i’ve always appreciated that you take a second to talk about the ILNP 3-coat experience because it really is different! it’s just like you say, it never feels super thick and bulky on the nails - it’s just a lovely and buildable formula!
I agree with you all. I love ILNP. This is the only brand really, that I buy full collections from. Well, technically I can’t say that because I am subscribed to the Orly Color Pass, so I get the full collections when they come out seasonally. Anyways, I do like this collection, but I am not too crazy about the last two shades. I think the first 4 shades are a lot prettier. I don’t wear shear shades really because I am a vibrant color person, but I do really like those. I think I might pick up those shades or maybe the whole collection. I am not sure yet. I have been buying a ton of stuff lately. I might have to wait. again Kelli, you always do such an amazing job with all of your videos and I get excited every time that you upload. ❤Starlight, Day Break,Misty and Pitter Patter are my favorite shades. 😊
I think this will be my first time ever picking up an entire collection. They are all my jam! I have both a creative job and a technical job. I am a nail tech and did it all throughout college while getting a medical laboratory science degree :) Hand painted nail art is my specialty and I still do it for special people.
*grabby hands* gimme! This collection is my adult emo viiiibes lol ILNP is one of those brands where if I'm feeling it then I need the entire collection. Like i could never just pick one or two shades. They're really good at curating a collection and having it not be boring even when it's all the same formula.
ILNP is one of my favorite brands for their formula and collections. Their fall collection last year is still top notch for me. I love this color story!! As a PNW native, and rain in the forecast for at least the next week, I love this vibe. I really appreciate the near uniformity in finishes, with all the moody colors. And the fact that they have warm and cool-leaning options for people.
when i say this collection lived in my head rent free since this video was uploaded, i mean i had to just buy it. i just got them in the mail yesterday and i’m so excited to use them. my first time using ILNP :)
Eee I’m so glad you have this out before the launch! I was planning to pick this whole collection up because I am obsessed with blues and rainy weather is my favorite. ILNP is so good at capturing moods and creating gorgeous color stories! The first color looks gorgeous on you but that’s the only one I’ve been considering skipping since I’m not a huge pale pink person.
same, rain is my favourite weather! it seems there are so few of us haha. i just made a huge BF ilnp purchase though, so i'll shelve these in my wishlist for now XD
I didn't think about the flanies much until pitter patter when I noticed the flakies looked like raindrops, and then I suddenly appreciated the collection a bit more. It's overall a rather sheer but very cute collection
You just can't beat ILNP for a buildable polish. Their formula is so perfect for it. 3bor even 4 coats feels like 2 in other brands. This collection just looks so cold and wintery. I have to have these. I have to. These are the colors I reach for in winter. Thanks for the review. By the way, I absolutely love your sweater.
wow ILNP hits it out of the park - again! i love the milky beauty of all of these. perfect post-holiday vibes. so lovely, thank u kelli 💗and well: get u a ghost that does both! right here: professional actor for over 25 years and also a surgical assist... so like, yah. i rock the mythos and the logos. no need to separate that shit if that's not your vibe. rock AALLLLL of it. surprise all the folk who don't believe.... xoxoxoxo i believe in all of u
I’m so glad I saw this ! I was wondering what they looked like live. Love all your videos. My job is a counselor /therapist. If I had a do over I would do nursing.
Wow beautiful, they all kind of look similar to the technique, jelly sandwhich, that you do without any need for guesswork or layers, no creativity needed, because they took care of that part......really pretty!!!! Great video as always, thank you❤
I really like this moody collection! Flakie jellies are my favorites, and I’m glad they didn’t pack it with additional holo. I just don’t understand why they won’t switch to the paddle brush.
THANK YOU for reviewing this!! I def love the darker 3. The color story is 🤌🤌 for winter blues. Never mind 3 coats for ilnp. In fact, i expect it. I enjoy painting my nails so the 3 coats doesn't bother me. For the 10000000th time, I wish they'd sell a flat round tip brush. It would make cleanup a lot easier. But you can't beat it for that quality at that price. At this point i own more ilnp than anything ❤
I looooove the brush they have for their creme polishes and I'd love to see that for their regular line as well, but I know the medium wide brush is the happy medium for people who prefer skinny or flat brushes haha so I figure they probably won't change em!
