Nail Mail: ILNP Sale

Hi girls! Today I want to share with you some polishes I got from ILNP but I want to share it with you in a special way, in the style of Polish Hound Cait's Mail Time posts, where she takes pics of her incoming mail with her dog, Ham. I've been reading her blog for a while now and her posts with Ham are some of my favorites so I tried to do the same with my Pom (which didn't like to sit still for pics, so this was a real challenge LOL).

I placed this order during the last ILNP sale which happened around the first week of November. Some days later I got the shipping notice and from there, it was only a matter of patience. My polishes arrived finally on November 30th (which was odd, I never get mail on a Sunday). My new polishes came wrapped in the ILNP tissue paper and bubble-wrapped together inside.

I ordered mostly holos since I could never set my mind on the multichromes, but it's OK I already have some of them and I've been wanting a light blue and medium blue holo.

I ended up ordering (L-R): Music Box, Peace (H), Summer Stargazing and Atomic Sherbert. I'm in love with Music Box and Summer Stargazing, and look forward to wearing those. I'm a bit disappointed with Atomic Sherbert as I thought it'd be a bright orange holo, but it's still pretty.

I look forward to sharing with you manis featuring these shades in the future. Also, did you like the inclusion of my pup in these posts?

Thanks for reading!

ILNP Kings & Queens

Hola chicas! Hoy les traigo el primer ILNP que he usado de los que les mostré el otro día. El tono se llama Kings and Queens y es un morado medio con un fuerte efecto holográfico. Para las fotos usé dos capas de K&Q y no fue nada díficil de aplicar (como son algunos holos) y no usé top-coat. Me encantó este tono porque combina un fuerte efecto holográfico con un intenso color base (lo que es díficil de lograr en general). ILNP es una marca indie que lamentablemente no está disponible en Chile, pero la encuentran en su sitio oficial (envían a todo el mundo)

Hello girls! Today I'm sharing with you the first ILNP I wore and took pics of, the wonderful Kings & Queens. I don't have much words for it, so let's just go straight to the pictures...

Holy cow. Ahem. Kings and Queens is a fantastic warm, medium toned purple infused with a strong holographic effect. The formula was flawless and it was opaque in two easy coats and I skipped top coat, like I do for most of my holos.

I really can't think of anything wrong with this polish: the color is perfect, the formula is perfect, the holo flame is gorgeous. Yup. You need this one in your collection.

Holos are a tricky business, you generally have to choose between a strong holo effect and a intense color base, because the pigment used to get the holographic effect is silver colored. But ILNP nailed it with this shade (see what I did there?) because you get both, an intense holo flame and a gorgeous base color that shines through.

What is your favorite holo? Tell me in the comments :)
