Viridian by Illamasqua & Nail Junkie by Sinful Colors



General  
Both these polishes are spectacular, really solid formulas that get the job done quickly. 
Pros 
Everything. Even the cheap SC polish evenly distributes and is quick to apply. You can definitely get away with a single coat of Viridian
Cons 
Nail Junkie is a bit goopy, but it's pretty easy to deal with. For a $2 nail polish, I definitely cannot complain for even a moment. Sinful Colors can be hit or miss, but this is definitely one of the better shades. 
Verdict: Both are worth it completely.

Scandal by Illamasqua

Blush pictured is Superdupernatural by MAC.


General

This is a remarkably pigmented, completely matte, pink-coral lipstick. It's definitely one of the best, if not the best, Illamasqua lipstick I've tried. This is a slightly more muted, matte version of YSL Rouge Volupte #27 (see below).

Pros

That photo was taken after ZERO touchups or reapplications after 8 hours of wear, during which I ate and drank.

Cons

None, really. It's slightly drying but definitely in the better half of matte formulas out there.
Verdict: Definitely go get this right now if you're looking for a coral, or a perf summer lipstick.
