Illamasqua Baptiste's (not-so-evil) twin! *Pic Heavy!*

Hello Ladies! Today's post is ultra-special since it's a Twin post with a blogger (and friend) that I adore. Not only is she one of my nail crushes, but she's a really awesome person and I count myself lucky to know her.

If you don't know Kat from Hooked on Polish, then you've been living under a rock. She has the most gorgeous nails, and mad nail art skills. She has created so many lemmings for me, and I've learned a ton from her as well.

I met Kat just before she started her blog, and have been a fan ever since. Her blog has kicked butt since day one, and she's just the sweetest person. Awhile back I was lucky enough to win her awesome giveaway (you'll be seeing polishes I won soon - I'm kind of saving them for special occasions since I love them so much I don't want to use them up!). One of the prizes was an Illamasqua polish of my choice, but being indecisive I asked Kat to pick for me. Kat has awesome taste in polish and I knew I would love anything she chose. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package and there was Illamasqua Baptiste!! Both my husband and I spent  good 10 minutes ooooohing and ahhhhin over it. Kat loved it enough to grab one for herself, and we decided to do a twin post. It may sound silly, but I am very honored to be sharing a post with such an awesome lady.

Illamasqua polishes are always amazing, and Baptiste is no exception. She's a deep, shimmery eggplant with exceptional pigmentation and depth. I wish I could capture that on camera, but this is one you really have to wear to appreciate. The formula and application was flawless as well. Just an awesome polish and a must have in my book!

Here is Baptiste in all her glory! I did end up adding some nail art, but that's for another post. I loved this polish so much on her own that I decided to show her alone for today.

Details:
1 coat OPI Nail Envy Matte
2 coats Illamasqua Baptiste
1 coat SV

I know, I took a ton of pictures. But man! This girl is so gorgeous I just had to show her off! Sorry my cuticles are still trashed They're healing from that cuticle remover mishap and they're not being nice about it!

A huge thanks to Kat for sending me this polish. I cannot thank her enough! This is definitely one of my fave polishes in my collection, which says alot in a stash of over 850!

Go check out Kat's Baptiste post! Trust me, it's awesome! And follow her. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
