I love ILNP polishes but I mostly like their business model. I really appreciate that they give people enough time to get their polishes. I don’t feel the FOMO anxiety that other companies rely on.
ILNP is far and away my favorite polish brand. I cannot believe the consistent quality they deliver for a lower cost than other indie brands. I own 25 and 12 of those were from my Black Friday order last year lol. For folks into multichromes -- ILNP's are elite and I appreciate that they offer both holo and non-holo versions of some of the multichrome colors. I have 46 polishes on my wishlist, and it'll be tough to decide what to prioritize for Black Friday.
seriously they’re SO good!! a titan in the industry imo. and omg yes apologies i didn’t have any multichrome recs lol but i do love that they have options too! omg i can’t wait to hear what your final haul will be 😍
@@TiffanyFord_13 If I remember correctly they did a 20% off site-wide sale last year for a week or two around Black Friday. And I think it's the only time each year that they do any kind of sale, so a good time to stock up if you're interested and have the funds to do it.
I reached out to INLP regarding sandbar because I could not get it to magnetize or stay magnetized. Their customer service let me exchange it with no questions asked. They said I should keep sandbar and see if it grows on me. Because of that ILNP is one of my favorite brands. Thanks for this effort. Going to wish list a few of the ones I do t have.
that’s so weird yours wasn’t even magnetizing 😮 thats amazing they let you exchange it though, i’ve heard great things about their customer service 🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching, would love to know whats on your wishlist! 😍
@@PolishedYogi my favorite too. It’s perfect. I can’t wait till they sell the horseshoe magnet. They asked if we would buy it and I replied yes asap! I hope it’s over the summer cause I live in Mexico during the year and they don’t send product to Mexico. Such a BUMMER. 😢
ILNP was the first "non-salon/drugstore" nail brand I tried, and they're still a favorite. Love their formula, their price, and the immense variety of shades/finishes. I also love how they curate their collections, even if I don't like all the colors, it's the whole 'vibe' of it...they just get it so right. I love these brand vids, it helps get me in the mood to make my list, and you had some great picks as always 😊I'm def. getting Fairy Dust, Misbehaving, and Hallucinate as those have been living rent-free in my head for awhile. Also have Midnight Kiss, Carrie, and topper Karma on the list. Note that this is only like a small, tentative portion, b/c I keep switching things up and my BF wishlist is endless, lol. I love the Summer Nights collection (Downtown and Pool Party are my faves), but I was disappointed a bit w/ Pink Flamingo. When Pixie Party came out I was like, that should've been Pink Flamingo! Do think you need to try their multichromes if you haven't! Cameo and Hush are my personal faves, super shifty they are.
i couldn’t agree more!! usually i feel super picky with collections where i only have 1-3 favorites, but ILNP makes me reconsider my tastes 🤣 but yay so glad you enjoyed this vid & will be picking up a few I mentioned too! omggg i forgot about Carrie, ugh wait that one is so pretty and now i cant decide between that and Joy, the new red 🙈 and haha i totally understand switching things up in your list! I actually ended up removing Downtown bc I looked up more swatches and it wasn’t as purple as the website pics. and someone mentioned its similar to Mooncat’s Curse of Calypso which i have/love so I think I can skip it. but dang what a shame about Pink Flamingo!! i’m super curious to try it now lol 🙈 and i knoww i always hear amazing things abt their multichromes, they look beautiful esp Hush, but I just know I wouldn’t wear them that often 😅
@@PolishedYogi see now I like Pink Flamingo. It’s so girly and soft and that’s funny cause I don’t really own a lot of sheer polishes. Enjoy your new polishes girls.
i have picked up so many ILNP polishes because of your videos!!! Last fall I treated myself to the whole Harvest collection after your video. I also got Showstopper,Lured, Hallucinate and Fairy Dust based in part on your videos. You have great lighting that shows the colors accurately and your comparisons are so helpful. I really appreciate that ILNP has creative collections and doesn't engage in FOMO marketing. ILNP also has a great member rewards program.
ahh thats so amazing to hear you grabbed all those! I hope you’ve been loving them all 🤩 and aw thank you soo much, that really means a lot 🥰🫶🏼 & same! i can’t remember if ILNP has ever done a LE release?? truly so refreshing compared to other boutique brands 😅
I bought Glass Candy and really love it for the brush quality. You started off strong with Fairy Dust which is my most favourite polish to date from ILNP. Also, I just want to say how much I appreciate these deep dive videos leading up to Black Friday sales. I need all the swatches to help me decide what to gift myself for Christmas 😅
i lovee their paddle brushes! i hope they’ll switch them in their other polishes. haha yess Fairy Dust is iconic! but yay thank you so much for the love on this video/series 🥰 would love to know what brands you’re looking to get this BF season!
I'm wearing ILNP right now - Be Mine, a red magnetic! Neon Rosebud is an awesome topper. LOVE. I also love that they ship so fast. I get that I'm going to have to wait awhile for an indie polish, but even among mainstream polishes, they get you your product super fast. I love seeing the polishes you like from them because they have so many!
oh I reallyy love Be Mine too!! 😍🍓✨ and ooo yeah they have an awesome selection of toppers, Neon Rosebud looks insane 🤯 and so true about their fast shipping!! i obviously love supporting small indie brands but man do i hate the 3 week turnaround time some of them have 🥲 so glad you enjoyed listening to me talk about my favs!! 🥰🫶🏼
My eyes LOVE these videos. My wallet...less so. Those flakey jellies look STUNNING!!! And love, love, love the wish list section!! I think this would be such a fun end of year video too. Like favorite collections from the brands I "bought" (obvs can include PR you get) from.
LOL i knoww making my own wishlist had me like 😩💸🙈 yess i’ve been thinking of that too!! like reviewing & maybe “ranking” collections from each brand, essentially like a tier list video lol. I think I have a decent amount of Dec content planned but i’ll try it out at least to see if people would love to see that as a mini series in Jan!
ILNP is my favorite. I found them on my own looking for holo nail polish years ago. It was love at first sight. The reviews were amazing and well deserved. ILNP is an amazing polish. I have their base and top, and I love those as well. I think I have every color you picked. One thing I love about ILNP ove Holo Taco is you can just remove it. Holo Taco is hard to get off because of the large glitters. ILNP looks just as, if not more holo without that problem. I dont know how they so it. But I'm happy they do. Most ILNP polishes remove just like a regular nail polish. No problem. Love this video.
i’m so glad you’re a huge ILNP fan! they really are amazing & definitely one of the best boutique brands on the market 🤩 so fun to hear you have everything I shared too! and oh yeah I don’t think ILNP has any like true metallic glitter polishes right? they usually have very fine shimmers or microflakes, that definitely works in their favor when it comes to removal 😅 I’m glad you loved this video!
I am super excited for their holiday collection! I recently painted Deep Space and I normally stay away from magnetics but this one was like wow! Plus I have painted as manis and in nail art their summer arcade collection which I just loved!
yayy it really is a cute & cozy collection!! 🧣☕️🌲 & thats so exciting you’ve been loving Deep Space, it really is so cool! 🌌 oh yeah the Arcade collection was a cool lineup especially for nail art! i loved the contrast of the neons with the black
Ilnp is my favorite because of their evocative, amazingly-realized themes- I look forward to each collection so much even if I don’t pick any of them up (at least at first!) I really like the glassier finish on their crèmes; the arcade cremes were awesome in my opinion! Their Ultra Chromes are the best multichromes too, especially Eclipse and Birefringence. The Winter Resort collection is so good- I was really impressed with Aspen and completely blown away by Reign!! If you like those jellies with dense holo, Diablo is another good one, very hot smokey shade for summer.
I've gotten back into nail polish about two years ago, and in that time ILNP has become my favourite brand. I love everything I have from them! Also, I have never commented before, but have been watching you for a while now. You've gotten more natural in front of the camera compared to earlier videos, and it's really fun to see! One of the reasons I love your reviews are your comparisons, and I really hope ILNP starts sending you their collections again!
so glad they’re one of your favorites too! they really are amazing 🤩 and aw omg thank you for that!! 🥹 i definitely have felt that too, i would occasionally check back on older videos and almost cringe at myself LOL 🙈 tho to be fair i still cringe now 🤣 its been a fun journey, thank you so, so much for being here :) & ahh i hope so tooo!! 🤞🏼
Their Summer Nights collection is honestly one of my all time favs, but what you really need from that one is Pool Party! It’s honestly sooooo incredible. Skate Date is beautiful too and Pink Flamingo is also in my top 3 for that collection. Sweet Pea is also their iconic cool toned jelly polish. It’s amazing Mega X is amazing if you need a silver holographic, Rosewater is also super iconic For metallics - Daydreamer is a beautiful pink, Time in a Bottle is a beautiful blue
omg is Pool Party one that looks better irl? idk why the swatch photos just don’t have me 🤩🤩 like the other shades lol! but omg yes i always hear about Sweet Pea too, i’m just nervous it’ll be TOO sheer for me so i’ll hold off for now, but would love to try it eventually. the rest you mentioned are super beautiful too, i appreciate you sharing them!! no surprise Daydreamer is my fav but Time in a Bottle looks mesmerizinggg 🤩✨
Hilariously, my most recent ILNP order showed up during your awesome review! In my order....AMBER! 😂 I just swatched it without a base colour, then with Orly's By The Campfire as a base. I love it so much! It's great to experience it live as you were talking about it, even tho it's not your fav. I liked it better with the base colour myself, looks like dimensional butterscotch!
omgg lmao thats too funny! 🙈 oo i can see it being super beautiful over that Orly!! 🤩 yeah idk why I just didn’t love it, I usually love orange polishes so I might have to give that one another try! calling it dimensional butterscotch is definitely winning me back over lol 🤤
I have Amber and I wore it magnetized. Maybe it was a bit sheer but I didnt really notice, but I also have a short free edge. I really want Elsa, maybe Fawn, and a handful of shimmers. So far I am deeply in love with their magnetics. I dont prefer a sharp line so I only magnetized for 20 or so seconds, and my nails ended up like jewels! I wore Poison in this style for all of my nails for Halloween and I was so in love!!! Imagine if they release more jewel toned magnetics, and having a whole manicure that looks like literal jewels!
i think my nails were considerably shorter when I first swatched it so maybe i just did super thin coats? i’m not sure but it just didnt wow me and i never reached for it again, i really should give it another chance! oh Elsa is soo pretty!! and YAY i’m soo glad you also have been loving their magnetics 🤩🤩 yess I would LOVE a deep royal purple magnetic! truly he perfect jewel tone shades! ✨✨
The Winter Resort collection is what broke me down and made me a nail girlie. I had 4 polishes I rotated through for special occasions but that was it. I triggered the algorithm into showing me swatch videos when I tried to understand the purpose of a base coat. Winter resort reviews popped up shortly afterward and it ended up being my first full collection I purchased when Black Friday swung around. Then I bought the holo taco shimmers and now it's all I think about :) Hex and Up and Above are on my wishlist this time around. And I found out there's an older shade called Lulu so now I have to get that because it's meeee!
