ILNP- Under The Sea Collection

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be taking a look at a indie brand nail polish collection from ILNP (I Love Nail Polish), The summer 2023 Under The Sea Collection. The collection has six polishes with different finishes such as shimmers, holographic, and one magnetic polish. With the collection being called under the sea, I think it is a collection that is inspired by The Little Mermaid. Also the brand ILNP is made in the USA. 

Here are the polishes. They did come in individual small black boxes as well.

Let's take a closer look at these polishes.

First we have Blowing Bubbles this is described as a rich sky/ ocean blue polish with a vivid holographic flakes and reflective silver metallic flakes in it.

This light blue polish is so packed with so much holo, even in not so bight light this polish really shines. Then in sun light 😮 this polish looks even more amazing! 

This polish applied well in two coats. 

Second we have Sea Glass this is described as a deep cobalt blue, with iridescent flakes that shift from blue to purple, and have a green shimmer in it.

This cobalt blue polish I did see the green shimmer in it and a little of the blue and purple shift in certain light.

This polish applied well in three coats.

Third we have Paradise this is described as a tropical teal green jelly polish, that has emerald metallic flakes and green shimmer, along with holographic flakes. 

This green jelly polish was on the sheer side, as you can see from the photos. Jelly are meant to be sheer, but to me I still could not build this one up to not look patchy.

This polish was very sheer even in three coats and was kind of patchy for me. 

Fourth we have Hidden Treasure this is described as a shimmery purple holographic polish, that has a reflective gold shimmer,  and holographic flakes. 

This purple polish was a little on the sheer side, as you can see from the photos you cans still see visible nail line.

This applied okay in three coats, it did still look a little sheer even after three coats. 

Fifth we have Sand Bar this is described as sandy beige magnetic polish, that has holographic flakes and magnetic pigments in it.

This sand colored polish was very sheer, this kind of polish I don't care for because of it being a neutral color, even with the holo glitter in it, it was just to sheer for me. If you are more of a neutral person and want to gradually get in more holographic shimmer polishes this might be good for you.

This polish was way to sheer for me even in there coats. 

Also this polish is a magnetic polish, if you buy the set it does not come with a magnet, so you will need to buy one (I used the Holo Taco one that I had.) 

All thought this polish is subtle the magnetic pigment in this polish work very well. On the index and ring finger I did the cat eye style and the other nails I did the aura style, which you can really see the magnetic pigments move, when the polish is wet. 

Sixth and lastly we have Ariel this is described as a bright lobster red shimmer jelly polish, with a  intense red to orange sparkle in it. 

This shimmery red polish was more of an opaque jelly polish and you can really see the almost gold shimmer in it. 

This polish applied well in three coats. 

In conclusion I really loved this collection, the ocean theme and colors were all very beautiful, I liked that their was different finishes for each polish. Although most of the polishes took three coats and two of the polishes were on the sheer side, I still really enjoyed this collection. There was one thing that really impressed me, that was the wear of these polishes. I wear my polish all week and normally I get tip wear and chipping, I did not get any chipping and pretty much no tip wear. Red polishes always end up having tip wear, not Ariel, which is very impressive! 

I highly recommend any indie brand nail polish if you are looking for unique nail polishes that wear very well, ILNP is no exception to this. I highly recommend this brand. 

As you may have guess Blowing Bubbles is my favorite from the collection. The moment I applied this polish I was impressed!😍 This applied well in two coats and that holo shimmer in it is amazing! It seem even more intense then other blue holo polishes I have. 

This collection is available on the ILNP website ILNP- Under the Sea Collection all six polishes are $62.50 USD.

All of the polishes Blowing Bubbles, Ariel, Sea Glass, Paradise, and Hidden Treasure are $10 USD

Sandbar is $12.50 USD, with this polish if you don't have a magnet you can purchase the magnetics magnetic-wand for $5.00 USD on the website. 

Hope all of you enjoyed the ILNP Under the Sea Collection review!

See you next time for more nail polish fun!
