Illamasqua’s Bacterium

I took an interest in this color during my Atlanta trip, when <a href=“http://www.sirvinya.com” target=“_blank”>Sirvinya</a> looked at this color a few times before ultimately deciding not to get it. I finally did get it - when I got home. It's a very unassuming tan-brown with yellow undertones, but it's got a silver-pearl overlay with faint hints of blue iridescence. Not a “wow knock your socks off” shade, but it's a lovely slightly elegant not-quite-the-same-as-everything-else color. And, wonder of wonders, it actually looks good on me. (Except that it makes my hands look kind of red. I guess this is what some nail bloggers have referred to as “lobster hands”?)