it’s a collection that has lived rent-free in my mind for years, i’m SO excited to finally grab it lol ! yay for Hex and Up Above being on your list this year, they’re super gorg, but omg Lulu is SO pretty!!! definitely a must have for you hehe 💜✨
Try Sandbar over a creme and see if that works for you. I have a few sheer magnetics from other brands and did not like them until I did them over solid shades. Also no ILNP collection is complete without Eclipse and Mega!!!!!
yeah a few people have recommended trying Sandbar and other jelly magnetics essentially as a topper! i’ve yet to try it but i should 😅 and omg yes those 2 are iconic! lets ignore the fact that i don’t have either 🤣
Yay! I am digging this series!💃🏿 Fairy Dust (❤️❤️) Hallucinate (❤️) Autumn (❤❤) Lore, Hex,Up Above (❤❤) Riding Waves (❤❤) Play Date, Compass, Enchantment, Fawn are my top favorites! I like polishes that are sheer- thank you for telling me ILNP’s are mostly like that! I never really go on their site. I will now❤ 😮😮 the Winter Resort collection is beautiful!! Ahh! Opal Sunset, Downtown and Pink Flamingo are stunning! I have to check out ILNP. Bloodline, Set Sail(❤) and Vanity are stunning! I loved this video and saved it (with the other videos💃🏿)
yayyy!! 💃🏻💃🏻 i’m so glad you loved those shades too 🥰 and yess I feel like i’ve seen a few people say they haven’t tried ILNP bc they hate that they’re sheer/need 3 coats and i’m like 🤯 you’re missing out!! RIGHT that winter resort collection is so freaking pretty!! I do really like this years too lol i think they put out some of my fav winter collections 🤩 can’t wait to hear if you end up trying them out!! 🤗🤗
i'm 8 months late to this party haha. love a best of [brand] series! a lot of your faves are on my wishlist currently, you have great taste 😛 a lot of my buying has been going to LE PPU or HHC stuff, but i love that ILNP is always here for me with it's gorgeous shades and finishes; i love their business model.
and i’m so late to responding! 🤣 but so glad you love this idea, I can’t wait to do it again this year! but i don’t want to repeat myself too much 🙈 definitely makes sense to prioritize shopping the LE pre-orders! even tho yeah a lot of brands still do LE collections, ILNP is the best for NOT doing that 😌
I finally made my first ilnp purchase and Sandbar is a winner to me! I did put a solid nude base coat under it so there were no issues seeing it magnetized. But I also love it very sheer, I’m a your nails but better kid of person. It looks exactly like the sparkly bubbles over shallow warm sand.
yayy congrats on your first ILNP !! 🥳 yeah a lot of people really love Sandbar so I feel like I have the unpopular opinion haha but i definitely should try it over a nude base too! i do love a sheer ynbb look too but maybe that shade wasn’t the most flattering to me, i usually go for the milky pinks!
Love your picks!!! ❤ ILNP is def one of my favorite brands. I have so many, I don't even know what I have 😳 so I gotta double check my wishlist or I might buy dupes lol. My favs are the Harvest collection: the whole thing. Golden Hour collection, again.. all of them. Trapped collection.. all. Bottoms Up, Blueprint, Bulletproof Symphony, legacy, open fields, eclipse, salem... i could go on 😅
so happy to hear, thank you!! 🥰 and omg thats so impressive, I envy your collection hehe 🤩 that would be kind of funny if you did end up buying some dupes lol. those collections seriously were soo pretty! YES to Bottoms Up!! 🩱 and omg wait Bulletproof Symphony is gooorgeous! that & Salem are my favs that you mentioned but they’re all stunning!! 🤩🤩✨
Thanks so much for this video! ILNP is the only brand I purchase and I LOVE their annual sale. I'm scrambling to finalize my shopping cart and I've just added a few more based on your reviews and swatches. 2-3 coats of any ILNP with a Seche Vie topcoat and I have NEVER had chipping, sometimes going as long as 3 weeks (though I typically repaint at 10-12 days). I've been a nail polish fanatic since the 80s (I'm old 😉) and ILNP wears on my natural nails as if they're acrylics. And something about their formula really makes my nails super strong. Haven't broken a nail since January and yes, I clean house, wash dishes and change bedsheets! Lol! I just love stocking up and trying new colors. Thanks again and happy holidays!!! 💅💅💅
I need to make an ILNP order, my two favorites are Caesar & Heirloom, both are unusual colors, I think. Also, Bulletproof Symphony is super pretty. Then that whole Harvest collection from 2022. That collection is perfect.
Oh those look soo cool!! I hope you get them whenever they start their BF sale 🤩 and yess I’ve actually added Bulletproof Symphony to my wishlist after a few recs lol 🙈 so stunning!! And I could not agree more about the Harvest collection, I will never shut up about how good it was lol 🤩
Im wearing Paradise and it is sooo good. Definitely a favorite of mine. Wish list: Ariel, high dive, cookie cutter,.sled day, bear hug, high score, rosewood, good vibes, dakota, deep end, riding waves.
ahh i need to try Paradise again, it felt too much of a holiday green when it first launched in summer lol 🎄 what a gorgeous wishlist though!! i was familiar with all except Good Vibes & Deep End, and WOW those are soo pretty! 🤩
I really did enjoy your ILNP video, Stefanie. I love ILNP! Their polishes are always superb for the most part. Personally I have never been let down by any polish I have ever ordered from them! I loved your wishlist choices, too. I am always amazed by how much our color interests are so similar. In fact, I am adding quite a few of your wishlist choices to my wishlist! So thank you for sharing this with us. I have decided to go back and re-watch your videos on the magnetic collections you covered. I’ve finally warmed up to magnetic! Who knows? I may even thaw out about reflective, too! But I really don’t think so…Anyway, I have so many choices to make for Black Friday! Your video has been a great help and a good reminder for this purpose! Thank you, Stefanie!🍂🍁💛🧡🤎♥️💜💙🖤
aw thank you Susan, so glad you loved this and love ILNP! oh please share which ones you added to your wishlist!! 🤩 that’s so fun to hear you loved the ones i shared too hehe. and yayy i really hope you at least try one of their magnetics, they’re truly magical!! LOL coming around one finish at a time 😝 so glad you enjoyed this video Susan 🤗🤗💖💖
@@PolishedYogi I will when I complete my list. Your work with these videos really do help others to more fully enjoy and experience nail polishes, new finishes, even expand into new colors on the nail they may never have thought about wearing before. I know that preparing these videos is a labor of love but it is still LABOR! I just wanted to make sure you know your efforts are making a difference. I wasn’t crazy about the “cat eye” straight line through the magnetics. However when you and Kelli Marissa began showing the aura magnetizing that opened up a new polishing world to me! I think it’s beautiful! Also I am disabled- bed ridden and incapable of walking. So, of course, I am on disability which means I don’t have an enormous amount of financing capability when it comes to purchasing polishes…or anything for that matter! So I have to be judicious about what I purchase and I have to make sure I am purchasing not only a color I love but a finish as well. So you and others like you (though I am choosy!) are vital to my purchasing decisions! So, once again, thank you so much for all you do! I appreciate you more than I could ever adequately express! 🤗♥️💅
that means the world to me Susan, thank you so much! 🥹🤗 I really am so glad you’re warmed up to magnetics!! and i would like to think I’m picky with my tastes in polishes too, but sometimes its hard when they’re so pretty 🙈 some of my friends have suggested I do a “Purchase or Pass” series to talk a little more about collections that have released maybe after the initial hype dies down. i think it would be interesting too to see if my mind changes on any polishes! but I already try and share those thoughts in normal review videos so idk lol 🙈 but thank you again for all your support and your sweet comments Susan, they really mean the most! 🥰🤗🫂
ILNP got me started in polish late last year. I hope to add more this black friday. Vanity is a great fall purple. But my favorite by far is Better Days, which no one talks about. It's a beautiful deep denim blue with sparkle.
yay that’s so awesome! what are you hoping to add? so glad you like Vanity! and omg Better Days looks so gorgeous!! i saw that before but honestly i kinda wish it didnt have the gold flakies 🙈 it really is a beautiful blue though!
I agree with your recommendations! Lured especially surprised me because I'm not really a dark nail polish kind of person. However, there's something about the glimmer of holo in that deep base that is so special! Misbehaving is about the same color as life in plastic but it's not quite as jelly. HOWEVER the holo payoff is amazing and def wins. I would go with life in plastic if you want to do the layering with other jellies but misbehaving if you just want to wear it by itself!
so glad to hear that! 😁 yess for loving Lured too, it took me by surprise 🤩 and oh thats soo good to know about Misbehaving too, i’m surprised to hear its not as jelly as Life in Plastic 😮 appreciate you sharing that, makes me excited to see how I’ll like Misbehaving 🤩💖
So many beautiful recommendations from you. Thank you so much for showing us swatches of the polishes mentioned. Makes it so helpful to see what they actually look like on the nail and how they apply😊🫶🏼
Hi, I just wanted to say this video is an excellent guide! I find myself always seeing ads for ILNP polishes and getting too overwhelmed to choose. Ill for sure be using this in the future!
I hope you do a video of the polishes you buy for black friday. I heard they are coming out with another ilnp collection for black friday! Sad to hear ILNP took you off the PR list bc not many people i watch do ILNP swatches.
yess i def plan on doing that at least for ILNP since it’ll be a bigger haul lol! and what no way?? is it supposed to be their second winter collection, or one of the new bundles they’ve been doing? 🤔 i hope its discount eligible either way and they dont do what mooncat did last year lol. but agh i know, I hope they add me back on it sooner than later 🥲🤞🏼
What a great brand review and selection of favorites. I love this brand for (and now please don‘t laugh) their kind of mature approach to trends. For me any of their polishes work for work whereas other brands (which I love no less) have more „in your face“ polishes. So many of your choices are my favs as well. Just in October I wore Autumn and Hex. Also Hayride is a fav. Eclipse H is a favorite of mine (quelle surprise), Grand Entrance, Art District, Orbit and Endurance would be my favorite linear holo. 💖 and on my wishlist are Bundled Up, Legacy and Underground.
thank you so much Christine!! and I can see what you mean by that! they really have an elevated and elegant feel with a lot of their finishes and I appreciate that so much 🥰 hehe so glad we share a lot of favorites in common! ahh yes everyone speaks so highly of either Eclipse or Eclipse (h) and I totally understand why 🤩 wow Grand Entrance is beautiful! it reminds me so much of the recent Cosmos shade, Dark Matter but without the magnetic 😮 Art District is such a stunning purple!! i can’t seem to find Endurance, but I imagine its gorgeous! your wishlist polishes are sooo pretty too, i think my fav is Underground of the three! 🤩
Please pick up Pink Flamingo! I love it so much I bought that whole collection! The other polishes are very pretty, but I do recommend a blurring base coat underneath. I like that look the best! Thank you for your recommendations.
