Illamasqua Boosh With Spikes

Hi everyone! I've been a little M.I.A atm and I apologise for that! Work has made me pretty tired and left me wanting to just lie like a stone on my days off haha I will try my very best to not be lazy!

I have something that I did a while to show you. As I mentioned in the last post, I would be posting about the spike nails I did. I never wore them out since they were very impractical and I could easily snag it on my clothes or cut myself, so I only wore it for photos and took it off shortly after.

I also forgot to take a swatch of Illamasqua Boosh before the spikes so I guess this will have to do. It's a black creme polish that goes on smoothly and covers in 2 coats. Great formula, but kind of pricey for just a black polish (costs about $34AUD here). I received this polish from a PR company to try out, so I thank them for sending this out to me. I also received colours from their previous Human Fundamentalism collection, so I will show you them another time.

Here's the spikes!





For those wondering where I bought these spikes, they're actually from the ends of an eyebrow piercing. Neat huh? I just took them apart and stuck them down with some Seche Vite 'cause that stuff is heavy duty! Never know where you can find things to stick on your nails :D

They look punkish and I would've done it on the thumb too, but it was a bit much considering it's quite sharp. For those who have seen this on my Facebook, I know you're all thinking it's hella dangerous! Mind you they probably are (even if you were being careful), hence I took them off shortly after the pics were taken.

Just got a couple more previous nails to show you all as well, though it'll prob be slowing down a bit since my nails will probably get ruined at work anyway, so I'll see how I go! Thanks for being patient as always, love you all :) Till next time, take care!

  12. Super awesome. This would be fun to do just for a night out and apply the spikes after your dressed (so you don't shred your clothes up lol) and then take them off when you get home. It's great looking!

  14. I love Illamasqua polishes. Boosh is my favorite black, and I also have Phallic, which is a navy with some iridescence. I couldn't pass it up just because of its name!
