Not Just a Name, A State of Mind: I Love NP - Part Three

 

This is my last,but not final post, on ILNP on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Here is the recap on I Love Nail Polish, lovelies: 

Vegas created and made by Barbra, ILNP specializes in glitters and creme-jelly glitters. The line recently expanded into a limited-edition Holographic release and also featured a Spring limited-edition creme selection.

The creativity behind this line blew me away. The branding, the packaging, the color concepts, and the quality are amazing for an independent line. ILNP's customer service standard is stellar- professional, timely, and lovely!

Time to show you the lacquer...

This is a pic heavy post highlighting, Forever & A Day, No Place Like Rome, and Truffle Shuffle.

 

Forever & A Day is a romantic shade inspired by that iconic New York city jewelry store. A shower of gold and teal glitters, this shade is elegant over pastels, nudes, and whites.

 

No Place Like Rome is bold and super sexy. It is a brilliant tornado of ruby squares, circles, and micro hexes. Barbra is quoted as saying that, "(this shade) looks good over any complementing color, but, it looks practically illegal when applied over dark shades – especially shades of black! We're definitely not in Kansas anymore!"

 

Truffle Shuffle was inspired by pure, rich, and dreamy chocolate. This shade is the equivalent of a heart shaped box of strawberry and cherry filled truffles. It consists of pink, red, and brown hex glitters of various sizes. 

 

 

(Forever & A Day featured OPI's My Vampire Is Buff and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Green Tea and No Place Like Rome and Truffle Shuffle featured Zoya Dulcinea & Tosca)

This is a pic heavy post highlighting, Strawberry Crème, Cheshire Blues, and, A Golden Orchid. 

 

Strawberry Crème is a reminiscent of a sweet strawberry milkshake. This is a stunning creme-jelly polish featuring of pink, fuchsia, and red circle glitters. (Please note that per it's description it is 75% opaque.)

Cheshire Blues is a flirtatious and fun selection of purple, fuchsia, and light teal hexes with a scattering of pale pink heart glitter. On this polish, Barbra says, "If you're in the market for uncontrollable cuteness on your fingertips – Cheshire Blues is the polish for you! I mean it! Seriously... you're already 10 times cuter for considering it. Imagine what will happen when you wear it!" Love it.

A Golden Orchid is a true glitterbomb, that is a cacophony bold jewel toned glitters: gold, emerald, purple, and fuchsia.

Not Just a Name, A State of Mind: I Love NP - Part One

 

Tell me lovelies, that says it all- right? 

It is my absolute pleasure to share the creations of style maven, Barbra, and - her passion, her pride, her brand- I Love Nail Polish. This polish has been featured by some of the loveliest lacqueristas on the web, but you know I have to represent this only like I can. 

Vegas created and made, ILNP specializes in glitters and creme-jelly glitters. The line recently expanded into a limited-edition Holographic release (I am amazed by AC Slater, Touch of Mint, Chloe & Monterey Bay) and also featured a Spring limited-edition creme selection.

The creativity behind this line blew me away. The branding, the packaging, the color concepts, and the quality are amazing for an independent line. The best part, which you will only find out about if you jump on in ( this is a 75 degree infinity pool on a sunny yet breezy day without a cloud in the azure sky),  is the customer service standard. Barbra is professional, timely, and lovely! I had a fan girl moment when she followed me on Instagram. She commented not only on her products, but other pictures and products I use. Class act alert.

As I always say, on to the business at hand...

This is a pic heavy post highlighting, Up to Snow Good, Bohemian Peacock, and So Ghoul. 

Up to Snow Good is an avalanche of matte, prismatic, pearlized, and translucent glitters in teal, blue, white, and aqua. Barbra said ,on her Etsy description of this color, "The polish reminds me of those mints that we all tried to bite on in the dark to make spark. I never could get that to happen… must have been a conspiracy to get gullible children to buy mints instead of chocolate."

Bohemian Peacock is a glitterbomb of orange, green, blue, and teal. Barbra said her inspiration walked straight off the catwalks at Fashion Week. This will make you work. Fierce. 

So Ghoul is a another atmospheric top coat. This is a haze of gunmetal, gray, black, citrine, and slate glitters. This color to Barbra is "reminiscent of a lonely tombstone". It reminds me of Disneyworld Florida's Haunted Mansion or a steamy Boston night... don't ask. 

(All shades are featured over Zoya's Delicata. Thanks to Radha for her selection of this neutral for this post.)
