Illamasqua is a brand that I look up to because they’re not afraid to push the envelope and to be edgy or artistic. So imagine how ecstatic I was when one of my long-time readers, Gareth, messaged me on Facebook and told me that he saw Illamasqua mentioned me in their latest blog post!
I was over the moon to be mentioned. Period. But for Illamasqua’s List of Best Nail Art in 2014? I was beyond flattered! It made my eyes water.
In their post, they chose one manicure for every month in 2014.
I am incredibly honoured to be listed among such talented nailphiles. Thank you, Illamasqua!
Below is a screenshot of the post featuring the Rainbow Dotticure I did in January 2014. (You may remember my Rainbow Dotticure Nail Art I posted on the blog.)
Also, be sure to click on the link to the Illamasqua Best Of 2014 Nail Art article or on the below screenshots to check out the other striking nail art! (You will gain a lot of inspiration from those other nailphiles – truly spectacular talent and eye for detail!)
Did you check out the other awesome nail art in the Illamasqua article? Have you thought of what you’ll wear for New Year’s Eve? Is there a nail-art design you’d like me to do a tutorial on?
Yes yes yes! CONGRATULATIONS Mary! Well deserved. They know talent and beauty when they see it.
Hey Robbie!

Hey Nageldraken!
Yes, it really put the wind in my sails. I’m very fortunate to have been included among other talented nailphiles!
Congratulations!!! I love Illamasqua and am so upset that Sephora doesn’t carry them anymore. 🙁 At least on the website.
Hey Lizzy!
Me, too! I loved browsing their polishes at Sephora. I guess their Canadian run wasn’t too successful, but who knows? Maybe one day, they’ll be back! *Crosses fingers*
I really like that neon dot mani as well :). Congratulations and happy New Year!
Hey Jessica!
Thanks so much! 🙂 It was one of my all-time favourite nail designs that I’ve painted and worn over the years!