I bought paddle brushes from Cupcake Polish and they fit perfectly in my ILNP bottles! You have to really yank the brush out of the cap but it does come out. You drop the replacement brush in the bottle and then screw the cap on top and it connects to the brush.
I was dancing to the rain wishing you’ll come out with the video of this collection before Friday. I love ILNP, but I never fall in love of a full a collection from them at the first sight as I did with this Overcast Collection. I’m now ready to get the whole collection this Friday!!!! Pitter Patter and Starlight are my absolute favorites 😍
This is my ideal nail polish collection! I didn't plan on buying after Black Friday, but these speak to me for winter polish. I don't mind 3 coat polishes and I'm obsessed with flakies!
I’m generally a more vibrant girlie, but this collection looks so sophisticated. I would love to try these! That ILNP formula you mention, I totally get what you mean. Gives us so many options to mix and match colours together, I love that!
Enjoyed the video, as always! Beautiful collection. I was a physical therapist for 20 years, then was off on sick leave because of Lupus for 5 years, now i work as a transcriptionist from home. My hobbies were always very artistic tho, musical, taught band for 12 years as a military reservist, and i paint, crochet, etc
I love the color story for this collection and three coats for a jelly polish seems pretty typical. Rainy Days reminds me of when the ice starts breaking up on the water closer to spring, so very appropriate for post holiday season polish.
This may take a over as fav Winter ILNP color story or be a close second to Winter Resort collection. I will be getting this! I too love jeweled tones and glitter before and Jan to Feb I like atmospheric colors like this one. And I totally get the delicacy of ILNP and being able to do three coats without it feeling heavy like other polishes. As to what I do for a living, I work at a financial firm helping people with their 401k's. If I wasn't doing that I'd be writing fiction and creating art. Or at the rate I'm going because of your fantastic channel starting my own youtube channel about nail polish I'm collecting so many, LOL! I would love to colab and make some I have so many ideas running through my head.
This is by far my favourite collection of the year. I love all the colours, the names, the whole vibe. I really want to see what they look like with a matte top coat on. I will pick some of them up after xmas for sure.
ILNP is by far my favorite of all indie brands, love the formulas, colors, collections, everything! Personally I've never paid much attention to winter/summer/fall or seasonal colors, as I'm the type of person that likes to wear any color all year around. However, what I did find about this collection in particular, is that the first 3 pastel shades could work well for Summertime too. At least it's summer in my country and I'm definitely buying! 😜 I loved how the flakes looked in a jelly base, it actually give an opal effect, like the stone, not specifically opalescent shade/color, which is a very different effect. Gorgeous collection, and thanks so much Kelli for your review! Now for sure I love them even more! 🤩
I'm a graphic designer, and if I had to pick something else it would probably have something to do with Anthropology--it was the only non-artistic major that I considered pursuing in college and I think it's really interesting
Thundercloud and pitter patter are my favorites! They would make a great stormy day manicure!/ I work for an auto parts company delivering parts and pulling parts so it could not be less creative if it tried, lol. If I had my way I would either be doing nails at home, making nail polish, or selling acrylic pour paintings!
I'm a reading teacher for kids with learning disabilities. I start my masters in social work in January so I guess I am shifting careers when I finish. I get to be creative at work because I have a lot of flexibility in how I teach what I teach. Yes I teach the phonics but my boss doesn't care HOW I teach it. So if I wanted to do a game with my student or theme it around their interests I could. But I have my hobbies for the creative itch. I think it would be draining working in a creative job, but like the opportunity to think outside the box when I can. These are pretty. I like the darker ones. I feel like I need them living in Seattle 🤣
I love the colour story of these polishes they'd be a perfect skittle also with them being 3 coaters I know what you mean they don't feel like 3 coaters and they don't feel like you have like 3 thick coats of polish on I'm hoping to purchase these the colours speak to me the deeper ones and the purplely ones especially
Also in my real life I'm a French teacher which I consider a creative job but in my alternate reality I'm a writer too... I actually finished nanowrimo a few years ago and loved it! If only the teaching gig didn't leave me so exhausted... 😆
Fell in love with Rainy Days as soon as I saw it. I love jelly applications, and the subtle nature of Rainy Days is just so pretty. I don't really wear pale shades, but I do enjoy the whole collection. I like the direction they took with it.
