ILNP Fall 2016 | My Picks

Hey guys!

Minta.dk very generously offered me to choose some of the shades from the upcoming ILNP Fall 2016 collection, so today I want to share swatches and reviews of my picks.

The first four polishes are from the Fall Neutrals collection.
The quality of these polishes are amazing and all very similar - they needed three thin coats to be opaque, but the formula was amazingly easy to work with and they dried in no time!

First up is Elle, which is a beautiful semi-sheer nude with scattered holographic flakes.

Next is Chleo - a gorgeous semi-sheer dusty pink leaning nude with scattered holographic flakes.

Next we have Central Station, which a taupe with scattered holographic flakes.

The last of my picks from the Fall Neutrals collection is Industrial Park.
Industrial Park is a dark dusty blue with scattered holographic flakes.

I chose one polish from the Fall 2016 collection - The Harpist.
The Harpist is a gold-leaning copper shade stuffed with silver flakes and small holographic flakes.
The formula on this one was great - a little on the thick side, but easy to apply and it was opaque in two coats.

These are my first ILNP polishes and I can honestly say that I am in love! They are all so beautiful!
You can pre-order these polishes at Minta.dk and they will be sent out around the 30th of September.

China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage.
Meet Me at the Mirage is a rose gold shimmer.

The formula is great - it is not to thick and not to thin. The coverage is good too and it is opaque in two easy layers.

Afterwards I played around with some weird ass color combinations.

I love rose gold and this shimmer is perfect!

Rose Gold French Manicure

Hi girls!

Today I did a really simple manicure - a rose gold french manicure!
I was inspired by this manicure by Arelis P at nailsbyarelisp on Instagram.

I started off with the semi-sheer pale nude nail polish that is Essie Adore-A-Ball. With two easy coats it looked like this:

Afterwards I freehanded on the rose gold tips using Essie Penny Talk. You can also check out Arelis' video on how to make the manicure here.

I really love both the polish Adore-A-Ball and this manicure! It is so simple, but sooo pretty!
What do you girls think about this french manicure? Let me know in the comments!

Essie Penny Talk

Hello ladies!

Today I tried on another polish in the Essie Mirror Metallics Collection.
This time it is Essie Penny Talk!
Penny Talk is a copper almost chrome like nail polish.

I started off with a base coat of Essie Fill the Gap! to smooth out the surface of the nail and prep it for the metallic polish, that shows of every little imperfection on the nails.

Essie Penny Talk has an amazing dry time and the polish is really opaque like the rest of the Mirror Metallics collection and metallics shades in general.
The shade is also really pretty and matches a brand new penny perfectly!

Edit: I noticed that the colour of the nail polish looks very different in different lightnings. I would even say it has a little bit of a duo-chrome feature. In some lightnings the copper has orange undertones and in other lights it has violet undertones.
In most lightnings it has orange undertones as on the picture below.

It does not even look like the same polish!
