Ringing in the New Year Early 🤩🍾🕛🎊 ILNP NYE Collection | Swatch & Review + Comparisons!

[@susanmiddlebrook5882]

Wow! I love these colors! I love the topper, also, BUT NOT over the polishes in the collection! I agree with you that it appears there’s way too much going on with both on the nails. I love the green in this collection, however, Merida is my all time favorite green polish! Once again I wish you a fulfilling holiday season, Stefanie! Thank you for all your hard work bringing these collections to us in such a timely fashion! I appreciate you so much! Keep on rockin’ it in 2023, too! ♥️

[@PolishedYogi]

I’m so happy to hear you love these colors Susan! Hehe I thought you might really like that green :) & glad to know it’s not just me who thinks its too much to have the topper over these polishes! Yesss Merida is amazing!! Definitely a must have in everyones collection for any time of year i think. Thank you Susan!! I plan to have more videos this month so no need to tell me every time if you get tired hahah but if you’re taking a break from the videos I hope you have the most wonderful holiday season too! 🤗 definitely excited for 2023!! 🥰

[@Marie-vg8iq]

Omg I’m so excited to watch!! I love your swatches and how fast you get these vids out, you’re amazing 🤍 thank you for your hard work

[@PolishedYogi]

I really appreciate it Marie, thank you!! 🤗💗

[@Rasikakt55]

Thanks for getting the review up so fast!!! Love your swatches! It’s a beautiful collection but I probably have dupes for all these colors lol😅

[@PolishedYogi]

of course!! I love having swatches/comparisons and my thoughts up as soon as possible. Even though you have dupes I’m glad you still like these! 🤩

[@Marie-vg8iq]

I’m fully stunned by these colors, I’m so in love with them all! And I can’t wait to wear the topper on my bare nails :) the formula looks incredible and the colors are so vibrant and I’m so so excited to get these soon!

[@PolishedYogi]

so glad you’re loving these!! omg I didn’t even think of using Ball Drop over a sheer (my nails are too stained to be bare lol) that sounds sooo pretty!! I’ll have to try it soon too 🤩

[@livwithbiv]

Another fab video, Stefanie!!!! I feel like I’ve said this before, but your videos are always sooo relaxing. Love the swatches and comparisons. ❤

[@PolishedYogi]

aw Brandi thank you!!! I really appreciate that 🤗

[@luvmesomepolish]

I'm wearing Last Call on my nails now and it is stunning. I can't stop staring at it. I think it's one of the most beautiful blues out there.😍😍

[@luvmesomepolish]

And although Last Call looks pretty on video, I think it is so much better in person!

[@PolishedYogi]

totally agree!! I’m only using an iPhone to film so my quality isnt great, but some polishes are just so hard to capture on camera! 🤩

[@thenailnoob3336]

Wow! I love all of these! The jewel tones are just so gorgeous and perfect for the post holidays when we need a pick me up.

[@PolishedYogi]

so glad you love these too!! totally agree, at first I wasn’t crazy about these but they’re soo fun and bright!

[@sindrealight5182]

Love that you are so early! I'm very excited for this collection, it's so vibrant and pretty. BTW, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I was hearing some weird static noise with the audio around halfway through the swatches. Just wanted to mention it.

[@Marie-vg8iq]

I heard it too but figured it was my phone lol

[@PolishedYogi]

Yay so glad to hear that!! I agree they’re SO pretty, I’m loving the bright colors during a dreary season 😅 and ugh that’s so annoying, idk how I missed that weird scratching noise 😭 I’m so sorry about that!

[@sindrealight5182]

@@PolishedYogi No problem I wasn't sure if it was just me but I just wanted to mention it in case you would want to know!

[@luvmesomepolish]

Oh my gosh...I thought it was my airpods going bad. LOL

[@SaRyRe]

I think the collection looks great! Jewel tones are some of my favorite to wear in winter and during the holidays, but..I don't think I'm gonna buy any of them at this point for a few reasons. First, because I love jewel tones, I already own similar ones. Second, I have a feeling I wouldn't get this polishes in time for Christmas or New Years since I live in Europe. That said, the purple, red and green definitely tempt me and maybe I'll get them another time.

[@PolishedYogi]

aw I’m glad you do like these but you won’t be getting them, totally understandable for the shipping part alone! 😩 but yes some of these are apparently pretty similar to some other ILNP shades (probably even to other brands too) so definitely makes sense to not grab them just yet!

[@lineyloveslacquer]

I think Last Call is more blue to me and I love it, but it also reminds me of last year’s Midnight Kiss🤔also you said you didn’t like that green right after I was all😍heart eyes over it haha

[@PolishedYogi]

yess it definitely leans more blue to me too! It’s the purple flakies that really make me question my eyes haha. So many people have mentioned Midnight Kiss too! I think side by side Last Call would look more purple, but yeah they’re pretty similar! and LOL I’m sorryy about the green!! it’s gorgeous, but just not for me i think hehe 😝

[@Raneshep]

You're looking radiant, Stephanie! I have to say this ILNP collection is a total snoozefest for me, but I'm actually really happy about that because I splurged on Bee's Knees Lacquer way, way too much for Black Friday, and I still have a few from ILNP's last collection that I want to pick up, namely Zero Degrees and the lavender one. Thanks for the swatches!