I really like this collection. The color story is right up my alley. I have never minded doing 3 coats, do that won't be an issue. Thanks for getting the review done so soon!
i have a short list of holiday colors but a ton of polishes with this January to March/April/whenever spring actually starts in New England vibe. i like Thundercloud the most, but kinda want more to be happening with those flakies. i never mind three coats from ILNP as the amount of polish on the brush feels thinner. so like you say it doesn’t feel like three coats. i’m a chemistry lecturer at a university. when i got my PhD, i was looking at industry, where it may have been more technical. i feel my position still allows for creativity in how i teach and the labs i run for students. i also have fun writing creative word problems, like a whole set of unit conversion questions one halloween set in a mad scientist’s lab.
I think this might be my favorite ILNP collection so far! Thank you for getting your review up before they launch! Currently wearing snowglobe from ILNP!
I think the same way ☺ They really give me January/February vibes ☺ after the glitter holidays and loud colors in december i want "silent nails" for the rest of winter 😅🤣
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Thank you for your videos! I wonder if ILNP would ever do a subscription like Orly’s ColorPass. That’d be my dream come true!
Loved the swatches~ you do such a great job! I deleted the email from ILNP about this launch because it didn't look like something I would like, but now that I see them more closely here, I'm thinking of getting a couple. Daybreak is my favorite...I can replace one of my other polishes that cracks on me😅 but it doesn't have the glitters, it's just the milky peach base. I like this one MUCH better ❤
Gorgeous collection!!! I’m starting to really get into jellies, so I might have to pick up 1 or 2 of these during the preorder 👀 My job is definitely not very creative haha. I work for a bank and I review business documents to make sure we have the correct/ matching information for the people who operate the accounts and other government compliance stuff. The most exciting part is that there are a lot of different businesses out there, so it’s interesting to me to learn what they do, and I often chuckle at the business’ names 😆
omg i am IN LOVE! I think the standouts for me are Pitter Patter and Starlight. I feel like ILNP polishes can be a little hit or miss but when they hit they knock it out of the park. i loved seeing how the polishes change as you build them up. huge fan of this collection!
Thanks to you I tried out this brand and fell in love with their Xmas collection. I’ve bought Joy which is an amazing red, the white and green. Stunning!!! Day break is the most beautiful I will be purchasing. Thank u
This is like the winter sister collection to the Cloud Nine collection! I love them all; ILNP's color stories are always a work of art in and of themselves.
I think the ILNP formula is so great for flakie jelly polishes! I always think that polishes like this look better with more coats because it adds so much depth, almost like a jelly sandwich but with just one polish, and ILNP's thin formula lets you put on multiple coats without it feeling thick and heavy and using up a ton of polish!
They sent me a email about this collection last week. I knew I wanted the collection. They accidentally sent it early by accident and I had to wait. Now I see these swatches, there is no doubt I'm getting it.
ILNP is killing me with these rapid fire releases 🤣 I haven't even worn all from the last 2 releases, but I'm super in love with their polishes. Ugh what to do what to do? Thanks Kelli 💜
I really love this collection, so delicate and wintry! I work in my county elections department, and most of my other coworkers are artsy in some way, either with knitting, crafting, or in my case, art and creative writing (I am also trying to write a book!) Honestly I would love to do something creative for my work but at the same time, helping people on the phone and keeping our database updated is pretty good too! If only people would stop sending us envelopes with white powder in them we would be golden! 😂
I started getting into nail polish and watching your swatch reviews last summer. This is the first collection where I loved all the polishes at first glance! I want them all!!
