Taint is one of Illamasqua's new rubber texture nail polishes, from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Theatre of the Nameless collection. The texture is not just a plain matte, it really does feel rubberised and very slightly bouncy if you press on it after it has dried.
Picture is with two coats applied, the first coat was streaky but the second coat evened everything out. I found the formula dripped down the brush quite a lot, so you do need to be careful to wipe off excess before applying. It dries very quickly, which is useful as a top coat would ruin the effect of the texture.
I'm guest handing over at Just Nice Things with this today, and the Just Nice Things ladies have swatches of the other polishes from this collection too at www.just-nice-things.co.uk illamasqua.
Do you like the brown, or not?

The name doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind brown polish, but there's something about this shade that I'm not really into. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is a slight yellow undertone to the brown, but I think it looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI never really got into mattes but this texture does seem more interesting as it looks similar to a chocolate texture even if the colour is not quite chocolate.
I'm not a fan of brown at all, especially not this kind of brown. But the other shades in the collection I adore, and I'm actually waiting for them to arrive in the post! Yay :D
ReplyDeleteI like brown, though the name of this polish is a bit rude--at least in American slang! ;D I do see chocolate in the color, but I tend to prefer brown with a bit of shimmer, so it borders on bronze. This color is very flattering against your skin tone.
ReplyDeleteeek Not! Dont like any of the new colours tbh and hate hate hate the rubbery non glossy finish. It's cos I am boringly old fashioned and love a glossy nail.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like brown sometimes but ... nope, this one is a miss.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this color, it looks great for fall.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I want to eat your nails? I keep thinking they will taste like chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThis was one to miss for me. I normally like murky shades but this is in dirty territory than I enjoy on my hands! I want to see chocolate but I can't.
