I am not sure if you know but nail polishes from Illamasqua are one of my favourites out there. Their award-winning formula is excellent and range of shades are beyond amazing – ranging from dusty greys, murky greens to neon pinks and bright reds. Most of what I own are beautiful one-coaters too.
In today’s post, I will be featuring one of their newest addition – Creator.
Each bottle of Illamasqua Nail Varnish retails at GBP13.50 for 15ml of product, made in Australia. From Singapore, you can purchase them online – either directly from Illamasqua or ASOS. Illamasqua offers free international shipping with orders over GBP75 and 10% loyalty discount from your 3rd order onwards.
On the other hand, ASOS provides free international shipping with no minimal order but I have heard of their poor packing quality – which have resulted in broken powder blushers and eyeshadows.
Illamasqua describes Creator as a magical black and magical it is. Creator contains large flecks of silver suspended in an opaque, black base. Distribution of the silver flecks applies evenly and I was able to achieve full coverage in 2 thin coats.
The irregular shape and sizes of silver flecks sparkles beautifully at night, under any form of lighting. Texture is smooth and creamy. Consistency is nice and thick (in a good way) – easy to apply without streaking.
Swatches above swatched with Nail Tek Foundation II, 2 coats of nail polish and Deborah Lippmann Addicted To Speed Top Coat.
Everything about the Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Creator is love – from texture, consistency down to the colour. I think black, dark hues with sparkles add depth and dimension and a mysterious vibe to any wardrobe. It’s edgy in a modern and understated way – and matches most of my outfits well.
Midnight from MECCA Cosmetica Painted Beauty Midnight Series (swatches here) is somewhat similar but contains multi-coloured shimmers and the silver flecks are smaller in size.
Thank you for looking.
Joey, thanks for the info about the packaging from ASOS. I’d love to try Illamasqua nail varnish but I guess I haven’t made the choice yet.
You are welcome..
Not sure if ASOS has improved their packing quality!!
Apparently, they ship beauty products without bubble wrap or cushion..
You will the Illamasqua nail polishes =)
I’m addicted to nail polish and I love yours! the color and the glitter thing its very fab!

Hi Lira,
This shade is a beauty =)
Great formula too, you will love it!!
Temptalia always give A to Illamasqua’s nail varnish formula. Sadly ASOS does not ship Illamasqua’s nail polish to Singapore, same like they don’t ship Nars products out.
But they do bubble wrap the items – I bought Illamasqua’s Skin Base Foundation & Blusher from them.
Hi Ahwish,
Illamasqua’s nail polish formula is really good, worth a try =)
Oh, they don’t ship NARS?
I have ordered a bunch of NARS products from them before and that’s when I noticed they don’t wrap the items properly..
Good to know that they do bubble wrap now =)
Tried ordering polish from ASOS previously but they didn’t allow me to check out nail polishes! Did they change their regulations?
Hi pretty,
Never ordered nail polishes from ASOS before – try ordering direct from Illamasqua =)
