When I was preparing for my work trip last month, I considered wearing an ILNP Magnetic for the days I'd be gone so I pulled out a bunch of them. I thought it would only be right to swatch them before I put them back in my Helmer. Today I have ILNP Flip Side from the Illusions collection. Now, this says it's a magenta to orange to gold sparkle with blue to teal magnetic pigment. That's a mouthful.
I started with cuccio Base Coat, and 3 coats of polish. Because I wanted to really get the magnetic to show, I didn't use top coat for this. To get my velvet line, I used the ILNP U-Magnet with a strong bar magnet on top of it. I saw this technique used by sbrown.nails on Instagram.
I definitely feel this is more purple than magenta but that works for me. Super gorgeous.
