ILNP Multichrome Holos: Sirene (H), Peace (H) & Nostaliga (H)

Good morning lovelies!  I picked up some of these gorgeous ILNP Multichrome Holos during a sale - I think it was because they are changed the bottles.  Well dang I wish I would have bought more because they are stunning!  I only recently starting liking duo and multichromes, but add a little holo and hand me a drool bucket please.  These 3 multichromes are currenlty available and they are $12.50 each bottle.  Are you ready to jump in and look at lots of pictures?  I am!

Up first is Sirene (H).  This is a gorgeous polish that "shifts through spectacularly vivid hues of green, blue, violet, red, and even offers subtle hints of gold."  I definitely saw that blue, green and purple but not so much the red or gold.  I also was working with very gloomy weather so I don't have any outside pictures and that could have made the difference.  The formula and application of Sirene (H) were both fantastic.  It was fully opaque in 3 coats and I did not use topcoat.  

I also got Peace (H), a beautiful polish that has shifts of "vivid hues of blue, purple, fuchsia, pink, and even a subtle coppery gold."  I love the darker shades in Peace.  They are a cooler set of shades than Sirene had.  Peace (H) had a wonderful formula and applied like butter.  I used 3 coats of Peace (H) for full coverage and no topcoat.   

Lastly I picked up Nostalgia (H).  I have been wanting this one for so long!  It's such a gorgeous shifting polish that shows "hues of green, gold, red."  I was over the moon happy with everything about this polish.  It completely lived up to my expectations.  The formula and application of Nostalgia (H) were both stellar.  I used 2 coats for full coverage and no topcoat.  

I Love Nail Polish: Black Orchid, Fall Sememster & Homecoming

Good evening lovelies.  I'm ready for the Fall aren't you?  Can the weather turn cooler already, please?  Who do I call to make that happen?  Well if I can't enjoy a drop in temperature yet then I should at least be able to enjoy Fall colored polish!  Tonight I have some gorgeous I Love Nail Polish from the recently released Fall Collection so let's take a looksee and imagine those crunchy fallen leaven, crisp air, the smell of wood burning in fireplaces and the taste of hot apple cider.

Let's start with Black Orchid, the one from the collection that really drew in my eye.  Simply put, I am a sucker for any and all deep, vampy colors that fall in the merlot/burgundy family.  Black Orchid is amazing and exactly what I wanted it to be.  It seems to have a blend of scattered and linear holo.  The formula was perfect.  I used 2 coats of Black Orchid for full coverage and no topcoat.   

Homecoming is another fantastic color - a deep purple with a nice dose of gold micro flakes.  I'll admit I am not the hugest fan of purple polish, but I had to have Homecoming...and I am so glad about it!  The flame on this polish is pretty nuts too - a very vibrant blue.  I again see a mix of scattered and linear holo.  Homecoming had a great formula and applied very nicely. I used 2 coats for full coverage and no topcoat.

Last but not least, Fall Semester.  This dark teal is stunning.  Aside from the holo I also saw some gold shimmer and blue/green (shifting?) micro flakes.  The formula and application were both awesome.  You'd only need 2 coats of Fall Semester for full coverage but I had a wonky brush so I did 3 coats to ensure I painted evenly.