Gosh, these colours are stunning, when I saw them in the bottle I was thinking all pastel, so was such a surprise to see how they darkened, I too love the colour story and I'm very partial to a skittle more buying I think 🤔 I'm quite happy to wear 3 coats if the polish dictates it, so all good, great review, thanks as always Kelli ❤xx In regards to job, I no longer work due to health issues, but I always wanted to be a nurse but unfortunately was unable to due to knee problems 😢
I'm a Health Information Coordinator in a skilled nursing facility (nursing home). It's a very non-artistic job for the most part, but I do form design, signage, order furniture and I've also recently been doing nails with the residents once a month so I think my artistic side has a chance to shine as well as my logical/problem solving skills. I actually have a Bachelors of science degree with a major in interior architecture, using my degree would probably be my dream job!
My day job is a lab scientist in a clinical microbiology and infectious disease lab. Needless to say, my nails take a beating from constant handwashing and gloves. If I could do something unscience-y, I'd love to have run a bookstore greenhouse hybrid, where you can sit and read under giant palms and drink tea. 😊
Not me trying to peek the next video's collection... Specially the Mooncat Metalcore 😅 My current job is Project Coordinator at a non-profit. I love my job, but realistically we may lose funding at some point. I'm thinking I'd probably try to become a CPA. That way I could still stay in the non-profit sector, but not front facing.
I found ILNP through you and immediately fell in love. They are my fave. Such beautiful collections and excellent quality. My wallet is weeping, though. 😅
This collection has caught my eye every single time I see it! 😍🤩 I’m a pelvic floor physical therapist! But, I always thought a cool job would be a bridal consultant selling bridal gowns!
I like the lighter colors, the soft jellies with the flakies. This is more for me than the previous collection. And I appreciate you getting your review out before they go on sale. Thank you! ❤
i'm obsessed with this collection, thank you for the gorgeous swatches! not long ago they released Up Above and it quickly became one of my favorite polishes ever! this jelly + flakies finish is absolutely gorgeous, i'm so happy they are expanding this line. i'm hoping for some greens in this finish, maybe for spring! this time i'm afraid i will HAVE to get the lighter 3 shades: pitter patter, misty and daybreak. (the dusty/denim blue shades are not really for me but still pretty!)
I think these looked great on you and I'm experimenting with flake polishes like this a lot more since I purchased some earlier this year. I'm seeing the seasons flow with these from late Fall into early Winter on into wearing them in January and so on. I love the flakes and the color story as well just wondering if they look good in Matte.! Thanks Kelli wonderful job!
I'm a QC Chemist, the company I work for makes fluorinated starting materials for pharmaceutical companies/drugs. But I love crafts and creative things. I've taken cake decorating classes; I enjoy sewing and I used to crochet; and I loved doing work with resin (coasters, cups, small trinkets); but mostly I feel like I collect crafting hobbies... 🙄😬😅 Luckily I have a small craft room all to myself where everything lives alongside my nail polish collection. 💖
Haha I don't think swatchers are allowed to post reviews until the Monday before the collection comes out for ILNP 😅 but I wanted to post it as soon as I was allowed!
Wow, these are so beautiful! I agree with you about sometimes wanting those more soft, muted colors at times as much as wanting more vibrant colors or finishes at other times. I really appreciate that ILNP keeps their prices so reasonable for these types of polishes, too, and getting a deal on the preorder is really awesome. And like you, I don’t think 3 coats in ILNP polishes feels like a lot of bulk on the nail. Their formula dries quickly enough that adding that one additional coat is no big deal and I like the versatility of having it be more sheer or fully opaque.
I'm still really excited to wear my polished from their Home for the holidays collection but I can't wait for this new collection for the Jan/Feb. It's so stunning! One of my fave polish from ilnp is up above and this is an entire collection in the same formula 😍😍😍 just stunning and somehow so unique!
