Illamasqua Scorch

White polish may not be the most exciting thing to talk about, but I'm of the opinion that everyone needs to have a good white in their stash to use for layering. I am just about out of my longtime go-to white polish, Sally Hansen White On, so when I had the chance to snag Scorch on clearance for about the same price as Sally, I couldn't pass that deal up! I'd never wear white polish on its own (reminds me too much of white-out), but I figured I'd swatch it alone here in case any of you were curious about this polish.

For a white polish, the formula is surprisingly non-streaky. It'd be nice if it was a touch thicker, just based on my own personal preferences, but other than that, I was impressed with how nicely this applies. I used three coats here. I like the high gloss finish Scorch has and it looks clean and smooth, making it an ideal base for layering.

Although this is a nice white, I would never pay the usual $17 Illamasqua price for white polish. To me, a higher price point is worth it if the color is something unique, but I just don't use white polish enough to justify the splurge. I am really happy I got Scorch on sale and I will definitely use it until it's completely gone but once I run out, I'll pick up something more affordable rather than re-purchase.
