ILNP Black Orchid - Deep Burgundy/Plum Vampy Holographic Nail Polish, Chip Resistant, Non-Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty Free, 12ml

I love this brand of nail polish it’s so sparkly and looks so pretty I have it in multiple colors

Love the color.

The color I chose was “Black Orchid,” to sum it up the polish is stunning. I am so glad I came across this brand, now that I have tried one polish I can continue to order new products as the quality is superb. The brush is thinner than most and the polish glides on smoothly. I used a clear builder gel under to add some bulk to my extension and the polish did just fine over it. No bubbles or clumps and it dried evenly without streaks. I did two coats here, however I like the fact that it is buildable because with one coat it’s a beautiful sheer version of itself. Overall great experience. 10/10 Edit** I forgot to note that in regular lighting this color is non-sparkle, so the effect can only be seen outside in daylight or under direct or bright lighting inside. I knew this going in based on other reviews. I actually like that about the polish, it makes it more diverse. I love the base color, a black 🍒, so make sure you get a polish with a base color you want overall. Not all of their polishes are the same, meaning they have different effects, so this may not be the case with some of the others. Anyway I hope this helps, I see some reviews where people are left disappointed because the glitter effect of some of these polishes are not constant.

Ahh well, like many others I'm sure, I ended up placing an order for this divine nail polish because of Cristine of Simply Nailogical on You Tube. Who knew that there was a legitimate addiction to holographic nail polish going on. Well, apparently there is a whole movement and I have to agree that once you buy one of these type of sparkly holo rainbow polishes, it's hard to go back. I'm still conservative about color though and because I don't think I can pull off a minty green or pastel purple yet, I like to stick with traditional reds, pinks and plums still. My skin is fair too so I hoped that Black Orchid would be a flattering choice for me and I was not disappointed! The holo in this polish is absolutely stunning under direct light but a lot more subtle indoors. This particular shade of shimmery, deep plum is gorgeous in its own right though. I believe it's also one of ILNP's most popular colors. It is moderately sheer with one coat but fully pigmented in two. I personally use it in conjunction with UNT's peel off base coat for easy removal and either Seche Vite quick dry top coat or the Gelish Top It Off Gel under the UV lamp (both, I also order from Amazon). One last thing that struck me in receiving this, that I have to point out, is the packaging. It is so gorgeous and wrapped with such care. The box has room for 3 (maybe 4 polishes?) so next time, I now have an excuse to fill it up with more colors (ahem) so they arrive safely without smashing. Sure... Sure...

Edit: The seller contacted me and insisted I keep the product, but gave me a full refund. Even though I wasn't happy with the product, the customer service was top notch. ❤️ Didn't last 12 hrs until the nail polished chipped. Very disappointed since it was over $12 for a bottle. Peeled off less than 24hrs later.