OK, this is random but in January/February on a really overcast moody winter day, I like to hang out by the Delaware in Washington Crossing. Rainy Days reminds me of the exact color of those super heavy clouds over the river just before it starts to snow. Love it! Interesting question about jobs! Most of my career has been in academic research. If I had to choose a non-science/math job, I think I'd like to try metal sculpture work / welding, or maybe general contracting. Something with my hands. Or when I was younger I worked with horses, maybe I'd do that.
i’ve always appreciated that you take a second to talk about the ILNP 3-coat experience because it really is different! it’s just like you say, it never feels super thick and bulky on the nails - it’s just a lovely and buildable formula!
It's definitely a unique experience, I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling that haha!
I think ILNP is my favorite brand because of that!
I agree, my ILNP polishes never feel thick and gloopy, even in 3 coats. I love that about them.
Agreed, I absolutely won’t buy a 3 coater if I can avoid it, but I’ll make an exception for ilnp!
I agree with you all. I love ILNP. This is the only brand really, that I buy full collections from.

At this point, ILNP can just take my wallet 😂 All their collections this year were just so beautiful!
Agreeeed and they really ramped it up for winter!!
No kidding!
Me too. I just couldn't decide which collection to get. I ended up getting this and cloud nine
I love this color story for January. it's like a soft gentle palate cleanser after all the bling of christmas.
YESSS exactly!!
*grabby hands* gimme! This collection is my adult emo viiiibes lol
ILNP is one of those brands where if I'm feeling it then I need the entire collection. Like i could never just pick one or two shades. They're really good at curating a collection and having it not be boring even when it's all the same formula.
I saw this collection announcement yesterday and my first thought was that I hoped you would review it soon!!! Yay!!❤
I had to try them asap, they're exactly what I think of when I imagine ILNP polishes haha! Love em!!
@@KelliMarissathe formula seems super similar to their polish Up Above which I love too!

same, rain is my favourite weather! it seems there are so few of us haha. i just made a huge BF ilnp purchase though, so i'll shelve these in my wishlist for now XD

I’m loving this collection! It’s definitely going in my ILNP wishlist.
Such beautiful colors really!
wow ILNP hits it out of the park - again! i love the milky beauty of all of these. perfect post-holiday vibes. so lovely, thank u kelli 💗and well: get u a ghost that does both! right here: professional actor for over 25 years and also a surgical assist... so like, yah. i rock the mythos and the logos. no need to separate that shit if that's not your vibe. rock AALLLLL of it. surprise all the folk who don't believe.... xoxoxoxo i believe in all of u
I live in Seattle, so this collection definitely resonates with me!
Hi neighbor. We needed this collection today 😂. I thought that when I was crossing the lake going to work today!
I gotta say the combo of the cool tones and that cozy white sweater gives cold winter vibes in the best ways, one of the best outfits coordination!
I’m so glad I saw this ! I was wondering what they looked like live. Love all your videos. My job is a counselor /therapist. If I had a do over I would do nursing.

I haven’t been this excited about a color story since the Winter Resort collection! Sold! ☔
Their jelly formula is, by far, my favorite. ILILNP! ❤
Haha! ILILNP too!!

This collection will make beautiful jelly sandwiches, space art and so much more. I bet one of their ultra holos will look cool between these.
I’m generally a more vibrant girlie, but this collection looks so sophisticated. I would love to try these! That ILNP formula you mention, I totally get what you mean. Gives us so many options to mix and match colours together, I love that!
Agreed, these are too ‘quiet’ for me, but I’m tempted. I like louder polish, but these are classy!
Enjoyed the video, as always! Beautiful collection.
I was a physical therapist for 20 years, then was off on sick leave because of Lupus for 5 years, now i work as a transcriptionist from home. My hobbies were always very artistic tho, musical, taught band for 12 years as a military reservist, and i paint, crochet, etc
I liked daybreak and pitter patter. I've been looking for a nice clear iridescent jelly color to try and I like the addition of the flakes
Ooh yeah this is a great one to try!!
The first 3 are soo pretty but Misty is my favorite 🤩
It's so beautiful!!
I always wear 3 thin coats. Oh these are so gorgeous!!
This gives me eeyoure vibes, and I love love love it.
I may need to get this whole collection. This is the same formula as Whisper and that might be my favorite non-cream from ilnp.
