Happy Monday! I missed you on Friday. I got an awesome opportunity to do a cool nail polish-related somethin' somethin' so I was feverishly polishing all last week and this weekend for that. At some point, I can share it with you! :)So today I'm super excited to give you a little sneak peek at a few Spring release polishes from I Love Nail Polish (ILNP). There will be eleven total polishes in the ILNP Spring Collection: 2 Ultra Holos, 4 Ultra Chromes and 5 pastel holos. I've always loved ILNP. Barbra executes everything she does...from formulas, to colors, to finishes and packaging...with absolute precision. This collection is no exception! I switched up my photos a bit. Multi-chromes are nearly impossible to photograph in my setup. So I ventured out-of-the-box and did some natural sunlight shots. Oh how I wish I could shoot like this all the time! All swatches are done without top coat.
Let's start with the Ultra Chromes. This is Sirène. This teal-y chrome shifts to blue, violet and red. It's even more amazing in person! My swatch is three coats.
This is Undenied, a rich purple to bronze-y gold multi-chrome. I'm wearing it right now and as I look down at my nails on the keyboard...they look completely golden. Very cool. I used three very thin coats for this swatch.
Reminisce is a bright green that shifts to a deep teal then blue. The finish is seriously chrome. I wore this one out and got stopped three times...I kid you not. Again, I used three coats.
Now for some Ultra Holos. Since I don't get to swatch in the sunlight often, I was excited to show off the next two polishes in their full holo craziness. I'm still not even sure my photos do them justice. They are blindingly sparkly and rainbow-y! This is Kings & Queens. Are you drooling? It's a deep berry shade with an absolutely brilliant holo finish. Just stunning. My daughter called it "magical". I agree! This swatch is two coats.
And last, but not least, we have MEGA, a bright silver that is jaw-dropping too. I had a hard time photographing it...it almost seems fake, doesn't it? But I assure you it's not. The formula was really nice. This is two easy coats.
I know I sounded drippingly complimentary about all of these...but it's truly my genuine reaction. I'm not sure how she does it! I can't wait to see the other 6 in this collection. What do you think? Do you own any ILNP yet?
The ILNP Spring Collection will be available in the ILNP shop (be sure to sign up for the newsletter while you’re there) in February. For collection updates, promotions and giveaways, follow ILNP on facebook, twitter and instagram too!