This video is well-timed since they always have a great Black Friday sale & your recommendations are great! My favorite ILNP is Aspen (II find myself wearing every January). Actually, the entire Winter Resort Collection. The color palette is so beautiful & cozy! Eclipse was my first ILNP & remains one of my favorite! I’ll certainly be adding Ruby, Lured & Hallucinate to my shopping list, thanks to you!
thank you so much Deborah!! i really appreciate that 😁 soo glad to hear Aspen / the Winter Resort is one of your favs too, makes me soo excited to get them 🤩 and omg yes i feel like i need to get Eclipse, it feels as iconic as Fairy Dust, Autumn etc and was like the original lol! but maybe not this time around 🙈 so excited you’ll be grabbing Ruby, Lured and Hallucinate though, yay!! 🤩💃🏻
word of warning about downtown, their promo pics requires like 4-5 coats to achieve the same look. It does make a good topper though. Love your videos as always!!
Ahh yes I got a few other comments about that and so I’ve taken it off my wishlist, I usually am fine with sheer shades but looking up more swatches cemented the fact the color isn’t doing it for me anymore 🥲 plus someone mentioned it’s basically the shimmer version of Mooncat’s Curse of Calypso which I already love 😅 thank you for looking out though, appreciate it so much as well as your support!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰
I loved hearing you talk about those winter collections. I got Snow Angel and it's one of my favourite polishes ever, it's beautifully angelic looking (lol) on its own and great to layer over other colours. I'm getting Smitten next and possibly eventually Elsa too. ILNP was the first indie nail polish brand I tried since it's easy to get through Harlow & Co in Canada without paying crazy high prices, and now I have 8 bottles so far! Birthday Suit is another favourite. My shopping cart right now has Pine, either Fir Coat/Cheers (can't decide lol), Spaced Out, Smitten, and the magnetic wand because my best friend bought me Shooting Star last month
snow angel is precious!! i haven’t thought of layering it over other colors though, that sounds so fun! omg yes Smitten & Elsa are absolute stunners too!! i’m so glad ILNP is available to you thru Harlow & Co
@@PolishedYogi I'm currently wearing Snow Angel layered over Cirque's Lavender Sky, one of my favourite combos! I also wore it over ombre french to add a bit of something extra recently! :)
Woohoo!!😍 Such a perfect video!! Love all of these!! Some of my favs are Fairy Dust, Fawn, Hi-Score and Rosewood! So glad you included them! I meow have to have Up Above and Confetti 🎉! Thank you so much for being so thorough and including swatches! I definitely want the same new ones on your wishlist- Joy, Forest Drive and Bear Hug 🐻 what a sweet name. Also need Bloodline lol I had a few recommendations- polishes you didn’t mention that I love- Rainshower, Full Moon, Juliette, Legacy, Empire, Birefringence, and honestly one of my favorite polishes I own, Bulletproof Symphony. Also Love Trick or Treat- not sure if it’s up your alley lol Thank you for an awesome video!!!
yayy so glad you enjoyed these!! 😁 and so awesome we have a few favs in common too 😍 right I think bc i’m on this brown kick i’m SO excited for Bear Hug 🥹🧸 and ooo thank you for those recs!! i actually do have and loveee Juliette, it’s a shame i didnt include it int his video bc its iconic! and ahhh you’re the second person who’s reminded me of Bulletproof Symphony and its now on my wishlist 🙈 Trick or Treat def is cute! i just think its a little too similar to Carved or Pumpkin Patch to justify getting it 😝 but u appreciate you sharing your recs soo much!
@@PolishedYogi Lol I hear you! About Trick or Treat. The difference for me it’s more of a silver flake look than the gold, but my favorite color is orange so I’m a nut about it 🤦🏻♀️😂 Yeah! Gorgeous choices! 🥰 Definitely get Bulletproof Symphony when you can, it’s incredible! Thanks again for an awesome vid 💕💪
It’s like you read my mind by posting this video! I am going to be picking up a couple of ILNP polishes for the first time on Black Friday - branching out from holo taco for once. I definitely had some of the ones you mentioned on my wishlist. A few others on my wishlist are shooting star (magnetic), smitten, Elsa & I’m still on the lookout for more. Thanks for the great videos! Been loving your favourites series as well
haha yay talk about perfect timing 😁 soo exciting to hear it’ll be your first ILNP haul!! 🤩 so glad you loved the ones i shared and are planning to pick up a few, i also really love the others you mentioned!! lmk if you end up finding more you’ll be grabbing hehe thanks so much for your support!! 🤗🥰🫶🏼
Great video Stefanie. I’m glad you added visuals and swatches this time. I wish you did the same with the Mooncat video. I’m wearing Hallucinate right now 😍 and it’s phenomenal. Lately my favorite ILNP polishes have been Carved and Ariel. Their Harvest collection is to die for, but it is missing a yellow color so I usually use Sunglow for a skittle manicure with my favorite picks from the collection and it looks AMAZING! Will you please do your favorite OLIVE AVE video next? I am building a wish list for Black Friday and your video would be very helpful. As always appreciate you and your content so much. Thank you! 💕
thank you soo much Alexia!! yeah I wish i had the time to reswatch the mooncats i shared for that video. so awesome you’re wearing Hallucinate right now, it truly is stunning! oh yeah I wish Hayride was more of a true yellow, i do think its a bit too similar to Pumpkin Patch but it’s still so pretty 🙈 but omg i wasn’t familiar with Sunglow and WOW 🤩 such a stunning gold! 🌽✨ Olive Ave will be coming in a couple weeks! i’m trying to get thru the boutique brands first (in between other planned videos) since they usually do their sales earlier, but I’m pretty sure OAP’s sale is closer to BF. I appreciate your patience though & am glad you’ll be looking forward to it! ☺️🫶🏼
ILNP is second in the number of polishes in my collection. If I had to choose only one brand to purchase polish from now on, it would be ILNP. They have great finishes, especially at their price point. Also, they keep collections in stock for quite a long time. I have Knitted and Aspen from the Resort Collection and highly recommend both. On my wishlist are Brownstone (hoping it will be comparable to Wildflower Happy Little Creatures), the entire NYE collection, Lucky One, and more multichrome flake toppers. I want all the multichrome flake toppers as they liven up any manicure 😊. If you layer Kaleidoscope over a darker green creme, it looks like a 🎄.
honestly i think I would agree about only purchasing from ILNP if i really had to choose one brand lol! so great to hear you love Knitted & Aspen, i can’t wait to try them!! ugh Brownstone looks GORG, love that collection too 🤤 NYE is so so fun! yeah they have such a huge selection of toppers too which I really love! omg Kaleidoscope looks so colorful and fun, genius to layer it over a pine green for an instant christmas tree mani 🥹🤩🎄
Im wearing Hallucinate right now lol! I love the contrast of warm and cool tones! I do find that there seems to be more red shimmer on the nails then it shows in the bottle or on the website. Magnetics are my favorite finish of polish. I have Amber and Poison by them. Amber is one of my favorite nail polishes I own, and the only nail polish I have ever dreamt about lol
omg love that!! 💜❤️✨ and yeah i can see what you mean about the shimmer, i personally like it tho lol. thats so funny you’ve dreamt about Amber omg 🤣 i’m glad you really love that one!
OMG Vanity is AMAZING. I’m a huge Prince fan and anything related or adjacent to Prince, especially if it’s purple, I have to buy. Vanity was his girlfriend and the lead singer of vanity 6. The color is STUNNING. On my wishlist are Skyline (I’m trying to find something similar to holo taco’s crystal skies bc I don’t want to pay shipping for one polish 😂), Black Orchid, Be Mine, Poison and… a gorgeous brown. I’m wearing Olivia right now!
Oh wow I had no idea!! My boyfriend is a big Prince fan (and purple lover hehe) so I’m excited to tell him/show him this shade! 💜 what a beautiful wishlist though, I love all those colors! I think Skyline might be a few shades too dark if you’re looking to dupe Crystal Skies.. Dusk to Dawn looks the closest color wise but is missing all that glitter, maybe it would work layered over/under a chunky silver glitter?? 🤔 but oh Olivia looks beautifullll too!! 🤩🤩
I've never spotted Riding the Waves; I need it. My studio colors - Retro Teal, Hi-Score and High Dive - are all opaque in 2 coats. Lured goes well with Retro Teal. I plan an ILNP splurge in late Nov.-early Dec. to buy Christmas presents once I get paid again. My sister fell in love with my Pixel Pink, so I want to get her a bottle. Pink Flamingo for a niece who loves the birds. My goth/emo niece likes dark reds, so I'm thinking Eclipse. She's going into radiology, so no magnetics. In my Wish list: Cosmos collection, Fairy Dust, 4 from Winter Wonderland collection, and the Summer Nights collection. I'd enjoy watching your haul, especially the Winter Resort collection. I really only started collecting in May. I love that ILNP keeps its shades around.
isn’t Riding Waves so good!! I’m glad you liked the Studio Colors you’ve tried so far! ooo i can totally see Lured and Retro Teal together 😍 those are such great polishes you’re planning to get your family!! so thoughtful 🥰 and YAY so exciting you have a big haul planned for yourself too, those are gonna be so gorgeous! i love that about them too 😁
thanks for the suggestions! ❤ fawn, hallucinate, and olive grove are definitely at the top of my list (though if im being honest with myself those three full collections are all tempting 😭). i know youre not as excited by multichromes but i loveee eclipse, mutagen, and birefringence - they were my gateway into indie polishes!
that Fairy Forest collection is 💯💯 but they all are tbh lol. and ahh i know EVERYONE always talks about Eclipse and i’m here like 🧍🏻♀️ lmaoo it definitely looks beautiful and has grown on me over the years, maybe next year i’ll pick it up! rn i’m content with mooncat’s Gates of Hell lol. but omg Mutagen looks so cool! and Birefringence is another that looks so worth the hype 🤩🤩
I just revisited their base and top coat. If you let them dry out a bit it becomes a glass powerhouse unlike some brands. Very unhappy with HT only offering Glossy taco with the crapy stringy mess when air hits it. And it looks like they aren’t bringing the Super Glossy Taco back either. I’m switching asap!
