Nails: Illamasqua "Bacterium"

Tonight I'm taking inspiration from Liloo and posting a NOTD for today's blogging date!

Illamasqua's Bacterium will always remind me of my trip to Atlanta last year, despite me not actually buying it there! I put it in my basket during pretty much every trip to Sephora but always put it back on the stand. I figured that I could always buy it over in the UK so I didn't need to spent the money on it in the US.

I eventually bought it during a trip to Meadowhall and have only just got round to wearing it. When I tested it out as soon as I got home, it took 4 coats to get nearly full coverage. I hate seeing any nail line so I put it back into the "Drawer Of Doom" and pretty much forgot about it.

And this is where Liloo comes in. She regularly uses a nude nail polish under a sheerer colour to get better coverage in fewer coats. She's particularly fond of Gosh Nude Champagne so I bought one the next time I was in Superdrug.

To be honest, I hate it. The colour does my no favours at all so I'd never wear it on its own. But, Bacterium looks pretty awesome. All browny-taupey-blue flashy on my nails. Oh, excuse the laboratory hands (frequent sanitisation dries them out something awful).