I love the color story for this collection and three coats for a jelly polish seems pretty typical.
Rainy Days reminds me of when the ice starts breaking up on the water closer to spring, so very appropriate for post holiday season polish.
love love pitter patter!

Ooh yes good point!!
Very strong Scandinavian winter cabin vibes... which I am all over. I might just wear this collection for the whole month of January! ❤️
Also in my real life I'm a French teacher which I consider a creative job but in my alternate reality I'm a writer too... I actually finished nanowrimo a few years ago and loved it! If only the teaching gig didn't leave me so exhausted... 😆
Ilnp is hitting me hard with these winter collections!
I know exactly what you mean about ilnp 3 coaters. They just feel so delicate and light.
What a beautiful collection for January! I'm a CPA but if I were to do something different, I'd work at a plant nursery.
Fell in love with Rainy Days as soon as I saw it. I love jelly applications, and the subtle nature of Rainy Days is just so pretty.
I don't really wear pale shades, but I do enjoy the whole collection. I like the direction they took with it.
They really did such a good job making delicate but beautiful soft shades!
I love the vibe and color story of this collection. The blues & grays are my faves. Thanks Kelli
The lighter shades aren't really my jam but wow when those dark shades come on... right up my alley
got back into nail polish just in time for this collection 👀
I really like this collection. The color story is right up my alley. I have never minded doing 3 coats, do that won't be an issue. Thanks for getting the review done so soon!
I think you will love wearing these!! ☺️
i have a short list of holiday colors but a ton of polishes with this January to March/April/whenever spring actually starts in New England vibe. i like Thundercloud the most, but kinda want more to be happening with those flakies. i never mind three coats from ILNP as the amount of polish on the brush feels thinner. so like you say it doesn’t feel like three coats.
i’m a chemistry lecturer at a university. when i got my PhD, i was looking at industry, where it may have been more technical. i feel my position still allows for creativity in how i teach and the labs i run for students. i also have fun writing creative word problems, like a whole set of unit conversion questions one halloween set in a mad scientist’s lab.
I think this might be my favorite ILNP collection so far! Thank you for getting your review up before they launch! Currently wearing snowglobe from ILNP!
All of these are stunning!!!!
I think the same way ☺ They really give me January/February vibes ☺ after the glitter holidays and loud colors in december i want "silent nails" for the rest of winter 😅🤣
This set is totally my vibe for winter. I loved all of them, even the pink, which never looks good on me.
They really do look beautiful on the nail!!
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Thank you for your videos! I wonder if ILNP would ever do a subscription like Orly’s ColorPass. That’d be my dream come true!
I FINALLY did my first ILNP order for this year’s BF and I love them! 😍 these aren’t so much my vibe but loved seeing swatches!
great swatches, very pretty collection!
Loved the swatches~ you do such a great job! I deleted the email from ILNP about this launch because it didn't look like something I would like, but now that I see them more closely here, I'm thinking of getting a couple. Daybreak is my favorite...I can replace one of my other polishes that cracks on me😅 but it doesn't have the glitters, it's just the milky peach base. I like this one MUCH better ❤
Gorgeous collection!!! I’m starting to really get into jellies, so I might have to pick up 1 or 2 of these during the preorder 👀
My job is definitely not very creative haha. I work for a bank and I review business documents to make sure we have the correct/ matching information for the people who operate the accounts and other government compliance stuff. The most exciting part is that there are a lot of different businesses out there, so it’s interesting to me to learn what they do, and I often chuckle at the business’ names 😆
I think that Daybreak and Misty would be great winter & spring bridal colors!
The first 3 are so Illuminating and beautiful 😊 Especially Pitter Patter ❤
Agreed, I think those soft base colors suit the iridescent flakes PERFECTLY!
I'm not a big fan of neutral polish, but these are so pretty. Starlight is def my favorite
omg i am IN LOVE! I think the standouts for me are Pitter Patter and Starlight. I feel like ILNP polishes can be a little hit or miss but when they hit they knock it out of the park. i loved seeing how the polishes change as you build them up. huge fan of this collection!