I am looking forward to their Black Friday sale, I’ve been building my wish list like all year lol. I have been really eying the Splashed and Harvest collections, I probably won’t get the whole collections just my faves. And also Fairy Dust, that is a must have. They make my favourite multichromes, which I know you are not a fan of but I’m wearing Eclipse right now and it was a perfect halloween mani. My first polishes from them were Funhouse and Blueprint, from the ultra metallic foil collection, they were my absolute obsession in like 2019-2020.
hahah yesss they def have one of the best sales!! and off of already amazing prices its such a no brainer to shop them lol. oh do let me know which shades you get from Harvest & Splashed!! yay to Fairy Dust hehe. and omg yes i always hear such amazing things about their multochromes!! they’ve been growing on me so maybe next year i’ll have a big multchrome haul 🤣 but wow Funhouse and Blueprint are insaaane 🤯 i can totally understand why you woudn’t wanna wear anything else!

I'm really into the cellophane ones you've mentioned, but have ultimately decided to go with mooncat's sale cus of being in the low-buy for so long! 🥺 I mean, it was still enjoyable to watch this! I really enjoy watching the promo swatches for the brand, but nothing has really pushed me for them.
i totally get that! it makes sense to be more excited for or prioritize mooncat since they’re pricey and rarely have sales. i’m glad you still enjoyed these though! hopefully they’ll come out with something that will encourage you to try them out in the future :)
2 years ago I had never even heard of ILNP and now it is one of my favs! I really love so many of their polishes. Of course the whole fall collection from 2022. I also adore sweater weather, snow angel, poppy, float on, the arcade collection, the Halloween collection for this year. Some I have on my wishlist include: pink flamingo, atomic sherbet, Emma, love language, Ruby, last call, spellbound, enchantment, zero degrees, nocturnal, fairy dust, pixy party, shooting star, Carrie, jinx, and shapeshifter. So not many at all! 😆😆😆
haha yeah once you discover ILNP it’s like diving in the deep end 🤩 LOL i lovee your wishlist, Atomic Sherbet is one I’ve had my eyes on for yearsss but the darker/vampy shades usually take priority during BF lol I really need to save it for a future haul 🙈 but wow Love Language looks stunninggg! that was the only one I wasn’t familiar with and now I’m obsessed too lol!
I was actually super dissapointed by downtown- the purple base didn't show up at all on my nails even in 4 coats so it was just a sheer iridescent topper, which is still ok but I already had a topper in a similar color. I much prefer Mooncats curse of calypso, which I think is a vibe dupe. Other than that I've loved ILNP polishes that I got though, I have a bunch of holo jellies on my wishlist! As well as eclipse and a couple from their newer collections
:0 omgg no way! ahh thats a bummer, i just looked up more swatches on insta and you’re totally right its so hard to see the purple :( ty for letting me know, I’m gonna skip that and stick to Curse of Calypso !! 🫶🏼 and yayy omg yeah Eclipse is so iconic, i’ve debated getting it but i think i prefer mooncat’s Gates of Hell 🙈
On the unicorn pee topic. ILNP released a topper named "The Magician" back in like 2017 and I think it had the same type of pigment used in Clarins 230. It was a limited release at the time. I still have the three bottles I bought back then.
Ohh, I forgot about Enchantment! I think I used Zero Degrees the most last winter! I really like ILNP, I don't know how they do these beautiful polishes at their price point, but I'm not complaining!
i knoww i think bc Enchantment was such a dark shade in the spring it was forgotten about lol 🥲 i can’t wait to use Zero Degrees again though! 🤩 and omg yeah i know right? i’ve been nervous about them increasing their prices, they seem like the only brand that hasnt done it yet and i hope it stays that way! 😅
I got the base and topcoats when they came out. I've been disappointed with Lockup...it is QUITE thick. I still have over two thirds of a bottle, was using it Sunday, and it is so thick that it was making string filaments from the bottle to my nail as I pulled the brush from the bottle. My favorite ILNP polish is Sandcastle. If you want to add a taupe neutral at some point Stephanie, I would definitely recommend it. I need to get another bottle so will check out some of your recs to round out a BF order. I love the Splash collection too, but Playdate is the only one I do NOT like. It's weird, but ILNP's pinks just don't do it for me (& surprise, I like Staycation lol).
omg that’s so weird your bottle was super thick! I hope you had emailed them about it because that doesn’t sound normal at all. and ooh yeah I don’t have a shade like that in my collection, its so pretty! I think my BF wishlist is already too big but I can def consider it in the future, theres still sooo many other shades i’d love to try haha. would love to know what you end up getting from them too! and omg no wayy lol do you not like their light/neutral pinks either? 😮 and I think Staycation has potential, I almost want to add in another green jelly just to make the color pop more!
My wish list: Skate Date, Lucky One, Opal Sunset, and you may have talked me into Compass and Confetti. I somehow justify more toppers as "not really another polish" even though they cost the same and take up the same space. Also maybe Hex. I know halloween is over but I wear blacks year round.
yeah they’re definitely similar but not exact dupes, I had compared them in my ILNP Fall Serenade video i think! Holo Taco is a lot more pink in color ☺️
Two piece is one of my all time favourite polishes, love a good hot pink. I am using the ILNP top coat now but I wouldn't buy it again, it doesn't help with longevity and is not as glossy as some other QDTCs. It's very obviously more dull when I use it side by side with my other top coat (olive ave) and has turned yellow in the bottle.
isnt it stunninggg!! 💖😎 and omg thats so weird! did you email them about it changing color or being dull? that definitely sounds like a faulty bottle 😬
Love ILNP! Their polishes have such amazing depth, and the formulas are always so easy to work with. Has anyone had problems with the rubber on their brush? On several of my older ones, the rubber has become sticky and leaves a black residue on my hands. I keep my polishes stored in a dark, cool place, so it’s not like it’s melting, LOL.
seriously suuuch a great brand!! and omg yes thats happened to my bottle of Juliette which i think is my oldest, I remember reading on reddit that it’s the softener leaking from the plastic, its essentially breaking down. it could also happen by accidentally getting acetone on it, but rubbing alcohol will remove the sticky layer, it just wont have the soft/matte finish anymore!
Thanks for tip, Stephanie! Love your videos! You can tell you put a lot of time and effort into them. Pinks and shimmers are also my jam, so I’m always looking forward to your videos. The comparisons are always so helpful too! Can’t wait for the next Best Of video!
girl me too lol 😩 i’m pretty sure its temporary but it still sucks 😝 and sadly no details yet, iirc last year their sale was around actual BF and not earlier like other brands, so i’m expecting the same!
I love ILNP polishes but I mostly like their business model. I really appreciate that they give people enough time to get their polishes. I don’t feel the FOMO anxiety that other companies rely on.
yesss this 1000% ! i also love their discounted pre-orders AND fast shipping 🙌🏼
@@PolishedYogi Yes! Their polishes are already reasonably priced so even if I'm not getting it on sale I'm not beating myself up too much lol
Fairy Dust is THAT GIRL!! I’m so obsessed with it.
It is even more beautiful in person.
She truly has everyone in a chokehold!!! 🧚♀️💜✨
ILNP is far and away my favorite polish brand. I cannot believe the consistent quality they deliver for a lower cost than other indie brands. I own 25 and 12 of those were from my Black Friday order last year lol. For folks into multichromes -- ILNP's are elite and I appreciate that they offer both holo and non-holo versions of some of the multichrome colors. I have 46 polishes on my wishlist, and it'll be tough to decide what to prioritize for Black Friday.
seriously they’re SO good!! a titan in the industry imo. and omg yes apologies i didn’t have any multichrome recs lol but i do love that they have options too! omg i can’t wait to hear what your final haul will be 😍
100% agree about their multichromes! I’ve tried multichromes from a few brands, and ILNP has my favorite formula by far
I'm new to this brand! What is their black Friday discount usually like?
@@TiffanyFord_13 If I remember correctly they did a 20% off site-wide sale last year for a week or two around Black Friday. And I think it's the only time each year that they do any kind of sale, so a good time to stock up if you're interested and have the funds to do it.
@@Motley14 thank you!!
I reached out to INLP regarding sandbar because I could not get it to magnetize or stay magnetized. Their customer service let me exchange it with no questions asked. They said I should keep sandbar and see if it grows on me. Because of that ILNP is one of my favorite brands. Thanks for this effort. Going to wish list a few of the ones I do t have.
that’s so weird yours wasn’t even magnetizing 😮 thats amazing they let you exchange it though, i’ve heard great things about their customer service 🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching, would love to know whats on your wishlist! 😍
Love that you included swatch footage this time! ❤ 💅
of course!! i wish i had time to do it for the mooncat vid but i’m doing my best for the rest of this series lol 🫶🏼
Amber is literally one of my favorite polishes!! It looks like honey and magnetized really well for me, I just LOVE it!
i’m so glad you love that one!! i might just have to try it again 🙈
@@PolishedYogi my favorite too. It’s perfect. I can’t wait till they sell the horseshoe magnet. They asked if we would buy it and I replied yes asap! I hope it’s over the summer cause I live in Mexico during the year and they don’t send product to Mexico. Such a BUMMER. 😢
ILNP was the first "non-salon/drugstore" nail brand I tried, and they're still a favorite. Love their formula, their price, and the immense variety of shades/finishes. I also love how they curate their collections, even if I don't like all the colors, it's the whole 'vibe' of it...they just get it so right. I love these brand vids, it helps get me in the mood to make my list, and you had some great picks as always 😊I'm def. getting Fairy Dust, Misbehaving, and Hallucinate as those have been living rent-free in my head for awhile. Also have Midnight Kiss, Carrie, and topper Karma on the list. Note that this is only like a small, tentative portion, b/c I keep switching things up and my BF wishlist is endless, lol.
I love the Summer Nights collection (Downtown and Pool Party are my faves), but I was disappointed a bit w/ Pink Flamingo. When Pixie Party came out I was like, that should've been Pink Flamingo! Do think you need to try their multichromes if you haven't! Cameo and Hush are my personal faves, super shifty they are.
i couldn’t agree more!! usually i feel super picky with collections where i only have 1-3 favorites, but ILNP makes me reconsider my tastes 🤣 but yay so glad you enjoyed this vid & will be picking up a few I mentioned too! omggg i forgot about Carrie, ugh wait that one is so pretty and now i cant decide between that and Joy, the new red 🙈
and haha i totally understand switching things up in your list! I actually ended up removing Downtown bc I looked up more swatches and it wasn’t as purple as the website pics. and someone mentioned its similar to Mooncat’s Curse of Calypso which i have/love so I think I can skip it. but dang what a shame about Pink Flamingo!! i’m super curious to try it now lol 🙈 and i knoww i always hear amazing things abt their multichromes, they look beautiful esp Hush, but I just know I wouldn’t wear them that often 😅
Mutagen is the best multichrome
@@PolishedYogi see now I like Pink Flamingo. It’s so girly and soft and that’s funny cause I don’t really own a lot of sheer polishes. Enjoy your new polishes girls.
i have picked up so many ILNP polishes because of your videos!!! Last fall I treated myself to the whole Harvest collection after your video. I also got Showstopper,Lured, Hallucinate and Fairy Dust based in part on your videos. You have great lighting that shows the colors accurately and your comparisons are so helpful. I really appreciate that ILNP has creative collections and doesn't engage in FOMO marketing. ILNP also has a great member rewards program.
ahh thats so amazing to hear you grabbed all those! I hope you’ve been loving them all 🤩 and aw thank you soo much, that really means a lot 🥰🫶🏼 & same! i can’t remember if ILNP has ever done a LE release?? truly so refreshing compared to other boutique brands 😅
Love Showstopper!!!!
