Illamasqua Phallic

Illamasqua Phallic is a dark blue creme with secret blue shimmer. The formula was a two coater and dried fast, shiny. I enjoy the Illamasqua formula, as it's thick, yes smooth and very pigmented. I'm surprised - the base color for Phallic is actually a lot more green than I expected, but the blue shimmer is very dense and turns the color dark blue instead. You can see what the base color looks like closer to my cuticles.
I am a bit disappointed that the shimmer isn't stronger. I was almost expecting this one to be a lot like OPI Yoga-ta get this Blue, but it normally looked like a blackened blue. The shimmer was very hard to see and usually never came out. Here is my attempt at catching it in the bottle:

Very pretty, huh?

Other than that little quirk, I still very much love this polish. The way it looks, dries and wears is very nice. I fee like I am getting fancy luxury polish for 14$ a pop, so I am very happy with the Illamasquas I purchased!
