Hello lovelies,

Hope you're all well and your year started great! I've you've missed my last year's summary, you can catch up here.

I've managed to catch up on some swatching over the holidays and today I'm excited to show you the second half of the ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakies collection! The whole collection consists of 13 polishes in total and each has different flakies in them.

Click here to see the swatches of the first half of the collection.

Atlantis - multichrome flakie polish shifting from blue through purple to red and burnt orange.

Cold Fusion - multichrome flakie polish shifting from light blue through darker blue shades, teal and green and to purple.

Metropolis - multichrome flakie polish shifting from purple and fuchsia shades to pink, blue and burnt orange.

Neon Rosebud - this multichrome flakie polish has it all! It shifts from fuchsia and purple through red, gold and gold green. Sometimes you'll see blue as well.

Brilliance - multichrome flakie polish shifting from greens, olive and golden green to hints of pink and blue.

Rapture - multichrome flakie polish with gold and olive green coloured flakies and hints of darker green and blue.

Open Fields - multichrome flakie polish shifting from vibrant greens through hints of gold, teal to a bit of blue.

Beautiful, aren't they? All swatches are one coat over black base and no topcoat. My top picks are Neon Rosebud, Brilliance and Cold Fusion.

I still have he same thing to say about these polishes as in the first review - all of these flakie polishes have exactly the same formula. They applied very nicely and they lay flat on the nails so there is no rough surface. With a coat of topcoat you'll have a smooth finish. They dried fast and glossy. The flakies are in a clear base and the bottle is packed so you get a nice amount of them on the brush. In my opinion they are best layered over a polish because it takes 3-4 coats to get full opacity (although I don't doubt it would look spectacular). You can also layer different shades to get multi-coloured mix of flakies which gives you a lot of new options to try! 

"Every 12ml bottle is created by hand, with love, in the USA. Each bottle of nail polish includes a stainless steel ball for easier mixing, a rubberized cap for better gripping, and a wide brush for easier application. All ILNP nail polishes are 3-Free! They DO NOT contain Toluene, Formaldehyde, or Dibutyl Phthalate."

ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakies Collection is available at www.ilnp.com for $12.50 per bottle.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

What about some glamorous nail inspiration for New Years' Eve party? This is a very simple design that you can do just using the nail polish brushes straight out of bottle, no need for nail art brushes. I've used three All That Jazz polishes - All Eyes On Me, Be Fierce and Fit For Royals. All Eyes On Me and Be Fierce are colours from the autumn Spotlight Affair collection (reviewed here) and Fit For Royals is from the winter Indulge Me collection which I'll review later.

I've paired the design up with some gold bracelets and it was the perfect fit!

Even though it's a very simple design I've prepared a picture tutorial for you:

So what do you think? I really like this colour combination and how easy & fast it is! I didn't need a tape or a special brush, all was done just with the nail polishes. Simplez! :)

All That Jazz polishes are available at Nail Harmony UK website for £7 (you'll need to register first to shop).

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
