I was really happy, surprised ,speechless and then excited when i got an email from Illamasqua about an hour ago
We’re delighted to let you know your entry was one of our final 50 shortlisted shades – well done! To congratulate you, we’re giving you an exclusive 25% off at illamasqua.com until 30th June.
If you girls remember Illamasqua held Nail Polish Competition few month ago(in feb), i took the plunge and send my entry , i am so thrilled even being in top 50, How often your entry is chosen among other 6000 entries and end up in top 50?
I am gonna share my entry with all of you today:)
This is how i described my perfect shade:
Like a jewel,Taj Mahal sparkles in moonlight,when it catches the glow of the moon.its pinkish ,and reflects as black in water & golden when moon shines. My color is deep bluish purple(in low light its blackened) based with orange,pink,golden,dull silver holographic shimmer
This is the image, from which i took the inspiration
The winning colours are:
* Shrapnel by Loren Perry – a pink-based metallic copper inspired by the dazzling shine of a new penny.
* Raindrops by Ann Black – a creamy pale grey with a sheer silver sparkle inspired by watching raindrops running down the window while riding the monorail in Seattle.
* Eclipse by Dami Lawal – a deep grey/purple blue that reflects the theatricality of a lunar eclipse.
All three shades will be available from October.
My favorite is ofcourse Eclipse, then Raindrop and last Sharpnel
