Rubber Hits the Road
British beauty brand Illamasqua just did something we thought was impossible: They have created an utterly new type of nail polish. Their just-out rubber-finish formula is pretty much what its name implies. The varnish—available in a range of ten snappy hues—goes on a tad gelatinous and sets into a tough, matte-jelly finish. This polish is sure to add a jaunty bounce to your texting fingers.
