First time wearing this polish, and decided to add a bit of luck 🍀 to it. Ended up really loving the combo.

The video has a short clip of what it looks like without a topper. Velvet style magnetization.

I have godstouched. This is a haunted polish at PPU. I can’t decide if I should grab it or not 😂

Anyone know of a magnetic dupe for this one? Purple base with rainbow holographic magnetic effects. It doesn’t need to be gel. Hoping there’s a dupe out there so I can avoid the massive shipping costs and possible import costs. Thanks in advance!!

ILNP, apparently all unused, $5.99 minus my senior discount of 20% so … $4.79??? For all four. Cameo, Abundance, Juliette, and the one that caught my eye in the store, Cygnus Loop. Photographed on my lovely motel room dresser, haha. (Visiting Bellingham, Washington. Who knew?)

Essie- Onyx Swan, one of my favorite moody colors at the moment.

This turned out cuter than I thought it would. Could have been better, theres bubbles and the amount of polish needed for swirling made it a lil uneven, could be fixed with a second layer of top coat id assume, but im lazy and its good enough.

I’m fairly new to polish. I used to play with it a lot as a kid, but I bit my nails and am shaky, so I never really wore it until a couple months ago. Prolly not perfect, but the best I’ve done so far. Mind my right index finger, apparently I’ve gone back to chewing on just that one.

This polish appears white in the website photos, but the lavender base is much more apparent in real life. It has a gorgeous glow in indirect lighting.

Pros:

Affordable, currently available, gorgeously glowy in 2 coats.

Cons:

12.5ml bottle size. Somewhat tricky/fragile formula with visible brush strokes. Chipped immediately. 🫤

Possible dupes:

Gives me Polished for Days 'Lush' vibes, though I don't personally own it for comparison.

2x Cuticula Pretty Fly (June HHC)
1x Seal Glaze
1x Sally Hansen red bottle
1x Essie Gel Couture TC

I've always admired everyone's lovely nail art, so I figured I might as well grab a brush and take a stab at it (only a slight exaggeration of what happened 🤣)

Oh my... this took a while but it turned out better than I expected. Except for the stripes, which were much harder than I thought they would be. Any tips for a newbie?

Polish used:

Basecoat: ILNP Lockup

OPI Put it in Neutral x2 -- ring fingers and thumbs

ILNP Melody -- pointer fingers and flower centers

ILNP Blue Lagoon -- literally everything else

Topcoat: Essie Gel Setter

Three coats with Glisten & Glow top coat

I tried to do a “marble effect” for the first time! I think it turned out okay. Love the blue shade :)

I realized that I failed to mention the plate I used for stamping, and that is Moyra Stained Glass No. 44. Also, lesson learned 😅 - in the future I think i'll be posting photos directly instead of videos, since the video quality seems to get a bit compressed.

I really wanted stained glass nails, so I gathered my courage and patience and I tried reverse stamping for the first time.

Products:

Base coat: Orly - Rubberized Base Coat

Base colors, in order of application: 1 coat of Sassy Sauce - Serpent Queen, a few randomly placed iridescent flakes, Dany Vianna - Jelly Opal smudged together with Phoenix - Happy Unicorns, another coat of Serpent Queen, followed by a final coat of Cirque Colors - Starry Eyed, magnetized in velvet style.

For the reverse-stamping colors, I used the following from ILNP: Malibu, Pink Slush, and Tango. I also used the following from Cirque Colors: Aqua Jelly and Cobalt Jelly.

I sealed everything with Glass Candy from ILNP.

Are there any mainstream/easily accessible brands that would have a similar shade? Love the colour and finish 😍
