Happy day everybody!!! I hope you're having a great time.
Today in the
Alphabet Challenge I am in the letter J and I would like to show you a gorgeous polish by one of my most favorite brands: this is Jo-Mina by Illamasqua.

Illamasqua describes Jo-mina as Electric Lilac. I don't know, I think I would use the word electric on something a lot more Neon-y. Jo-Mina is a creamy lilac with some warm undertone, that has a pastel feel to it, although it's so bright. Application, as I learned to expect of illamasqua's polishes, is perfect. Smooth and easy. It is not striky nor runny. It has the perfect thickness. jo-Mina is very pigmented and it is completely opaque in two easy coats. Drying time is short and the finish is a shiny cream. These pictures show no top coat.

I decided to make this somewhat a romantic mani, so I stamped some roses on it, using Zoya Jem - another J polish, and the large DRK-A plate. But as it happens too many times, I got a little "I love you mom" cat reminder with a hair in my index finger.

So this is how my romantic mani died... And the sad part is, I didn't even see it until I saw the pictures...

No more romance until the next time ;-)
