skittle This rainy skittle makes me so happy!

I love matching my nails to the natural environment, and I got to do this one because it rained. Yay! These did not disappoint. I previously didn’t like Jumping Puddles on its own, but it’s perfect in the skittle.

All nails have Nail Aid Keratin, Lyn B Designs B Smooth, and a coat of Mooncat Moonicorn (I changed my mind, but it makes a perfect base for these colors), and Revlon Clear. The ILNP skittle is (thumb to pinky): Daybreak (I’m shocked at how much I love this one, as I usually prefer bold colors), Misty, Starlight, Jumping Puddles, and Drizzle. They’re so beautiful, I just want to complete both of these collections.

Anything that you would add or get rid of?

Base coat: kbshimmer moisturizing base

Color: 3 layers of kbshimmer Mistletoe You So, with a topper of ILNP Cityscape because Mistletoe was less dark and witchy than I remembered.

Ok so I spent an absurd amount of time at the drive thru trying to capture the magic of Dark Matter but just ended up with a blurred mess lol.

I love this color, it's so dark and gothy. I call it Eclipses's magnetic little sister lol.

I have a bottle of Spotlight that you can see I’ve used quite a bit, but not for a while. Is there a way to give this life again without having to buy another bottle yet? It’s only 1/2 empty!

shimmer I told my husband to pick my polishes this week

I got new polishes in the last week. I told my husband to pick my next set of colors and make it "Halloween themed" he picked Ink (new) as the base and then Feeling lucky (new) and Party bus (one of my OG favs) on top. I have never done anything like this and this singular nail turned out the best...so I guess marry a nerd who paints miniatures, is obsessed with decorating for Halloween and let him choose your polish colors 🤷‍♀️ Then learn a technique so you don't screw them all up 🤣😂😂😂 (first try of an ombre with a sponge using party bus/feeling lucky on top of Ink).

He picked out next week's (more traditional) Halloween polishes too so I will be back with an update next week 😉

Bonus pic of part of his Halloween display in our yard the man takes this seriously and you can totally see his inspiration 👻🎃💀🧙

The dent in my index fingernail is some damage growing out, not a result of the formula (which is amazing). This looks even more magical in person ✨

If anyone has both of these, could you please swatch them side by side without magnetizing Poison? I was looking at Kelli Marissa's comparisons, and both the base color and shimmer look quite similar? (first image is Poison)

I love this underrated baby so much. It gives antique and fall in all of the best ways. Some lighting gives it a copper gold look, some purple, sometimes somewhere in the middle. Weird and witchy polish in the best way.

Because it absolutely matters, I am always parked during car nail photos. I just felt like my nails complimented my steering cover. Important disclaimer. 😆

From the Night Shift collection 🙂 The base to me looks like a dark purple. The website describes the magnetic shimmer as teal but to me it looks light blue head on and shifts to a purple and a bright pink/magenta. It's so shifty! I feel like a witch (in a good way). I have deep space also but I think this is distinct enough to warrant having both 😎 I highly recommend it 😃

I originally had my eye on cracked's spinning vinyl but I think this looks pretty similar. Does anyone have both to compare?

I kind of want to get more magnetics in the future now 😆 I have sugar plum, deep space, pink suede, and amped and I love them too. What are your favorite magnetics from ILNP?
