I’ll get right to the swatches. FYI also this week I’ll be showing you another new collection from ILNP.com, the 2015 Winter Collection, and just like today’s group, they will drop you in your tracks!
First up is Empire. Everyone needs a gold like this in their lives!
ILNP Empire paired with Lucky One from the same collection! This brilliant gold is described as: “a jaw-dropping super ultra-shiny true gold Ultra Metallics™ nail polish that is simply awe-inspiring. Generously accented with holographic micro flakes for a vivid rainbow twinkle, Empire is the total package. Step into the sunlight wearing Empire and prepare to be stunned at the richness, the incredible sparkle, and the mind-blowing mirror-like reflectivity radiating from your fingertips!

Next is the gorgeous green I used to pair with this gorgeous gilded lacquer, Lucky One.
ILNP Lucky One is a classic green metallic. Paired here with this collection’s Empire.

ILNP XO, alone on my ring finger and paired with ILNP Masquerade. XO is described as: “a rich and saturated palatinate purple Ultra Metallics™ nail polish. Stuffed with holographic sparkle and high quality ultra-thin metallic flakes for superior shine, XO is a wonderfully unique purple that you’ll reach for year round!

This one really took my breath away. Although Limelight in the Holiday collection, I think it will make a gorgeous summertime polish!
Oh my, I fell instantly in love with this brilliant lime green metallic! Limelight is described as: “a super fun and wonderfully festive bright green Ultra Metallics™ nail polish with just the right amount of holographic pigment to add a beautiful rainbow sparkle in the sun!

The one Ultra Chrome Flakie that snuck into this glittery crowd is Ferris Wheel. Don’t you love?!
Ultra Flakie Ferris Wheel by ILNP over a glossy black. Ferris Wheel is described as: “an amazing combination of color-shifting Ultra Chrome Flakies that is unmistakably festive and perfect for the season! At every angle you turn your nails you’ll enjoy vivid hues of green, gold, blue, red, purple, and pink. Use Ferris Wheel as a topper over your favorite nail polish or brush on a few layers for full coverage. ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakies are fully opaque and can be worn alone or over any color without affecting the intense color shifting properties. Full coverage in 3 – 4 coats.”
Winding down with today’s collection is Time In A Bottle. One of those essential mermaidy metallics none of us can do without.
Time In A Bottle, two coats. Accented with Morgan Taylor’s Party At The Palace! Time In A Bottle is described as: “a gorgeously rich aquamarine-leaning Ultra Metallics™ nail polish. A little darker than turquoise but not quite teal, Time In A Bottle is one of those unique colors that’s difficult to describe but nonetheless stunning! The vivid blue shade of Time In A Bottle plays beautifully with the super reflective metallic flakes and micro holographic flakes. Seriously, do not pass this one up! Time In A Bottle is part of a set of 6 new holiday themed Ultra Metallics™ polishes that take advantage of our Ultra Metallics™ formula for an incredibly ornamental-like finish! Time In A Bottle is part of ILNP’s Ultra Metallics™ class of incredibly vivid metallic finish nail polishes; specifically formulated with various ultra-thin metallic flakes for a blinding sparkle with an undeniably rich finish and super-easy removal!”
And finally, Cherry Luxe. A delicious cherry red metallic. I know, Christmas is over but hey, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching!
Two coats of Cherry Luxe! Love this gorgeous cherry red metallic. It is described as: “a beautifully stunning, fun, and festively rich red nail polish that’s absolutely perfect for the holidays! Cherry Luxe is part of a set of 6 new holiday themed Ultra Metallics™ polishes that take advantage of our Ultra Metallics™ formula for an incredibly ornamental-like finish!

• Conclusion: No surprise here. I LOVE this whole collection. You may notice that most of my images are taken in different lighting and angles. I usually try to keep them consistent within a collection, but because of the different ways these each catch the light, I found it behooved me to think outside the box and just go with my instincts.
Here are a few fabulous facts for your shopping pleasure.
What is your vegan/cruelty free policy? ILNP absolutely does not test our products on animals nor do we purchase materials from suppliers that do. We make a conscious effort to avoid purchasing animal/insect derived materials like carmine and guanine/pearl, etc. as there are plenty of synthetic alternatives that perform the same or even better.
Are your nail polishes 3-Free? Yes! All ILNP nail polishes are 3 free! They DO NOT contain Toluene, Formaldehyde, or Dibutyl Phthalate.
What does 3-Free mean? 3-Free means that our nail polishes do not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde, or Dibutyl Phthalate. These 3 ingredients were previously used in most nail polish formulations until recent studies found them to be potentially harmful or irritable to humans. While these chemicals aren’t illegal to use in nail polish (although California law requires special labeling if used), most large brands have already moved to 3-Free formulas at the urge of educated consumers as well as organizations that campaign for safe cosmetics.”
