Illamasqua Superstition Nail Varnish
Illamasqua Superstition Nail Varnish ($17.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright fuchsia pink.” It’s a bold, magenta pink with a jelly-cream finish. It is similar to the base color of Hare Polish Party Palace. NARS Ratin Jot is a bit less magenta (pinker). Illamasqua Obsess seemed really similar to me; perhaps a little purpler and lighter (and this has a true cream finish). If you have Obsess, I’d skip this (unless you’re a die-hard fan of Illamasqua’s formula, wear this kind of color all the time, or really want the jelly finish this has), because they are very, very similar. Deborah Lippmann Makin’ Whoopee is similar but has a shimmer finish.
The formula is everything I’ve come to expect from Illamasqua: perfection. It’s not too thick or too thin, so it applies beautifully without bubbling, streaking, or pooling along the edge of the nail. It flows well across the nail and is opaque in two coats. The finish is more of a hybrid between jelly and cream; it didn’t look as squishy as a typical jelly is, and this shade was more opaque than a lot of jelly polishes I’ve seen have been. Illamasqua’s formula lasts seven days on me with very minor tip wear, but it easily extends to ten to fourteen-day wear if I let it go that long.

Hi Christine,
I can’t find it on the Illamasqua website, and you noted that it is not a limited edition. Do you happen to know when it’s gonna be out?
Btw, kudos for all the latest reviews, I don’t know how you keep it up…
It’s on Sephora’s website now – I really don’t have much info on it 🙁 I’m going off of what Sephora has it listed as!
I guess i’ll email them and see what’s up (I just can’t help myself, it’s such a gorgeous color!).
Love the color, not the price
Wow! I’m not normally a high end nail polish purchaser but this and Chanel Taboo are really calling to me.
Illamasqua is the only high end brand of nail polish i buy.. i honestly think it is worth the price
Hi Christine,
What a gorgeous hot fuschia! I love colors like this 🙂
beautiful! I may have to pick this up. I love the formula of Illamasquas polishes such a great color! I see why you gave it an A+
Nice shine!
