ILNP (I ♥ Nail Polish) ~ Washing Ashore



ILNP (I ♥ Nail Polish) ~ Washing Ashore
Described as an incredibly strong multichrome; from a glowing teal to a rich and vibrant purple

I usually love ILNP’s polishes. The colour shifters are amazing and the strong holos can almost make me swoon. Today I’m not that impressed with the colour shift, I will show you why in a moment.

The formula of the polish is really good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is good too.

Here’s what it looks like. Two coats and no topcoat:


I don’t think the colour shift is “incredibly strong” and perhaps I might be colour blind but I don’t see purple either. I see teal and blue. My BF has exactly the same opinion. It’s still a very nice polish though, just not quite what I expected.

There are ways around that though! I made purple dots on half of each nail. I used Picture Polish’s Hussy for that, and when that was dry I added a layer of Out the Door’s Northern Lights holo glitter topper.

This, dear friends, is my final mani:


Now that’s way better!


Here are the three polishes I used.



Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Very good
Finish: Duochrome
Overall impression: It’s nice. I wish the colour shift was stronger
Buy again: Probably not

  1. You are right, the shift isn't impressive, but the color itself is so you, I think :D Looks nice with the additional nail art!

  2. Yes, the colour shift isn't much strong, but it's a lovely teal and looks OK with the nail art :)