I couldn’t order this collection fast enough! It’s my first ILNP purchase and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Oh yay I'm glad you like it too! You'll fall in love with the brand, I bet!!
Misty! Omg that is fantastic, can't wait to gift it for my mom with her itialian skin! It's really going to pop. Thanks for the great swatches
It really is a beautiful color, she's going to love it!!!
Thanks to you I tried out this brand and fell in love with their Xmas collection. I’ve bought Joy which is an amazing red, the white and green. Stunning!!! Day break is the most beautiful I will be purchasing. Thank u
Tempted to buy the whole collection even though I shouldn't. Kelli - I love your white sweater.
I LOVE, LOVE LOVE ILNP. HAVE BOUGHT THEM FROM AMAZON. $10.00 AND $13.00 ON THERE.
Yesss I love how easy they are to buy online!
This is like the winter sister collection to the Cloud Nine collection! I love them all; ILNP's color stories are always a work of art in and of themselves.
I think the ILNP formula is so great for flakie jelly polishes! I always think that polishes like this look better with more coats because it adds so much depth, almost like a jelly sandwich but with just one polish, and ILNP's thin formula lets you put on multiple coats without it feeling thick and heavy and using up a ton of polish!
Yesss that's exactly how I feel!
They sent me a email about this collection last week. I knew I wanted the collection. They accidentally sent it early by accident and I had to wait. Now I see these swatches, there is no doubt I'm getting it.
I think they're absolutely worth buying!! They're so beautiful.
That is suck a stunning collection. Going on the Christmas list.
Yesss it would be such a great gift to get!!
ILNP is killing me with these rapid fire releases 🤣 I haven't even worn all from the last 2 releases, but I'm super in love with their polishes. Ugh what to do what to do? Thanks Kelli 💜
I really love this collection, so delicate and wintry!
I work in my county elections department, and most of my other coworkers are artsy in some way, either with knitting, crafting, or in my case, art and creative writing (I am also trying to write a book!) Honestly I would love to do something creative for my work but at the same time, helping people on the phone and keeping our database updated is pretty good too! If only people would stop sending us envelopes with white powder in them we would be golden! 😂
I love ILNP. I am rarely disappointed by their collections.
Same!!
Gorgeous polishes
I started getting into nail polish and watching your swatch reviews last summer. This is the first collection where I loved all the polishes at first glance! I want them all!!
Gosh, these colours are stunning, when I saw them in the bottle I was thinking all pastel, so was such a surprise to see how they darkened, I too love the colour story and I'm very partial to a skittle more buying I think 🤔 I'm quite happy to wear 3 coats if the polish dictates it, so all good, great review, thanks as always Kelli ❤xx
In regards to job, I no longer work due to health issues, but I always wanted to be a nurse but unfortunately was unable to due to knee problems 😢
I'm a Health Information Coordinator in a skilled nursing facility (nursing home). It's a very non-artistic job for the most part, but I do form design, signage, order furniture and I've also recently been doing nails with the residents once a month so I think my artistic side has a chance to shine as well as my logical/problem solving skills. I actually have a Bachelors of science degree with a major in interior architecture, using my degree would probably be my dream job!
All pretty. Reminded me of weddings
Ooh yes! Especially that first one!!
My day job is a lab scientist in a clinical microbiology and infectious disease lab. Needless to say, my nails take a beating from constant handwashing and gloves. If I could do something unscience-y, I'd love to have run a bookstore greenhouse hybrid, where you can sit and read under giant palms and drink tea. 😊
These can even work in spring. So pretty 😍
Yesss they feel like good transition shades from winter into spring!
Not me trying to peek the next video's collection... Specially the Mooncat Metalcore 😅
My current job is Project Coordinator at a non-profit. I love my job, but realistically we may lose funding at some point. I'm thinking I'd probably try to become a CPA. That way I could still stay in the non-profit sector, but not front facing.
