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...

NAVNI Beauty – Space Eggplant

I fell in love with NAVNI Beauty Space Eggplant as soon as I saw a swatch for the first time on Instagram. NAVNI Beauty is a relatively new indie polish brand created by Kripa, who also works full-time as a physician/surgeon (link to Paula's swatch post and interview, since I discovered NAVNI through her :)) -...

This is two coats of Julep Phia, from the  Julep Maven June 2014 It Girl monthly box, in natural light: Julep describes Phia as an “[a]lluring orchid iridescent chrome,” though the metallic finish has much more scatter to it than I would have associated with a chrome. Then again, I tend to group chromes, metallics, and foils together...

I got my June 2014 Julep Maven monthly box in the mail today! I went with the It Girl box this month because I liked the colors best. I did want to try the new oxygen base and top coats, so I threw in the set of them as an add-on. I had enough Jules...
