Review: Illamasqua Muse nailpolish

Ok first review!

I've been a fan of Illamasqua nailpolishes for quite a while now, though I only own 3. They are such lovely quality, but they really should be for the price (£13.50). I'm one of these people that, no matter how many base coats, top coats etc I put on, my nailpolish still chips and gets lots of wear and tear at the tips. Illamasqua polishes tend to last a good week with minimal chipping

This week I purchased "Muse" on the Illamasqua website for 50% off as part of their Easter sale. Muse is a beautiful teal colour. Teal is one of my favourite colours ever and can vary blue to green quite a lot. This is one of the slightly more blue- teals I've come across. It applies beautifully - smooth and creamy. It's almost opaque on the first coat and definitely opaque on the second! It applies evenly and with no bubbles. It dries in pretty standard nailpolish drying time (about 10 mins) with no noticeable dents or chips straight after

Hoping this one stays put for the next week - I'll update later next week once it's been through a few more day-today wear and tear tests