I bought Glass Candy and really love it for the brush quality. You started off strong with Fairy Dust which is my most favourite polish to date from ILNP. Also, I just want to say how much I appreciate these deep dive videos leading up to Black Friday sales. I need all the swatches to help me decide what to gift myself for Christmas 😅
i lovee their paddle brushes! i hope they’ll switch them in their other polishes. haha yess Fairy Dust is iconic! but yay thank you so much for the love on this video/series 🥰 would love to know what brands you’re looking to get this BF season!
I'm wearing ILNP right now - Be Mine, a red magnetic! Neon Rosebud is an awesome topper. LOVE. I also love that they ship so fast. I get that I'm going to have to wait awhile for an indie polish, but even among mainstream polishes, they get you your product super fast. I love seeing the polishes you like from them because they have so many!
oh I reallyy love Be Mine too!! 😍🍓✨ and ooo yeah they have an awesome selection of toppers, Neon Rosebud looks insane 🤯 and so true about their fast shipping!! i obviously love supporting small indie brands but man do i hate the 3 week turnaround time some of them have 🥲 so glad you enjoyed listening to me talk about my favs!! 🥰🫶🏼
love how you put in the swatch footage as you talked about the nail polish!
so glad it was helpful! 😁
My eyes LOVE these videos. My wallet...less so. Those flakey jellies look STUNNING!!! And love, love, love the wish list section!! I think this would be such a fun end of year video too. Like favorite collections from the brands I "bought" (obvs can include PR you get) from.
LOL i knoww making my own wishlist had me like 😩💸🙈 yess i’ve been thinking of that too!! like reviewing & maybe “ranking” collections from each brand, essentially like a tier list video lol. I think I have a decent amount of Dec content planned but i’ll try it out at least to see if people would love to see that as a mini series in Jan!
ILNP is my favorite. I found them on my own looking for holo nail polish years ago. It was love at first sight. The reviews were amazing and well deserved. ILNP is an amazing polish. I have their base and top, and I love those as well. I think I have every color you picked. One thing I love about ILNP ove Holo Taco is you can just remove it. Holo Taco is hard to get off because of the large glitters. ILNP looks just as, if not more holo without that problem. I dont know how they so it. But I'm happy they do. Most ILNP polishes remove just like a regular nail polish. No problem. Love this video.
i’m so glad you’re a huge ILNP fan! they really are amazing & definitely one of the best boutique brands on the market 🤩 so fun to hear you have everything I shared too! and oh yeah I don’t think ILNP has any like true metallic glitter polishes right? they usually have very fine shimmers or microflakes, that definitely works in their favor when it comes to removal 😅 I’m glad you loved this video!
I am super excited for their holiday collection! I recently painted Deep Space and I normally stay away from magnetics but this one was like wow! Plus I have painted as manis and in nail art their summer arcade collection which I just loved!
yayy it really is a cute & cozy collection!! 🧣☕️🌲 & thats so exciting you’ve been loving Deep Space, it really is so cool! 🌌 oh yeah the Arcade collection was a cool lineup especially for nail art! i loved the contrast of the neons with the black
The winter resort collection is great! Snowstorm is one of my all time favorite polishes.
i cannot tell you HOW excited I am over that one but also the rest lol!! 😍😍😍
Ilnp is my favorite because of their evocative, amazingly-realized themes- I look forward to each collection so much even if I don’t pick any of them up (at least at first!) I really like the glassier finish on their crèmes; the arcade cremes were awesome in my opinion! Their Ultra Chromes are the best multichromes too, especially Eclipse and Birefringence.
The Winter Resort collection is so good- I was really impressed with Aspen and completely blown away by Reign!! If you like those jellies with dense holo, Diablo is another good one, very hot smokey shade for summer.
I do have their base and top coat which are pretty good. All those colors you picked are awesome
so glad you love them too!! and thank youu 🥰💖💖
Vanity is amazing! I reaaally love shockwave (h) and some of their other multichromes. Polishes like candleleight and fired up are amazing too!
I love Shockwave(H)! I paired it as a skittle with Deep Space and…ughhhh it’s the perfect galaxy!
oooh Shockwave (h) looks gorgeousss! probs my fav of the ones you mentioned 🤩🤩
I've gotten back into nail polish about two years ago, and in that time ILNP has become my favourite brand. I love everything I have from them!
Also, I have never commented before, but have been watching you for a while now. You've gotten more natural in front of the camera compared to earlier videos, and it's really fun to see! One of the reasons I love your reviews are your comparisons, and I really hope ILNP starts sending you their collections again!
so glad they’re one of your favorites too! they really are amazing 🤩
and aw omg thank you for that!! 🥹 i definitely have felt that too, i would occasionally check back on older videos and almost cringe at myself LOL 🙈 tho to be fair i still cringe now 🤣 its been a fun journey, thank you so, so much for being here :) & ahh i hope so tooo!! 🤞🏼
Loved hearing your wishlist! Can’t wait to get confetti.
thank you!! and omg yayyy for Confetti! 🌈✨🪅🎊
Their Summer Nights collection is honestly one of my all time favs, but what you really need from that one is Pool Party! It’s honestly sooooo incredible. Skate Date is beautiful too and Pink Flamingo is also in my top 3 for that collection.
Sweet Pea is also their iconic cool toned jelly polish. It’s amazing
Mega X is amazing if you need a silver holographic, Rosewater is also super iconic
For metallics - Daydreamer is a beautiful pink, Time in a Bottle is a beautiful blue
I agree about Summer Nights being one of their best collections ever. I think Drive In is my favorite, but they're all so good!
omg is Pool Party one that looks better irl? idk why the swatch photos just don’t have me 🤩🤩 like the other shades lol! but omg yes i always hear about Sweet Pea too, i’m just nervous it’ll be TOO sheer for me so i’ll hold off for now, but would love to try it eventually. the rest you mentioned are super beautiful too, i appreciate you sharing them!! no surprise Daydreamer is my fav but Time in a Bottle looks mesmerizinggg 🤩✨
I have autumn on my nails right now! ❤ My favorite ILNP is snow globe, light blue with gold flakes. I wear it every January!
yay mani twins!! 🍂✨ omg Snow Globe looks sooo cute 🥹 i might have to recreate that with some polishes i have come January lol! 🩵✨
Hilariously, my most recent ILNP order showed up during your awesome review! In my order....AMBER! 😂
I just swatched it without a base colour, then with Orly's By The Campfire as a base.
I love it so much! It's great to experience it live as you were talking about it, even tho it's not your fav. I liked it better with the base colour myself, looks like dimensional butterscotch!
omgg lmao thats too funny! 🙈 oo i can see it being super beautiful over that Orly!! 🤩 yeah idk why I just didn’t love it, I usually love orange polishes so I might have to give that one another try! calling it dimensional butterscotch is definitely winning me back over lol 🤤
I have Amber and I wore it magnetized. Maybe it was a bit sheer but I didnt really notice, but I also have a short free edge.
I really want Elsa, maybe Fawn, and a handful of shimmers. So far I am deeply in love with their magnetics. I dont prefer a sharp line so I only magnetized for 20 or so seconds, and my nails ended up like jewels! I wore Poison in this style for all of my nails for Halloween and I was so in love!!! Imagine if they release more jewel toned magnetics, and having a whole manicure that looks like literal jewels!
i think my nails were considerably shorter when I first swatched it so maybe i just did super thin coats? i’m not sure but it just didnt wow me and i never reached for it again, i really should give it another chance!
oh Elsa is soo pretty!! and YAY i’m soo glad you also have been loving their magnetics 🤩🤩 yess I would LOVE a deep royal purple magnetic! truly he perfect jewel tone shades! ✨✨
The Winter Resort collection is what broke me down and made me a nail girlie. I had 4 polishes I rotated through for special occasions but that was it. I triggered the algorithm into showing me swatch videos when I tried to understand the purpose of a base coat. Winter resort reviews popped up shortly afterward and it ended up being my first full collection I purchased when Black Friday swung around. Then I bought the holo taco shimmers and now it's all I think about :) Hex and Up and Above are on my wishlist this time around. And I found out there's an older shade called Lulu so now I have to get that because it's meeee!
it’s a collection that has lived rent-free in my mind for years, i’m SO excited to finally grab it lol ! yay for Hex and Up Above being on your list this year, they’re super gorg, but omg Lulu is SO pretty!!! definitely a must have for you hehe 💜✨
thank you for sharing! Adding several of these to my to-buy list including hex and enchantment
Of course!! Yay so exciting, you’re going to lovee those 🤩🤩✨
Try Sandbar over a creme and see if that works for you. I have a few sheer magnetics from other brands and did not like them until I did them over solid shades. Also no ILNP collection is complete without Eclipse and Mega!!!!!
yeah a few people have recommended trying Sandbar and other jelly magnetics essentially as a topper! i’ve yet to try it but i should 😅 and omg yes those 2 are iconic! lets ignore the fact that i don’t have either 🤣
My ILNP wishlist is huge! I definitely want that new collection. I plan on treating myself and grabbing it.
yesss treat yourself! 🎁🫶🏼
Yay! I am digging this series!💃🏿
Fairy Dust (❤️❤️) Hallucinate (❤️) Autumn (❤❤) Lore, Hex,Up Above (❤❤) Riding Waves (❤❤) Play Date, Compass, Enchantment, Fawn are my top favorites!
I like polishes that are sheer- thank you for telling me ILNP’s are mostly like that! I never really go on their site. I will now❤
😮😮 the Winter Resort collection is beautiful!! Ahh! Opal Sunset, Downtown and Pink Flamingo are stunning! I have to check out ILNP.
Bloodline, Set Sail(❤) and Vanity are stunning!
I loved this video and saved it (with the other videos💃🏿)
yayyy!! 💃🏻💃🏻 i’m so glad you loved those shades too 🥰 and yess I feel like i’ve seen a few people say they haven’t tried ILNP bc they hate that they’re sheer/need 3 coats and i’m like 🤯 you’re missing out!!
