’d still recommend using a shiny top coat for a truly glossy finish.

| Nomad is a gorgeous shade that's appropriate for both spring and summer (though, perhaps, an edgy spring shade!). The formula is every bit as lovely to work with as the color is. | |
