Untried Polish Challenge - Day 10 - Most Expensive

Hey everyone! I just received these beauties in the mail yesterday, and they just so happened to be the most expensive untrieds I had...lucky for me, because I couldn't wait to put them on. For those of you who aren't familiar with Illamsqua Rain Drops, the polish was discontinued by Illamasqua a while ago. It's a grey-blue jelly filled with silver flakies. Ever since I saw swatches of it a few months ago, I've been lemming it. Finally, they re-released it, along with a limited edition pink version. The collector in me felt it was necessary to purchase both.
This is three coats of Rain Drops and two coats of Illamasqua Pink Rain Drops. The formula was fantastic on both of these, though the formula on Pink Raindrops is more opaque. In addition, the pink version has a slight darker pink duochrome effect, but it's more visible in the bottle than on the nail. Overall, super happy with this purchase! If you're interested, you can get these at Sephora for $17 a bottle.
