ILNP 1UP

This week's polish is ILNP 1UP, from ILNP's Summer 2015 Ultra Holo collection. It was one of my Black Friday polishes. ❤ Mr. Fiend got me Super Mario Odyssey for Christmas, so I've been playing that with our preschooler a lot recently, and this polish fits that perfectly, hehe. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KMpFTgFsu/ 1UP is a cheery green...

ILNP Fired Up, Summer Lovin’, and Christmas Cookie

ILNP continues to be one of my favorite indie nail polish brands. I picked up a few colors over their Black Friday sale last year and was very happy with all of them. Here are Fired Up, Summer Lovin', and Christmas Cookie. https://www.instagram.com/p/B519mvsgxmT/ Fired Up is one of ILNP's Color Kissed Ultra Holo polishes and...

ILNP Tilted

This is ILNP Tilted, an Ultra Chrome from the holiday 2017 collection, two coats plus Julep Oxygen Performance Top Coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkD-SS8BVWM/?taken-by=eternaldecember Tilted has a metallic/shimmery fuchsia base with a beautiful gold/olive to blue-violet shift. Great application, and I don't recall anything unusual about the dry time or durability. Really enjoyed wearing this one!

ILNP Sirene

Oops, fell a little behind on posting, so it's going to be a post-heavy day. Also, I didn't keep notes on application, so these are probably going to be pretty sparse on text. might edit these if I wear the same polishes again. 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BjS7F6AhE6D/?taken-by=eternaldecember This is ILNP Sirene, one of their Ultra Chromes. I...

ILNP By Nightfall

This is ILNP By Nightfall from the fall 2017 collection. https://www.instagram.com/p/BioKSuyhA9J/?taken-by=eternaldecember By Nightfall is a shimmery metallic almost-black blue-gray generously loaded with silver and holo flakes. It’s definitely aptly named! The holo sparkle isn’t in your face, but you can definitely see the rainbows in direct light. https://www.instagram.com/p/BioKxWfhz5i/?taken-by=eternaldecember The formula is easy to apply and...

ILNP Close Knit

Here's another fabulous fall 2017 color: ILNP Close Knit. Below are some shots in indirect and direct sunlight, two coats with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf9y9jggqL1/?taken-by=eternaldecember Close Knit is hard to describe. It's kind of a neutral dusty, mauve-y pink, and under all the holo sparkle, it also looks like it's got a...

ILNP Salem & ILNP Supernova

It’s starting to edge toward spring, but I’m still enjoying my winter 2017 polishes. :] This is ILNP Salem, three coats, except for four coats ILNP Supernova on the ring finger, plus Supernova dabbed in an ombré effect over the tip of the middle finger, all topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfuOQTBAI_g/?taken-by=eternaldecember Salem...

ILNP Cygnus Loop

This week's nails/swatch is ILNP Cygnus Loop, one of ILNP's awesome Ultra Chrome polishes. Eyed this polish (and many others!) for years before finally buying it. It's topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat in my photos. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfP41acgmSP/?taken-by=eternaldecember Cygnus Loop is an exceptionally shifty multichrome polish that primarily reads as a bright blue-violet on my nails,...

ILNP Princeton

This is two coats of ILNP Princeton (from the 2014 spring collection), topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat, in outdoor natural light. https://www.instagram.com/p/Be1ntjSAJfd/?taken-by=eternaldecember Princeton is a mint-green holographic that can almost pass for a creme from a distance and in dimmer indoor lighting, but it throws plenty of rainbows in bright direct light....

ILNP Art District

It’s been a while since I’ve polished my nails, mostly because I was sick for so long - over a month, going on two! D: I hardly had the energy to keep myself awake, let alone polish my nails. If there’s one thing I appreciate about illness, it’s being reminded not to take your health...