I found ILNP through you and immediately fell in love. They are my fave. Such beautiful collections and excellent quality. My wallet is weeping, though. 😅
Haha it really is dangerous to find such a good quality brand! At least they keep polishes in stock so there's no pressure to buy asap lol 😅💅
This collection has caught my eye every single time I see it! 😍🤩
I’m a pelvic floor physical therapist!
But, I always thought a cool job would be a bridal consultant selling bridal gowns!
Ooh yes I bet it's so much fun to help people pick out something for their most exciting day haha!!
I like the lighter colors, the soft jellies with the flakies. This is more for me than the previous collection. And I appreciate you getting your review out before they go on sale. Thank you! ❤
Yay I'm glad you liked these too!!
i'm obsessed with this collection, thank you for the gorgeous swatches! not long ago they released Up Above and it quickly became one of my favorite polishes ever! this jelly + flakies finish is absolutely gorgeous, i'm so happy they are expanding this line. i'm hoping for some greens in this finish, maybe for spring!
this time i'm afraid i will HAVE to get the lighter 3 shades: pitter patter, misty and daybreak. (the dusty/denim blue shades are not really for me but still pretty!)
Yesss the lighter shades are especially beautiful imo!! The iridescent flakes gives them an opalescent look!!
This collection is stunning! The first one for my wedding maybe💛
It really would be a gorgeous wedding color!!
I think these looked great on you and I'm experimenting with flake polishes like this a lot more since I purchased some earlier this year. I'm seeing the seasons flow with these from late Fall into early Winter on into wearing them in January and so on. I love the flakes and the color story as well just wondering if they look good in Matte.! Thanks Kelli wonderful job!
I really love ILNP! I truly love this soft January winter cozy color story vibe! Thanks for swatching! ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed them 😄
I'm a QC Chemist, the company I work for makes fluorinated starting materials for pharmaceutical companies/drugs. But I love crafts and creative things. I've taken cake decorating classes; I enjoy sewing and I used to crochet; and I loved doing work with resin (coasters, cups, small trinkets); but mostly I feel like I collect crafting hobbies... 🙄😬😅 Luckily I have a small craft room all to myself where everything lives alongside my nail polish collection. 💖
I love these soft yet muted jellies, perfect for a cold winter day! Thank you for your swatches!
Glad you like them too!! 😋
Aaaaaaaahhhhh 😍😍😍😍 I was just wondering if you were actually gonna swatch these 🤣 better late than ever! 😍
Haha I don't think swatchers are allowed to post reviews until the Monday before the collection comes out for ILNP 😅 but I wanted to post it as soon as I was allowed!
Buying the whole collection right now. It's going to be my husband's birthday present for me. :)
Oooh you're gonna LOVE them!!!
Im so excited for this collection! Thank you for reviewing!
They're truly stunning!!
Wow, these are so beautiful! I agree with you about sometimes wanting those more soft, muted colors at times as much as wanting more vibrant colors or finishes at other times. I really appreciate that ILNP keeps their prices so reasonable for these types of polishes, too, and getting a deal on the preorder is really awesome. And like you, I don’t think 3 coats in ILNP polishes feels like a lot of bulk on the nail. Their formula dries quickly enough that adding that one additional coat is no big deal and I like the versatility of having it be more sheer or fully opaque.
And they really are thin layers too so it never feels like I have too much on my nails!!
I love them!
Me too!!
I'm still really excited to wear my polished from their Home for the holidays collection but I can't wait for this new collection for the Jan/Feb. It's so stunning! One of my fave polish from ilnp is up above and this is an entire collection in the same formula 😍😍😍 just stunning and somehow so unique!
Ooh yes, they just keep coming out with perfect polishes this season haha!
I'm obsessed with these omg
Sameeee!!
OK, this is random but in January/February on a really overcast moody winter day, I like to hang out by the Delaware in Washington Crossing. Rainy Days reminds me of the exact color of those super heavy clouds over the river just before it starts to snow. Love it!
Interesting question about jobs! Most of my career has been in academic research. If I had to choose a non-science/math job, I think I'd like to try metal sculpture work / welding, or maybe general contracting. Something with my hands. Or when I was younger I worked with horses, maybe I'd do that.
