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

These are all absolutely stunning and I'm just losing words when I look at them. I haven't seen such beautiful polishes in a while. Each shade is unique in its own way and yes, you totally need some Ultra Chrome flakies in your life! My top picks from these six are Supernova and Electric Carnival because it's a rainbow in a bottle.

 

All of these flakie polishes have exactly the same formula so I will just summarize it here. 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).
