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...

Julep Mindy, Julep Angelique, Julep Marlise & Julep Vivien

I picked up my first Julep box in a long time this month and thought I’d try out the colors in the Luminous Luck nail polish trio that was offered as an add-on. Since these didn’t look all that opaque, I started off with one coat Julep Mindy. On top of that are: Index &...

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 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...

ILNP Ava & Julep Elsa

Here's another ILNP Fall 2017 collection color, ILNP Ava, on all fingers, other than the accent nail, which is the snow-effect "stardust finish" polish Julep Elsa from last December: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdBXriOgxPM/?taken-by=eternaldecember ILNP Ava is a gorgeous violet jelly loaded with red shimmer and a smattering of holo shimmer. ILNP says there's some gold micro-flakes in there,...

ILNP West Wing

I was sick and pretty miserable all last week, but I managed to slap some polish on my nails for my birthday. It’s become something of a personal tradition that I try to find a color that reminds me of space, galaxies, nebulae, etc., for the occasion. This year, I picked ILNP West Wing, from...

ILNP Grace

This is ILNP Grace, an Ultra Holo from ILNP's fall 2017 lineup. This is two coats, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat, which I've been wearing for about a week. It was neutral enough that I'm still not tired of it! My Instagram post has some photos in both sunlight and artificial light...
