ILNP Melted

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for the finale of the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Melted, a lilac purple creme. At first, I was unsure what this color was inspired by, but it was actually related to berry gelato.

ILNP Oasis

Nothing To Disclose

I'm almost through the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Oasis, a soft turquoise creme. To me, this is more sky blue than turquoise.

ILNP Minted

I'm in the back half of the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Minted, a mint green creme. These last three polishes really pair well with each other.

ILNP Honeybee

Nothing To Disclose

I was super excited for this next polish from the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Honeybee, a creamy, buttery yellow. This reminds me of honeycomb and daisies.

ILNP Cream Pop

Nothing To Disclose
I have another from the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection, and this is definitely a melon orange creme. This is Cream Pop, a great creamy orange. This entire collection was inspired by summer - sun-drenched sand, blooming cacti, and the surreal warmth of desert evenings.

ILNP Daytrip

Nothing To Disclose
I'm disrupting my posting schedule because I thought it would be fun to swatch the ILNP Heat Waves collection that came out in Summer 2025. Today I have ILNP Daytrip, a "hot hibiscus pink". 

ILNP Forest Drive

Nothing To Disclose
I just celebrated 15 years of my blog last week. From what I can tell, I am the second longest-running nails-only blog in the United States. Woo! We had family photos this last week and for some reason, I was feeling green. This is ILNP Forest Drive from the Home For the Holidays Collection. It's a deep green with scattered holographic and has a jelly/crelly opacity.

ILNP Lily

Nothing To Disclose

Yesterday, I was invited to speak for Career Day at a local middle school and one of the things I mentioned was my beauty blog and how I'm officially the second longest-running, nails-only niche beauty blog in the United States (second to xoxo, Jen) and I realized that I hadn't posted in awhile! I have a lot of polish here to play with and I'm really wanting to get some organization under me again. Today I decided to wear ILNP Lily from the new Velvet collection. This is a lilac base with subtle holo and silver magnetic particles. The way that the magnetic pulls, you get more of a crushed-velvet look on the nails.

ILNP Currant

Nothing To Disclose

I'm halfway through the Studio Color polish from ILNP - today it's Currant, which is a rich plum purple polish. I was most excited for this polish and it's just as vampy as I thought.

ILNP Caramel

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Studio Color polish from ILNP - today it's Caramel, which is a rich orange-brown polish. I wasn't originally feeling this color but it's such a beautiful fall color.

ILNP Rosewood

Recently, ILNP released a 4-set of their new Studio Color polishes as their Fall Serenade Bundle. This line is made of highly pigmented solid-colored cremes - perfect for anyone starting out with some staples. This is listed as a soft pink terracotta creme.

ILNP Mint Chip

Nothing To Disclose

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Remember the year that I did a bunch of green polishes leading up to the holiday? I should have done that again but at least I'm wearing green today! This is ILNP Mint Chip from their newest Something Sweet collection. It's a bright mint green polish with small black metallic flakes.

ILNP Tombstone

Nothing To Disclose
There have been a few brands over the years that I absolutely obsess over and want to own every single color that's released. ILNP is one of those brands and they consistently put out winners. Today I have Tombstone from their Haunted Collection 2021. This is a bone grey with copper metallic flakes and scattered holographic glitter.

ILNP Say Love

Nothing To Disclose
What a year it's been! I wanted to go out with some stunning Christmas type color so I grabbed ILNP Say Love, a red holo with microflakes. This is one of those that you never realize how amazing it is until it's on!

I started with Morgan Taylor ReactMAX Optical Brightener and went with 3 thin coats of polish. I could have probably only used 2 but it's been a hot minute since I've painted my nails and I'm shaky. I finished with Glisten and Glow top coat.

So my camera may be at the end of its life. I can't seem to take steady photos anymore, even when my camera is sitting stationary. I think part of it was damaged during the robbery but I just haven't wanted to make the change to a new camera yet.

However, this polish is amazing, seriously. It's got holo, it's got flakies, it's got magic.

You can purchase ILNP on their website. For more on ILNP, be sure to following their various social media platforms: Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.

ILNP Chateau

Nothing To Disclose
Why hello there friends. I started a new job on Friday and one of the things I really want to do is wear all the nail polish so today I decided to grab ILNP Chateau from the new Monarch collection which is sitting on my desk. This is a purple leaning grey with copper micro-flakes and holographic shimmer.

ILNP Ocean Ave

Nothing To Disclose
If you've been watching my Facebook, you know that I've finally gotten all my polishes into Helmers, purged nearly half of what I owned, and I'm working on swatch sticks and wanting to get back into blogging. The other big news in my life is that I'm welcoming Boy #3 next Monday (woo!) and while I'm excited, it is starting all over with a new baby which can be stressful and what not. I had painted my nails this past weekend for the first time in months and remembered how much I love painting so this time, I picked ILNP Ocean Ave from the summer 2019 "The Boardwalk" collection. This is a cerulean blue with copper microflakes and a bit of holo microflakes for added touch.

ILNP Fully Loaded

Nothing To Disclose
Call me a glutton for punishment but I decided I need another flakie to wear this week. When ILNP came out with flakies, I wasn't thrilled only because I hate layering polish. And yet here I am today with ILNP Fully Loaded, a green to violet iridescent flakie.

ILNP Versailles

Nothing To Disclose
There are a few brands that I'm very loyal to and today is one of them. I've bought almost every single ILNP polish that has ever come out and I'm only missing 17 from their entire line up of 383 polishes. There's just something magical about this line and I'm a huge fan. Today I'm trying out ILNP Versailles from the Spring 2017 collection.

ILNP After Party

Nothing To Disclose
Happy September! Will I see you at The Polish Convention later this month in Chicago? I'm so stoked about going especially because I'll be featuring items on Nail It's Instagram during the show! I'm trying to figure out if I want to just do a Story like I have in the past or a Story AND Live later that night? Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see.

ILNP Citrus Punch

Nothing To Disclose
If you've ever looked at my spreadsheet, you know that I have a LOT of ILNP polishes. I love them so much, from the beautiful packaging, the wide brush and then THE HOLO! Sometimes it's hard to capture on camera but in the sun? Oh man, the ILNP polishes are a showstopper.
