ILNP Summer 2017 Collection (Partial)

Hello! Today I have swatches of four polishes from the ILNP Summer 2017 collection. These were bought for me by my boyfriend, and were his choices from the collection (and the whole of Rainbow Connection) while drunk - yep, he drunk-ordered me polish! Read on for my full swatches and more info.

'Birthday Suit' is a pinky nude base with holographic flakes. The formula is gorgeously smooth and easy to apply. This does start off sheer and slightly streaky but builds up nicely. I can still just about see my nail line after a third coat, though it is hardly noticeable in person. The tiny flakes lay flat on the nail, so this dries down smooth. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Daydreamer' is a pink jelly base packed with both silver metallic and holographic flakes. It is smooth and easy to apply, and although sheer, you get a lot of coverage from the flakes. This builds up surprisingly opaque on the second coat, but I did add a third to cover some tiny gaps. This is so reflective! Below is three coats without topcoat.

'Citrus Punch' is a pink/coral base with a strong gold shimmer and holographic flakes. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. Like the others, this is sheer on the first coat but builds up nicely. I found it to be opaque in three coats. The gold shimmer translates beautifully to the nail. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'After Party' is a blurple base packed with holographic flakes and a subtle pink flash. Again this has a smooth and easy to apply formula. This is the most opaque of the four, although I did still need a third coat. You could definitely get away with two on shorter nails. When you catch the right light the pink flash is amazing. Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? Do you like Pete's choices? I was definitely impressed! I really don't have enough ILNP's in my collection. I've also been struggling to pick a favourite of the four. I keep changing my mind between 'Daydreamer' and 'Citrus Punch', but 'After Party' is stunning too. I literally can't decide!

As mentioned, all four of these were purchased from Rainbow Connection. All except 'Birthday Suit' are currently in stock, and can be found for £9.20 each here.

Hope to see you in the next post!
