Illamasqua Snap nail polish review

I have been honoured the opportunity to receive some products from Debenhams on behalf of Illamasqua, to try them out and submit a review. I was sent 1 bottle of nail polish in 'Snap' and the Complement Pallette with shades 'Slink, Focus, Queen of the Night & Forgiveness'. I'll get the the Compliment Pallette in my next separate review.

I have only been sent the nail polish colour and not Illamasqua's own base and top coat, so for this review I'll be using no base or top coat for two reasons: I left all my nail varnishes at my boyfriend's house (oops!) & this way I can try the product out under tough circumstances.

I have started by using a cheap bottle of nail polish remover on a flat cotton pad over each of my nails to remove any oil residue.

The nail polish goes on very smoothly! The size of the brush seems just about the right size, too, it's not too little where you have to run it down your nails too much, and not too big to fill in the corners without too much also being added to the middle of your nail.
The minuscule fragments of silver are lovely, it's like my nails are made of pewter! It also dries very quickly, after 2 minutes I tapped the top of my thumbnail, there was no stickiness or fingerprint indentation.
Overall, this is a great product. And as always, such beautiful packaging.

This photo does not do justice to the intensity of metallic shine at all! I hail this nail polish 5 out of 5.
