Nails Of The Day - Illamasqua Bacterium (Pic Heavy)

If you remember I bought this in my recent ASOS haul - It was one of my must haves from the new Illamasqua Toxic Nature collection. Described by Illamasqua as a pearlescent ash ochre, Bacterium is a funny colour to describe, in some lights it appears to be beige, in some opalescent gold, and in some a pewter grey. I've taken two lots of photos here so you can see how different it can look in different lights - first two coats with the flash








as you can see it's pretty gold toned but without the flash - it's much more beige / greige even with a splash of silver in tone







I really love colours like this that can look so different in different lights - any questions please ask x

  2. LOVE this colour, really fab collection this time, I love all of them except for the peach one. Shame is I just can't afford or justify £13.50 on a nail polish, even if it IS Illamasqua! :( Bacterium is gorgeous, reminds me of a really murky river :D xx
