ILNP Cosmetics, Inc. Birthday Suit - Cashmere Pink Holographic Nail Polish

Honestly wasn't sure about a color I ordered, but their team swapped it out quickly and made the whole process painless. Everything arrived beautifully packaged, and the polish itself is great quality. Really appreciate companies that make returns this easy.

Just hint of color with some glitter. Love it.

Good shade

Picture is 10 days wearing 2 coats of Keepsake. This was my first purchase of ILNP polish and what an introduction it was! Lovely packaging and beautiful product. I have been an OPI and Essie user for years. I stopped using Essie because I discovered that as the bottle aged it required more and more drying time on my nails. I love OPI but their nude colors can be temperamental. Some can be very, very streaky and others will peel within 1-2 days, despite a base and top coat. I purchased Birthday Suit (not pictured) based upon reviews and it is, indeed, a beautiful polish. It goes on well, with a jelly type consistency that “self levels.” You need thin coats for a beautiful look. I used a base coat, 2 coats of the polish, and a top coat. And had 10 days of wear. That’s a win for me. I would call Birthday Suit truly a nude but with a fine glitter. I did not see (at least on my skin tone — I am a medium light, neutral in foundation) any pink undertone. Maybe the polish was too much of a “birthday suit” match for my skin tone, but it was truly a nude/beige with fine glitter on my nails. Lovely but not quite what I hoped. I tried it over an OPI color (Baby Take a Vow) and magic happened. I liked that combination! I purchased a second bottle of ILNP in the color Keepsake. (See picture. That’s 10 days of wear!). It also applied beautifully with no streaks. (I apply in thin layers, and allow drying time between coats.) Keepsake is my new favorite polish. It’s perfect for everyday wear. You don’t notice anything special about the color until sun or certain lights hit your nails but then it’s like they sparkle in the most elegant way. Not flashy, just classy. I hope ILNP never stops making Keepsake. This will be my new go-to and will replace my OPI (Baby Take a Vow) and Essie (Sugar Daddy). For those wondering about the color, Keepsake is close to Essie’s Mademoiselle. Lovely, lovely color for those who love neutral nails with that slight pink undertone and a bit of sheerness. UPDATE: I have used Keepsake a couple more times since my original review. Three coats is just a beautiful, opaque neutral, nude pink with a slight lilac undertone. I still love it. I have since purchased other colors as gifts. If you are on the fence about this brand, don’t be. Buy it. Oh, an a note about drying time. This polish is not a quick dry type. You need to allow 20 min between coats for a salon smooth finish. If you apply one coat on top of another, it will look gummy and will take forever to dry. This is not unique to this brand of polish. It’s the same for any polish. Manicures take time. Find a good podcast or stream a show once a week to do your nail self-care.

This is one of my absolute favorite nail polishes ever. The color is stunning and classy, but subtle. It dries fast, but in an even layer. It last very well for a regular nail polish. I have bought this nail polish a couple of times because I’ve never found a color that matches my skin tone as well as this one does. I strongly recommend it.
