I decided to try something new today - the Illamasqua Rubber Polishes. I have four of them for you to see, and they were all fun to wear because of how bright they all were. Application for most of these were a breeze. These are all available through Sephora, and they're currently on sale for $11 a pop. If you've got a Friend and Family discount, you'll get 20% off additional! What a deal!
First is Prosperity, a bright neon purple. Application was great, it took two coats for opacity and it self leveled extremely well with very little streaking. I was worried that the rubber finish may show off any flaws, but I don't think I had that problem at all with this polish. The photos are a bit bluer than what the actual color is in real life... it's always difficult to photograph purple accurately!

Next I have Serenity, a bright turquoise blue that reminds me of a refreshing deep blue pool. It's still warm here in SoCal, so it makes me wish I could jump into one now! No problems with this polish in terms of application either.

Nurture is a beautiful neon green color, a color that I think is perfect for a Halloween mani - it reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West's skin tone. This one however, was the most difficult for me to apply. It was very streaky and it took me three coats to even it all out. Despite all that, I'm sure I could use it in some nail art sometime in the future.

Devotee was the most surprising of the bunch for me. It's a stunning bubblegum pink color, a color that I normally dislike but I ended up really liking it on me. This one had no trouble with application either.

My favorite of these were Devotee and Prosperity. My least favorite was Nurture. Have you tried these yet? What do you think of them?
