opi ds illuminate (designer series 33)

illuminate is the 33rd polish in opi's designer series, released at the end of 2008. i've already shown extravagance, fantasy, tapestry, mystery and radiance.

illuminate is described as "a brilliant sparkle of rich, burnished gold". it is kind of a light brown/dark nude, with dence holographic particles, that are kind of a signature for this collection.

even though it is millions of years old, the formula is still amazing, didn't change in the slightest. the day i wore it wasn't the sunniest, so i will update the post at some point

ysl eau de rose (spicy)

i am showing a beauty from ysl's collection spicy from spring 2014, eau de rose.

this collection gave us some gorgeous polishes. while i had some clear (not yet posted) favourites, and an unexpected crush on a pretty classical piment d'ailleurs, i have to say that eau de rose stole my heart.

i don't usually fall for these peachy rose shades, this one somehow suits me well. formula is impeccable, and i still can't get over how much i like this polish.
