Illamasqua: Speckled Nail Varnish Mottle

Today I have another Illamasqua polish to share.  This is part of the Speckled polishes they released called Mottle.  I honestly bought this because it reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream.




Thoughts
I don't have much to say about this polish.  I think it's very pretty and cute.  I haven't worn this into the office yet, so I'm guessing I don't think it's office appropriate.  At least the black speck is not that much in your face and it's spread out pretty nicely.  What I like is how when you add another layer, the polish goes ontop of the original layer with the speck to make it look really nice.  It looks kind of what I would expect gel nails to look with this type of design.  The finish is very pretty.

Breakdown
Base coat: Nicole by OPI Base Coat Plus
Colour Coat: Illamasqua Mottle (2 coats)
Top coat: Nicole by OPI Top Coat Plus

Brush shot

Bottle shot.  I should add that it is possible to twist this cap and it'll have the brush attached to it to apply.  I personally prefer to remove this cap in order to get to the actual polish.  That way, when I twist the brush back and put the cap back on top, it'll match, instead of having a slightly off centered cap.

The point of the polish it seems was to look like eggs








The bottle is 15mL.  I bought this online at Sephora for C$18.  When I had decided that I wanted this, I was too late and it was all sold out in store.  At the time, this was available online still but soon after I bought it online, it was sold out.  This is limited edition, and is still available on the Illamasqua website for £14.50.  There's also a shipping fee that would need to be added.