RIGHT that winter resort collection is so freaking pretty!! I do really like this years too lol i think they put out some of my fav winter collections 🤩 can’t wait to hear if you end up trying them out!! 🤗🤗
i'm 8 months late to this party haha. love a best of [brand] series! a lot of your faves are on my wishlist currently, you have great taste 😛
a lot of my buying has been going to LE PPU or HHC stuff, but i love that ILNP is always here for me with it's gorgeous shades and finishes; i love their business model.
and i’m so late to responding! 🤣 but so glad you love this idea, I can’t wait to do it again this year! but i don’t want to repeat myself too much 🙈
definitely makes sense to prioritize shopping the LE pre-orders! even tho yeah a lot of brands still do LE collections, ILNP is the best for NOT doing that 😌
Such a great video!!! So many polishes that I don’t own that I now know I need. Thanks for this video, Stefanie!!!!!
ahh thanks soo much Brandi!! 🥰 i can’t wait to see your BF haul 🤩🛍️
I finally made my first ilnp purchase and Sandbar is a winner to me! I did put a solid nude base coat under it so there were no issues seeing it magnetized. But I also love it very sheer, I’m a your nails but better kid of person. It looks exactly like the sparkly bubbles over shallow warm sand.
yayy congrats on your first ILNP !! 🥳 yeah a lot of people really love Sandbar so I feel like I have the unpopular opinion haha but i definitely should try it over a nude base too! i do love a sheer ynbb look too but maybe that shade wasn’t the most flattering to me, i usually go for the milky pinks!
Love your picks!!! ❤ ILNP is def one of my favorite brands. I have so many, I don't even know what I have 😳 so I gotta double check my wishlist or I might buy dupes lol. My favs are the Harvest collection: the whole thing. Golden Hour collection, again.. all of them. Trapped collection.. all. Bottoms Up, Blueprint, Bulletproof Symphony, legacy, open fields, eclipse, salem... i could go on 😅
so happy to hear, thank you!! 🥰 and omg thats so impressive, I envy your collection hehe 🤩 that would be kind of funny if you did end up buying some dupes lol. those collections seriously were soo pretty! YES to Bottoms Up!! 🩱 and omg wait Bulletproof Symphony is gooorgeous! that & Salem are my favs that you mentioned but they’re all stunning!! 🤩🤩✨
Thanks so much for this video! ILNP is the only brand I purchase and I LOVE their annual sale. I'm scrambling to finalize my shopping cart and I've just added a few more based on your reviews and swatches. 2-3 coats of any ILNP with a Seche Vie topcoat and I have NEVER had chipping, sometimes going as long as 3 weeks (though I typically repaint at 10-12 days). I've been a nail polish fanatic since the 80s (I'm old 😉) and ILNP wears on my natural nails as if they're acrylics. And something about their formula really makes my nails super strong. Haven't broken a nail since January and yes, I clean house, wash dishes and change bedsheets! Lol! I just love stocking up and trying new colors. Thanks again and happy holidays!!! 💅💅💅
aw thank you so much for this comment!!
I need to make an ILNP order, my two favorites are Caesar & Heirloom, both are unusual colors, I think. Also, Bulletproof Symphony is super pretty. Then that whole Harvest collection from 2022. That collection is perfect.
Oh those look soo cool!! I hope you get them whenever they start their BF sale 🤩 and yess I’ve actually added Bulletproof Symphony to my wishlist after a few recs lol 🙈 so stunning!! And I could not agree more about the Harvest collection, I will never shut up about how good it was lol 🤩
Im wearing Paradise and it is sooo good. Definitely a favorite of mine. Wish list: Ariel, high dive, cookie cutter,.sled day, bear hug, high score, rosewood, good vibes, dakota, deep end, riding waves.
ahh i need to try Paradise again, it felt too much of a holiday green when it first launched in summer lol 🎄 what a gorgeous wishlist though!! i was familiar with all except Good Vibes & Deep End, and WOW those are soo pretty! 🤩
I really did enjoy your ILNP video, Stefanie. I love ILNP! Their polishes are always superb for the most part. Personally I have never been let down by any polish I have ever ordered from them! I loved your wishlist choices, too. I am always amazed by how much our color interests are so similar. In fact, I am adding quite a few of your wishlist choices to my wishlist! So thank you for sharing this with us. I have decided to go back and re-watch your videos on the magnetic collections you covered. I’ve finally warmed up to magnetic! Who knows? I may even thaw out about reflective, too! But I really don’t think so…Anyway, I have so many choices to make for Black Friday! Your video has been a great help and a good reminder for this purpose! Thank you, Stefanie!🍂🍁💛🧡🤎♥️💜💙🖤
aw thank you Susan, so glad you loved this and love ILNP! oh please share which ones you added to your wishlist!! 🤩 that’s so fun to hear you loved the ones i shared too hehe. and yayy i really hope you at least try one of their magnetics, they’re truly magical!! LOL coming around one finish at a time 😝 so glad you enjoyed this video Susan 🤗🤗💖💖
@@PolishedYogi I will when I complete my list. Your work with these videos really do help others to more fully enjoy and experience nail polishes, new finishes, even expand into new colors on the nail they may never have thought about wearing before. I know that preparing these videos is a labor of love but it is still LABOR! I just wanted to make sure you know your efforts are making a difference. I wasn’t crazy about the “cat eye” straight line through the magnetics. However when you and Kelli Marissa began showing the aura magnetizing that opened up a new polishing world to me! I think it’s beautiful! Also I am disabled- bed ridden and incapable of walking. So, of course, I am on disability which means I don’t have an enormous amount of financing capability when it comes to purchasing polishes…or anything for that matter! So I have to be judicious about what I purchase and I have to make sure I am purchasing not only a color I love but a finish as well. So you and others like you (though I am choosy!) are vital to my purchasing decisions! So, once again, thank you so much for all you do! I appreciate you more than I could ever adequately express! 🤗♥️💅
that means the world to me Susan, thank you so much! 🥹🤗 I really am so glad you’re warmed up to magnetics!! and i would like to think I’m picky with my tastes in polishes too, but sometimes its hard when they’re so pretty 🙈 some of my friends have suggested I do a “Purchase or Pass” series to talk a little more about collections that have released maybe after the initial hype dies down. i think it would be interesting too to see if my mind changes on any polishes! but I already try and share those thoughts in normal review videos so idk lol 🙈 but thank you again for all your support and your sweet comments Susan, they really mean the most! 🥰🤗🫂
ILNP got me started in polish late last year. I hope to add more this black friday.
Vanity is a great fall purple. But my favorite by far is Better Days, which no one talks about. It's a beautiful deep denim blue with sparkle.
yay that’s so awesome! what are you hoping to add?
so glad you like Vanity! and omg Better Days looks so gorgeous!! i saw that before but honestly i kinda wish it didnt have the gold flakies 🙈 it really is a beautiful blue though!
i have bloodline!! definitely such a good polish
yayyy i love hearing that lol! my wishlist has already changed since uploading this but Bloodline is staying 💯💯
watching while shopping the sale! thanks for all the recommendations and thoughts!!
omg that’s amazing, thank you!! would love to know what you ended up getting 😁
I agree with your recommendations! Lured especially surprised me because I'm not really a dark nail polish kind of person. However, there's something about the glimmer of holo in that deep base that is so special!
Misbehaving is about the same color as life in plastic but it's not quite as jelly. HOWEVER the holo payoff is amazing and def wins. I would go with life in plastic if you want to do the layering with other jellies but misbehaving if you just want to wear it by itself!
so glad to hear that! 😁 yess for loving Lured too, it took me by surprise 🤩 and oh thats soo good to know about Misbehaving too, i’m surprised to hear its not as jelly as Life in Plastic 😮 appreciate you sharing that, makes me excited to see how I’ll like Misbehaving 🤩💖
So many beautiful recommendations from you. Thank you so much for showing us swatches of the polishes mentioned. Makes it so helpful to see what they actually look like on the nail and how they apply😊🫶🏼
so glad you enjoyed!! 🥰🥰🫶🏼
Hi, I just wanted to say this video is an excellent guide! I find myself always seeing ads for ILNP polishes and getting too overwhelmed to choose. Ill for sure be using this in the future!
hii! omg yay i’m so glad you found this super helpful, definitely let me know what you end up trying from them whenever it happens! 😁
Lured and confetti are two of my favs. For an iridescent topper you should get ball drop. It has tiny multicolored iridescent flakies. Very unique.
yasss so glad you love those too!! and omg i always forget about Ball Drop 🙈 i should wear it more often, it really is super pretty!
I hope you do a video of the polishes you buy for black friday. I heard they are coming out with another ilnp collection for black friday! Sad to hear ILNP took you off the PR list bc not many people i watch do ILNP swatches.
yess i def plan on doing that at least for ILNP since it’ll be a bigger haul lol! and what no way?? is it supposed to be their second winter collection, or one of the new bundles they’ve been doing? 🤔 i hope its discount eligible either way and they dont do what mooncat did last year lol. but agh i know, I hope they add me back on it sooner than later 🥲🤞🏼
@@PolishedYogi livwithbiv Brandi said ilnps black friday release is new colors and she has seen them and said they are stunning!
I’ve only tried a topper but definitely want to try more from them.
omg you totally should!! they’re amazing 🤩
@@PolishedYogi now to decide what to get. To many pretty ones.
I haven't bought from ILNP since 2020 so my wishlist is huge. Definitely shopping this black friday.
ahhh exciting!! whats on your wishlist? 🛍️
What a great brand review and selection of favorites. I love this brand for (and now please don‘t laugh) their kind of mature approach to trends. For me any of their polishes work for work whereas other brands (which I love no less) have more „in your face“ polishes. So many of your choices are my favs as well. Just in October I wore Autumn and Hex. Also Hayride is a fav. Eclipse H is a favorite of mine (quelle surprise), Grand Entrance, Art District, Orbit and Endurance would be my favorite linear holo. 💖 and on my wishlist are Bundled Up, Legacy and Underground.
thank you so much Christine!! and I can see what you mean by that! they really have an elevated and elegant feel with a lot of their finishes and I appreciate that so much 🥰 hehe so glad we share a lot of favorites in common! ahh yes everyone speaks so highly of either Eclipse or Eclipse (h) and I totally understand why 🤩 wow Grand Entrance is beautiful! it reminds me so much of the recent Cosmos shade, Dark Matter but without the magnetic 😮 Art District is such a stunning purple!! i can’t seem to find Endurance, but I imagine its gorgeous! your wishlist polishes are sooo pretty too, i think my fav is Underground of the three! 🤩
Thank you for sharing your favorites!! 😊 So many beauties to choose from. 😵💫
of course!! so happy you enjoyed ☺️
I want them all now. My next collection is the Reflection Collection
Please pick up Pink Flamingo! I love it so much I bought that whole collection! The other polishes are very pretty, but I do recommend a blurring base coat underneath. I like that look the best! Thank you for your recommendations.
okok i will!! 😝 yeah i really need to get a blurring base coat! do you have one you recommend? I was hoping to grab one or two from PFD
This vid is really helping me curate my Black Friday wishlist!
so glad you’re finding it helpful!! would love to know whats on your wishlist 🤩
This video is well-timed since they always have a great Black Friday sale & your recommendations are great!
