Today will be a rare day with two posts. I love Digit-al Dozen week – but I hate to delay swatching polish that deserves to be swatched! My third Digit-al Dozen bling mani will be posted this afternoon. Sorry in advance for SPAMMING my email subscribers!
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I recently received a beautiful package of goodies from Barbra at I Love Nail Polish (ILNP). This was seriously like Christmas for me. I love ILNP nail polish (ILILNPNP - I need a bumper sticker!) Today I have four polishes from her new holographic line, three jewel-toned colors and one clear topcoat. All have an ultra-fine, scattered holo effect. It’s subtle…but not quite as subtle as my photos depict…my indoor shots don’t do the rainbow-y goodness justice. All four polishes really come to life in the sun.
First up is Grape Alicious. The name is perfect. It’s a deep, eye-catching Welch’s Grape Juice purple. It’s really spectacular outdoors. My swatch is three coats.

Nail art…finally! My first love. I do love swatching new polishes – but it’s nice to sit down and do one look and actually wear it for longer than 15 minutes! Today I have my first semi-tribal design. I say “semi” because it just came out a little friendlier than I imagined. LOL. I used two coats of I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) Concrete Sprinkles as a base (I’ll swatch some of the new ILNP holos in a separate post…prepare to love them!) For the design I used Art Club Nail Art Duo Pens in White and Royal Blue.
10 new ILNP nail polishes to blow your mind! Unveiling the 6 piece Spring Collection + 4 others!
Oh yeah! Take a look at the new ILNP Spring Collection and 4 new polishes released along side it. That’s 10 nail polishes total!
Now that the new site’s up Barbra has been able to get back into full creative gear and create some amazing new polishes for everyone to enjoy.

I have just one pic today. This post was supposed to be a plain ole’ swatch of OPI Anti-Bleak from the Mariah Carey Collection. I get Anti-Bleak on the nail, clean it up, everything is fabulous…then I finish with a coat of Seche Vite. A tainted, pink-tinted, glittery coat of Seche Vite! I don’t know how or when that happened. I have multiple bottles of Seche Vite and I must have reached for one that I used while polishing my nails in my sleep. In any event, it was hardly a true swatch of Anti-Bleak anymore. So I added one generous coat of I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) A Nice Chianti. Then I went to bed. I didn’t even re-top coat it the next day. I grabbed the camera and took two pics for posterity’s sake. And one of the pics actually turned out decent !…[it's clickable today]

Hi guys. I have a special Sunday post! On deck for the blog are swatches and a review of the new 6-piece New Years Collection from I Love Nail Polish (ILNP). Typically when I do collection posts, I only do one or two photos per polish because: a) I like to to see the whole line in the same lighting, poses, etc., and b) I’m anal retentive. But once I got the first New Years Collection mani finished…I didn’t want to take it off! I’ll give you complete info about the talented Barbra and her awesome indie line in the upcoming review post. For today, this post is dedicated to All Gold Everything.
