This nail polish was my gateway drug. I used to hate painting my nails but when I was browsing Sephora I thought this color looked beautiful so I bought it. The application is so smooth and the color is gorg.

This is an beautiful light violet color, and one of my all-time favorite polishes. It's so saturated and bright it almost looks glowy. I love that it's pastel yet vibrant at the same time. This spring, I've loved admiring how beautiful the flowers look in bloom, and this polish color evokes the same type of marvel.

I bought Jo'Mina purely for it's unique colour, a gorgeous electric lilac, unlike anything I've ever seen. Illamasqua polishes apply so smoothly on my nails, zero dragging of the brush and the colour see on the bottle is exactly what you'll get on your nails. Jo'Mina requires only 2 coats to reach opaqueness, you could probably get away with only 1. The shade looks absolutely amazing against my light-medium NC25 skintone. Yes, Illamasqua polishes are expensive but I only ever try to buy their unique shades which other brands don't have.

This nail polish lasts longer on me than any other nail polish in my collection. Most polishes chip on me between 1-3 days of wear. This also applies like a dream. I got this in the Illamasqua Mystery Box and I am *very* interested in trying out other colors. Amazing quality. Goes on opaque and smooth in 1 coat. Lasts and lasts and LASTS on my toes. Very springy color.

One of my all-time favourite nail polishes. Jo'mina is a pastel purple unlike any others on the market. The colour speaks for itself. Rich, heavily pigmented and very creamy, this polish is hard to fault. Like other reviewers have commented, only one coat is necessary for full opaqueness, and two to reach perfection. It dries glossy and hard. Very beautiful nail polish and I adore the unique Illamasqua packaging. Love it!

I received this nailpolish in Sephora's Illamasqua Mystery Box. It is the first Illamasqua nailpolish that I own. Compared to the other brands that I use regularly (OPI, Ciate, Revlon), I feel that it is a great quality nail polish.

This color applies evenly and looks decent with just one coat (which, in my opinion is rare for a nailpolish as I find most requre two). I liked the brush and found that it applied the polish evenly. I did not experience any streaking when it dried. As far as chip resistance goes, I think that it is comparable to most other decent quality nail polishes, although, doesn't compare to Ciate (which has been the longest-lasting for me). It lasted four days without any chips on my fingernails, and is still going strong on my toes.

Oh Jo'Mina, how you've stolen my heart. I've always loved purples and Jo'Mina definitely delivers. It's soft, yet bold and that's what I love about it. I used 3 coats, but only two was needed. The formula is a total dream! No pooling, streaking, and it's self-leveling. It dried super quick, and didn't take long at all from first stroke of color to the last stroke of top coat. I would definitely buy again!

Just bought my second bottle. This is the best nail polish I've ever tried!

Jo'mina is a cooler electric lilac. It's true to color in bottle.
This polish is fine with one coat but looks extra special with two coats. Goes on smooth and creamy. It's a creme with a shiny finish. Layer with TC for an even better shine!
The formula of illamasqua polishes is the longest lasting formula I've ever tried.

OPI chips instantly, butter London lasts 2-3 days, Essie lasts 2 days but illamasqua lasts 7 or more days! It's amazing
The price is 14 dollars US but perfectly worth it, the bottle lasted me forever, I probably painted my nails 40 times with this polish. It also didn't turn thick when it was getting empty

Run don't walk and buy it!

Like all of the other Illamasqua nail polishes, Jo'Mina is a beautiful, vibrant color that is unique and eye-catching. It also had the best formula out of the ones I've used so far (Nomad and Lament) because it went on smoothly, was very opaque, and was just the right consistency. The only problem I have is that Illamasqua polishes aren't 3 free, but hopefully that will change.

This is my new favorite polish! The color is beautiful and bright (got compliments from random people), it dries quickly, applies very very smoothly. No bubbles or streaks at all.
It covers well with one coat, but two makes it perfect. I'm definitely going to buy other Illamasqua colors. Thankfully I have a discount, because they are pricey! I've had it on for three days and several nails have chipped at the tips, but for me that's not bad. Chips started after 2 days. I usually get chips after just one day.

JO'MINA is a bright lilac shade and has a shiny creme finish. I've been searching for a lilac, that isn't too deep, but also not too light for years and JO'MINA is the perfect shade between pastel and purple. The colour is highly pigmented, so you really only need one coat (though I usually wear two coats just because it's become automatic to do so).


The shade is colour true to how it looks in the bottle.




JO'MINA is smooth to apply, leaving no bubbles or streaks and I was impressed with the drying time; within three minutes after application it was touch dry and after ten minutes I was rummaging through drawers, there were no chips or smudges. I hadn't applied a top coat at that point.


Using my usual base and top coats this polish will last me around two/three days with only minimal wear; but I’m tough on my nails (self powered wheelchair user), so it will probably last longer on other people.

I love this color. I've been looking for a bright neon purple that doesn't dry down to a matte dark color. It's not neon but I'd call it an electric pastel purple. I don't like pastel colors, but its electric enough that I love it. It applies beautifully and dries fast to a super shiny finish. Two coats and I have super shiny purple nails. I really hate paying over ten dollars for nail polish but this color was so close to my dream color I'm going to buy another three as back ups. It dries to the exact color in the bottle.