My favorite ILNP is Aspen (II find myself wearing every January). Actually, the entire Winter Resort Collection. The color palette is so beautiful & cozy! Eclipse was my first ILNP & remains one of my favorite!
I’ll certainly be adding Ruby, Lured & Hallucinate to my shopping list, thanks to you!
thank you so much Deborah!! i really appreciate that 😁 soo glad to hear Aspen / the Winter Resort is one of your favs too, makes me soo excited to get them 🤩 and omg yes i feel like i need to get Eclipse, it feels as iconic as Fairy Dust, Autumn etc and was like the original lol! but maybe not this time around 🙈 so excited you’ll be grabbing Ruby, Lured and Hallucinate though, yay!! 🤩💃🏻
word of warning about downtown, their promo pics requires like 4-5 coats to achieve the same look. It does make a good topper though. Love your videos as always!!
Ahh yes I got a few other comments about that and so I’ve taken it off my wishlist, I usually am fine with sheer shades but looking up more swatches cemented the fact the color isn’t doing it for me anymore 🥲 plus someone mentioned it’s basically the shimmer version of Mooncat’s Curse of Calypso which I already love 😅 thank you for looking out though, appreciate it so much as well as your support!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰
I loved hearing you talk about those winter collections. I got Snow Angel and it's one of my favourite polishes ever, it's beautifully angelic looking (lol) on its own and great to layer over other colours. I'm getting Smitten next and possibly eventually Elsa too. ILNP was the first indie nail polish brand I tried since it's easy to get through Harlow & Co in Canada without paying crazy high prices, and now I have 8 bottles so far! Birthday Suit is another favourite. My shopping cart right now has Pine, either Fir Coat/Cheers (can't decide lol), Spaced Out, Smitten, and the magnetic wand because my best friend bought me Shooting Star last month
Just saw that you want Vanity as well, I highly recommend it! I wore it for Halloween paired with Ink
snow angel is precious!! i haven’t thought of layering it over other colors though, that sounds so fun! omg yes Smitten & Elsa are absolute stunners too!! i’m so glad ILNP is available to you thru Harlow & Co
@@PolishedYogi I'm currently wearing Snow Angel layered over Cirque's Lavender Sky, one of my favourite combos! I also wore it over ombre french to add a bit of something extra recently! :)
Woohoo!!😍 Such a perfect video!! Love all of these!! Some of my favs are Fairy Dust, Fawn, Hi-Score and Rosewood! So glad you included them! I meow have to have Up Above and Confetti 🎉!
Thank you so much for being so thorough and including swatches!
I definitely want the same new ones on your wishlist- Joy, Forest Drive and Bear Hug 🐻 what a sweet name.
Also need Bloodline lol
I had a few recommendations- polishes you didn’t mention that I love-
Rainshower, Full Moon, Juliette, Legacy, Empire, Birefringence, and honestly one of my favorite polishes I own, Bulletproof Symphony. Also Love Trick or Treat- not sure if it’s up your alley lol
Thank you for an awesome video!!!
yayy so glad you enjoyed these!! 😁 and so awesome we have a few favs in common too 😍 right I think bc i’m on this brown kick i’m SO excited for Bear Hug 🥹🧸 and ooo thank you for those recs!! i actually do have and loveee Juliette, it’s a shame i didnt include it int his video bc its iconic! and ahhh you’re the second person who’s reminded me of Bulletproof Symphony and its now on my wishlist 🙈 Trick or Treat def is cute! i just think its a little too similar to Carved or Pumpkin Patch to justify getting it 😝 but u appreciate you sharing your recs soo much!
@@PolishedYogi Lol I hear you! About Trick or Treat. The difference for me it’s more of a silver flake look than the gold, but my favorite color is orange so I’m a nut about it 🤦🏻♀️😂
Yeah! Gorgeous choices! 🥰
Definitely get Bulletproof Symphony when you can, it’s incredible!
Thanks again for an awesome vid 💕💪
I’m just gonna start investing in ILNP. I LOVE THIS BRAND
they’re an amazing brand!!
It’s like you read my mind by posting this video! I am going to be picking up a couple of ILNP polishes for the first time on Black Friday - branching out from holo taco for once. I definitely had some of the ones you mentioned on my wishlist. A few others on my wishlist are shooting star (magnetic), smitten, Elsa & I’m still on the lookout for more. Thanks for the great videos! Been loving your favourites series as well
haha yay talk about perfect timing 😁 soo exciting to hear it’ll be your first ILNP haul!! 🤩 so glad you loved the ones i shared and are planning to pick up a few, i also really love the others you mentioned!! lmk if you end up finding more you’ll be grabbing hehe thanks so much for your support!! 🤗🥰🫶🏼
Great video Stefanie. I’m glad you added visuals and swatches this time. I wish you did the same with the Mooncat video. I’m wearing Hallucinate right now 😍 and it’s phenomenal. Lately my favorite ILNP polishes have been Carved and Ariel. Their Harvest collection is to die for, but it is missing a yellow color so I usually use Sunglow for a skittle manicure with my favorite picks from the collection and it looks AMAZING!
Will you please do your favorite OLIVE AVE video next? I am building a wish list for Black Friday and your video would be very helpful. As always appreciate you and your content so much. Thank you! 💕
thank you soo much Alexia!! yeah I wish i had the time to reswatch the mooncats i shared for that video. so awesome you’re wearing Hallucinate right now, it truly is stunning! oh yeah I wish Hayride was more of a true yellow, i do think its a bit too similar to Pumpkin Patch but it’s still so pretty 🙈 but omg i wasn’t familiar with Sunglow and WOW 🤩 such a stunning gold! 🌽✨
Olive Ave will be coming in a couple weeks! i’m trying to get thru the boutique brands first (in between other planned videos) since they usually do their sales earlier, but I’m pretty sure OAP’s sale is closer to BF. I appreciate your patience though & am glad you’ll be looking forward to it! ☺️🫶🏼
Sunglow is Ahhhmazing
I love your wishlist pics ❤
Yay!!!! So excited for ep. 2 of this series!!!❤❤❤
hehe yayy so glad you’re excited for this series too!! 😁🥰🫶🏼✨
ILNP is second in the number of polishes in my collection. If I had to choose only one brand to purchase polish from now on, it would be ILNP. They have great finishes, especially at their price point. Also, they keep collections in stock for quite a long time.
I have Knitted and Aspen from the Resort Collection and highly recommend both. On my wishlist are Brownstone (hoping it will be comparable to Wildflower Happy Little Creatures), the entire NYE collection, Lucky One, and more multichrome flake toppers. I want all the multichrome flake toppers as they liven up any manicure 😊.
If you layer Kaleidoscope over a darker green creme, it looks like a 🎄.
honestly i think I would agree about only purchasing from ILNP if i really had to choose one brand lol! so great to hear you love Knitted & Aspen, i can’t wait to try them!! ugh Brownstone looks GORG, love that collection too 🤤 NYE is so so fun! yeah they have such a huge selection of toppers too which I really love! omg Kaleidoscope looks so colorful and fun, genius to layer it over a pine green for an instant christmas tree mani 🥹🤩🎄
Im wearing Hallucinate right now lol! I love the contrast of warm and cool tones! I do find that there seems to be more red shimmer on the nails then it shows in the bottle or on the website.
Magnetics are my favorite finish of polish. I have Amber and Poison by them. Amber is one of my favorite nail polishes I own, and the only nail polish I have ever dreamt about lol
omg love that!! 💜❤️✨ and yeah i can see what you mean about the shimmer, i personally like it tho lol. thats so funny you’ve dreamt about Amber omg 🤣 i’m glad you really love that one!
I have hex and that blue one too!
isn’t hex stunning!!
I love this brand. I sometimes use the jelly holos as toppers (like euphoria over Essie risk takers only was my Halloween nail polish).
omg thats genius!! 🤯 yeah I can see their jelly holos working so well as a topper, they self level beautifully. i might have to try that sometime! ✨
i have Mega and would defn recommend that one! can be worn in one thin coat as a sheer holo topper, or 2 coats as full coverage ☺️
ooo definitely a pretty one!! 🤩🤩✨
OMG Vanity is AMAZING. I’m a huge Prince fan and anything related or adjacent to Prince, especially if it’s purple, I have to buy. Vanity was his girlfriend and the lead singer of vanity 6. The color is STUNNING.
On my wishlist are Skyline (I’m trying to find something similar to holo taco’s crystal skies bc I don’t want to pay shipping for one polish 😂), Black Orchid, Be Mine, Poison and… a gorgeous brown. I’m wearing Olivia right now!
Oh wow I had no idea!! My boyfriend is a big Prince fan (and purple lover hehe) so I’m excited to tell him/show him this shade! 💜 what a beautiful wishlist though, I love all those colors! I think Skyline might be a few shades too dark if you’re looking to dupe Crystal Skies.. Dusk to Dawn looks the closest color wise but is missing all that glitter, maybe it would work layered over/under a chunky silver glitter?? 🤔 but oh Olivia looks beautifullll too!! 🤩🤩
@@PolishedYogi love to hear it! Thanks for the rec… but I broke down and bought Crystal Skies 😂
I've never spotted Riding the Waves; I need it. My studio colors - Retro Teal, Hi-Score and High Dive - are all opaque in 2 coats. Lured goes well with Retro Teal. I plan an ILNP splurge in late Nov.-early Dec. to buy Christmas presents once I get paid again. My sister fell in love with my Pixel Pink, so I want to get her a bottle. Pink Flamingo for a niece who loves the birds. My goth/emo niece likes dark reds, so I'm thinking Eclipse. She's going into radiology, so no magnetics. In my Wish list: Cosmos collection, Fairy Dust, 4 from Winter Wonderland collection, and the Summer Nights collection. I'd enjoy watching your haul, especially the Winter Resort collection. I really only started collecting in May. I love that ILNP keeps its shades around.
isn’t Riding Waves so good!! I’m glad you liked the Studio Colors you’ve tried so far! ooo i can totally see Lured and Retro Teal together 😍 those are such great polishes you’re planning to get your family!! so thoughtful 🥰 and YAY so exciting you have a big haul planned for yourself too, those are gonna be so gorgeous! i love that about them too 😁
thanks for the suggestions! ❤ fawn, hallucinate, and olive grove are definitely at the top of my list (though if im being honest with myself those three full collections are all tempting 😭). i know youre not as excited by multichromes but i loveee eclipse, mutagen, and birefringence - they were my gateway into indie polishes!
that Fairy Forest collection is 💯💯 but they all are tbh lol. and ahh i know EVERYONE always talks about Eclipse and i’m here like 🧍🏻♀️ lmaoo it definitely looks beautiful and has grown on me over the years, maybe next year i’ll pick it up! rn i’m content with mooncat’s Gates of Hell lol. but omg Mutagen looks so cool! and Birefringence is another that looks so worth the hype 🤩🤩
Mutagen is hard to capture in a photo it has this rosegold shimmer that is captivating.
