ILNP Ultra Chrome Collection Swatches & Review

August 21, 2013

Today's post is super exciting for me, as I got the chance to be one of the first bloggers to try the new and fantastic ILNP Ultra Chrome collection!
When I first saw these at ILNP facebook page, I was really curious to see them in person and to know if they really are as spectacular as they seemed to be in pictures. Now that I've got this chance to swatch them for you, I can honestly say these are the most beautiful multi-crome polishes I've got to try. Tho it's a bit hard to catch all this pretty color shifting in pictures, I hope you will like my swatches and get an idea of how these polishes will look on the nails.

The official release date of the ILNP Ultra Chrome collection is on 9/6/2013. Be sure to get yours in time, because I know these will be sold out very quickly.

Left to Right: Cygnus Loop, Mutagen, Birefringence, My Little Glacier

I decided to layer them over a black base to get a stronger effect, tho they are all great in two coats and provide full coverage. The formula of all four polishes was great, smooth and easy to apply, I didn't experience any problems with it. You could see the brush strokes on the nail but that is something to be expected with this kind of effect.
To give you a better idea of how these pretties look in person, I included a photo in the sun and two photos that I took in the shade which I found is more affective to present the multi chrome effect.

Cygnus Loop will shuffle through a bright purple, to orange, to yellow, and even a little bit of green.
This one is defiantly setting a great example of the multi-chrome effect, I could easily see all the colors range and it was amazing on the nails.

Mutagen shifts it's color through green, blue, red, and orange.
I can't say I'm a big fan of greens, but this one made me say "wow" out loud when I saw it shining in the sun. It was so radiant and it's glow was really a pretty sight. This polish has s really interesting multi chrome effect that I can't say I've seen anywhere else before.

Birefringence shifts through an array of incredible blues, purples, reds, oranges, yellows, and even subtle greens.
Where should I start? This one was Ah-mazing and defiantly my favorite from this spectacular collection. It felt to me like this polish combines two beautiful but yet so different shades into one bottle. It looked like a dark velvety purple polish in the sun, and in the shade the multi chrome effect kicked in and you could easily see the full multi chrome effect range.

My Little Glacier is a silvery-blue that shifts to a very subtle hints of purple, red, and even yellow.
This is a beautiful frosty shade on it's own, but I would say it's effect isn't as strong as the other colors in this collection. While multi chrome effect is more noticeable in the bottle, I could hardly see it on the nails.