I just revisited their base and top coat. If you let them dry out a bit it becomes a glass powerhouse unlike some brands. Very unhappy with HT only offering Glossy taco with the crapy stringy mess when air hits it. And it looks like they aren’t bringing the Super Glossy Taco back either. I’m switching asap!
i’m so glad you love the ILNP base & top coats! they’re phenomenal 🤩
@@PolishedYogi I know. My new mani is two days old and it’s still so new looking. I love it.
I am wearing Pink velvet. Their magnetics are superior 🎉
I am looking forward to their Black Friday sale, I’ve been building my wish list like all year lol. I have been really eying the Splashed and Harvest collections, I probably won’t get the whole collections just my faves. And also Fairy Dust, that is a must have. They make my favourite multichromes, which I know you are not a fan of but I’m wearing Eclipse right now and it was a perfect halloween mani. My first polishes from them were Funhouse and Blueprint, from the ultra metallic foil collection, they were my absolute obsession in like 2019-2020.
hahah yesss they def have one of the best sales!! and off of already amazing prices its such a no brainer to shop them lol. oh do let me know which shades you get from Harvest & Splashed!! yay to Fairy Dust hehe. and omg yes i always hear such amazing things about their multochromes!! they’ve been growing on me so maybe next year i’ll have a big multchrome haul 🤣 but wow Funhouse and Blueprint are insaaane 🤯 i can totally understand why you woudn’t wanna wear anything else!
Just wore "hallucinate" last month❤
Yay I’m sure it looked gorgeous on you!!
I love their chromes. 🖤❤️
they have a beautiful selection!! i might be tempted to pick up a few in the future, they’ve been growing on me lol ✨
I love ILNP. I have a long, long wishlist. 😂
Black Orchid
Annabelle
Ink
Clover
Ruby
Bottoms Up
Reign
Spellbound
Nexus
Empress
Dusk til Dawn
Eclipse
Fun House
Dew Drop
Chloe
Stopping Traffic
Sirene
Abyss
Hush
Diablo
Encore
Industrial Park
Penny
Autumn
Joy
Bitten
Frankie
YESS i love that you actually listed them out haha so satisfying!! those are all sooo gorgeous 🤩 would love to know what makes the final haul 🛍️
I'm really into the cellophane ones you've mentioned, but have ultimately decided to go with mooncat's sale cus of being in the low-buy for so long! 🥺
I mean, it was still enjoyable to watch this! I really enjoy watching the promo swatches for the brand, but nothing has really pushed me for them.
i totally get that! it makes sense to be more excited for or prioritize mooncat since they’re pricey and rarely have sales. i’m glad you still enjoyed these though! hopefully they’ll come out with something that will encourage you to try them out in the future :)
2 years ago I had never even heard of ILNP and now it is one of my favs! I really love so many of their polishes. Of course the whole fall collection from 2022. I also adore sweater weather, snow angel, poppy, float on, the arcade collection, the Halloween collection for this year. Some I have on my wishlist include: pink flamingo, atomic sherbet, Emma, love language, Ruby, last call, spellbound, enchantment, zero degrees, nocturnal, fairy dust, pixy party, shooting star, Carrie, jinx, and shapeshifter. So not many at all! 😆😆😆
haha yeah once you discover ILNP it’s like diving in the deep end 🤩 LOL i lovee your wishlist, Atomic Sherbet is one I’ve had my eyes on for yearsss but the darker/vampy shades usually take priority during BF lol I really need to save it for a future haul 🙈 but wow Love Language looks stunninggg! that was the only one I wasn’t familiar with and now I’m obsessed too lol!
I was actually super dissapointed by downtown- the purple base didn't show up at all on my nails even in 4 coats so it was just a sheer iridescent topper, which is still ok but I already had a topper in a similar color. I much prefer Mooncats curse of calypso, which I think is a vibe dupe. Other than that I've loved ILNP polishes that I got though, I have a bunch of holo jellies on my wishlist! As well as eclipse and a couple from their newer collections
:0 omgg no way! ahh thats a bummer, i just looked up more swatches on insta and you’re totally right its so hard to see the purple :( ty for letting me know, I’m gonna skip that and stick to Curse of Calypso !! 🫶🏼 and yayy omg yeah Eclipse is so iconic, i’ve debated getting it but i think i prefer mooncat’s Gates of Hell 🙈
I’m obsessed with their jellies! I’m on a mission to get as many colors in the formula as I can.
They really are soo amazing!! I hope you grabbed some for BF 🤩🛍️
@@PolishedYogi I did!! Maybe too many 😅
On the unicorn pee topic. ILNP released a topper named "The Magician" back in like 2017 and I think it had the same type of pigment used in Clarins 230. It was a limited release at the time. I still have the three bottles I bought back then.
omggg i remember that!! thats so awesome you have 3 bottles, I wonder how much they would go for now lol 🤔
I’m a fan if ILNP polishes. I don’t have a lot of them, but what I do have are so pretty.
i’m glad you love the ones you’ve tried! do you think you’ll get any this BF?
@@PolishedYogi I might. I’ll definitely be checking out the sales.
Ohh, I forgot about Enchantment! I think I used Zero Degrees the most last winter! I really like ILNP, I don't know how they do these beautiful polishes at their price point, but I'm not complaining!
i knoww i think bc Enchantment was such a dark shade in the spring it was forgotten about lol 🥲 i can’t wait to use Zero Degrees again though! 🤩 and omg yeah i know right? i’ve been nervous about them increasing their prices, they seem like the only brand that hasnt done it yet and i hope it stays that way! 😅
I got the base and topcoats when they came out. I've been disappointed with Lockup...it is QUITE thick. I still have over two thirds of a bottle, was using it Sunday, and it is so thick that it was making string filaments from the bottle to my nail as I pulled the brush from the bottle. My favorite ILNP polish is Sandcastle. If you want to add a taupe neutral at some point Stephanie, I would definitely recommend it. I need to get another bottle so will check out some of your recs to round out a BF order. I love the Splash collection too, but Playdate is the only one I do NOT like. It's weird, but ILNP's pinks just don't do it for me (& surprise, I like Staycation lol).
omg that’s so weird your bottle was super thick! I hope you had emailed them about it because that doesn’t sound normal at all. and ooh yeah I don’t have a shade like that in my collection, its so pretty! I think my BF wishlist is already too big but I can def consider it in the future, theres still sooo many other shades i’d love to try haha. would love to know what you end up getting from them too! and omg no wayy lol do you not like their light/neutral pinks either? 😮 and I think Staycation has potential, I almost want to add in another green jelly just to make the color pop more!
My ILNP wishlist is massive and I have been waiting for the Black Friday sale to grab them all… and my CC is already crying.
i feel that lol 🥲 what are some shades you’re most excited about getting?!
Pink Flamingo is a hit
My wish list: Skate Date, Lucky One, Opal Sunset, and you may have talked me into Compass and Confetti. I somehow justify more toppers as "not really another polish" even though they cost the same and take up the same space. Also maybe Hex. I know halloween is over but I wear blacks year round.
haha yeah I’m not hugeee into toppers either! but they really are so fun and handy to have 🙈 i really hope you grab Hex along with the others!! 🤩
I have skate date and to me it was disappointing. My boys say it looks like dirty water. 😢
@@beanbird2 oh no! I'll have to look up some swatches before black friday
This is great polish.
couldnt agree more!
My wishlist is already over 50, and that was culling down from over 70! 😫 I knew I should never have clicked on this video! 😂
OMG and i thought my wishlist was a lot haha! 🙈 definitely let me know what your final haul ends up being, it’ll be gorgeous either way! 🤩✨
I was interested in Rosewood, but I realized it is pretty close to Holo Taco's Lowkey Blushing, which I already own.
yeah they’re definitely similar but not exact dupes, I had compared them in my ILNP Fall Serenade video i think! Holo Taco is a lot more pink in color ☺️
The best MAGNETICS IN THE BUSINESS !
Dangit, why do I watch these, I know my wishlist is going to get even longer! 😂🙌
LOL okay but you need to share your wishlist!!
@@PolishedYogi it is a full on multi-column CHART! 🤣
Two piece is one of my all time favourite polishes, love a good hot pink. I am using the ILNP top coat now but I wouldn't buy it again, it doesn't help with longevity and is not as glossy as some other QDTCs. It's very obviously more dull when I use it side by side with my other top coat (olive ave) and has turned yellow in the bottle.
isnt it stunninggg!! 💖😎 and omg thats so weird! did you email them about it changing color or being dull? that definitely sounds like a faulty bottle 😬
@@PolishedYogi No I did not think about emailing them. Too late now, I bought it last black friday
Autumn and fairy dust are my top wishlist items, but I have huge list. I'n just trying to decide how nuch I'm spending on black friday 😂
LOL i feel that 🙈
Hii:) whats the dry time of these?
Love ILNP! Their polishes have such amazing depth, and the formulas are always so easy to work with. Has anyone had problems with the rubber on their brush? On several of my older ones, the rubber has become sticky and leaves a black residue on my hands. I keep my polishes stored in a dark, cool place, so it’s not like it’s melting, LOL.
I had that same issue with the rubber on a really old cap getting sticky. Glad to know it's not just me.
seriously suuuch a great brand!! and omg yes thats happened to my bottle of Juliette which i think is my oldest, I remember reading on reddit that it’s the softener leaking from the plastic, its essentially breaking down. it could also happen by accidentally getting acetone on it, but rubbing alcohol will remove the sticky layer, it just wont have the soft/matte finish anymore!
Thanks for tip, Stephanie! Love your videos! You can tell you put a lot of time and effort into them. Pinks and shimmers are also my jam, so I’m always looking forward to your videos. The comparisons are always so helpful too! Can’t wait for the next Best Of video!
Luckily I have like 80% of these or else my wallet would be in trouble!😂Great picks!
LOL thats amazing!! 😝 are there others you’re eyeing or will you be skipping them altogether to focus on other brands?
@@PolishedYogi I definitely have a small wishlist ready for Black Friday👀
personally disapointed that you seem to have been removed from pr >:( Do we know specifics on the BF sale?
girl me too lol 😩 i’m pretty sure its temporary but it still sucks 😝 and sadly no details yet, iirc last year their sale was around actual BF and not earlier like other brands, so i’m expecting the same!
You have great taste
Thanks I am making my list and checking it twicw
Me, too!📝♥️
hehe can’t wait to hear what you get!
I loved Amber. I got a good bottle. Maybe you got bad bottle