[@PolishedYogi]

THANK YOUU!! I’ve been more consistent with my skincare so i’m glad it shows 🤣 but aw I get you. I definitely wish I had picked some of those BKL shades 😩 but even for ILNP I can definitely understand wanting other shades over these, especially Zero Degrees, I can’t recommend that one enough! Smitten is super cute too :) thank you for watching!!

[@sunbeamnails]

Your dedication to these swatch and reviews!!🙌🏽😮‍💨👏🏽 Invite Only is giving distant cousin of Zero Degrees. **Last Call… HOLY COW 🤩🤩🤩🤩 **Ball Drop over black reminds me of Party Popper by Cirque !!!!

[@PolishedYogi]

Tysm Bestie!!! 😮‍💨 but righttt I love the distant cousins analogy for polishes lol it’s so accurate! I can’t wait to see Last Call on you! 🤩 and ooo I can see that with Ball Drop & Party Popper! I like the black rainbow vibes of both 🌈🖤

[@danamarie0424]

I really liked this collection. It will def be put on my list

[@PolishedYogi]

Glad to hear that! :)

[@christinesteiner7023]

Beautiful swatches Stefanie 💖 I am not sure what I should think of this collection. Golden Hour, Harvest, Trapped, Winter Wonderland (yes I ended-up getting that full collection too) knocked it out of the park and this one… leaves me a bit less captivated. To me it looks a bit like a toned down version of Trapped. I have just the magenta one on my wishlist 💖💖💖

[@PolishedYogi]

thanks so much Christina!! 🥰 I felt the same exact way too, where this one wasn’t as strong as the others you mentioned (though personally I think I would swap Golden Hour with Splashed 👀). I can see how they remind you of Trapped! Even though I didn’t compare Lured, the shade of blue flakies is kinda similar. The magenta is definitely a fun one though!! That & Last Call are the most unique to my collection personally :)

[@georgiamountzouri7996]

Nice job Stefanie, thank you! Greetings from Greece!

[@PolishedYogi]

thank you so much!! 🤗💙

[@bluebluemoon3835]

oh no, I’m disappointed by Last Call! when they posted the initial collection photo, I was so excited by that color in particular- but it’s way less purple than I thought it would be. I already have Midnight Kiss from them, and I think the overall effect would be a little too similar for me. thanks for the speedy swatches!

[@PolishedYogi]

aw I’m sorry! Yeah I think they’re photos really show off the certain color shift in some of these, I definitely thought the same that it looked more purple than I was seeing it. it still has that same purple flash, just not like all the time I guess. Sadly I don’t have Midnight Kiss, but it definitely seems similar enough, where you can layer a purple shimmer on top of that and more or less get a dupe of Last Call 😅 ty for watching though!! I’m glad these helped :)

[@littleleslie13]

I love ball drop over the black and the white✨🎆

[@PolishedYogi]

so fun right?! such an easy way to transform you mani 🎊

[@cat_623]

These aren't different enough from many that I already have in my collection to justify purchasing... that seems to be my mantra the past couple of years, now that I have a decently large collection (around 600 polishes). I know others have MUCH larger collections, or much smaller! Thank you for the review and the comparisons. I appreciate seeing both bottle comparisons and on-the-nail comparisons. 😊 How many days do you typically wear a particular color? For me it is 5-6 days, so I don't actually work my way through my collection as fast as some people do.

[@PolishedYogi]

i hear you!! I’ve been the same way where i’d be so excited for a release, but then realize I have something similar already so its not worth getting 😅 I don’t know exactly how many I have but its a little more than 2 helmers worth, and I while I’m expecting a third helmer, I still would rather go through my collection to eliminate as many dupes as I can. Its tough for certain colors though 🙈 at most I could wear a polish for 4 days! I find my nails grow fast and I hate the grown out look, so usually I’ll switch it up every 2-3 days. I need to be better about reaching for my untrieds 😝

[@tdelphia1]

This is the collection I was hoping for earlier in Nov, but they released the other winter collection which didn’t wow me. So, I took advantage of their Back Friday special and got in a big order. Aaaaaand, I think I bought near dupes for most of these in my BF binge lol. I am sure curious how Last Caall looks next to Midnight Kiss because those seem like they are very close. Thanks for the quick swatching…that is always so helpful for people wanting to take advantage of special pricing!

[@PolishedYogi]

Ohh I can see how color wise the winter collections would’ve worked better if they were flipped! and yeah someone else commented about Midnight Kiss too!! It definitely looks pretty similar but I’m sure it would look a lot more blue next to Last Call if that makes sense.. like you’d see more of the purple come out when comparing it to more of a true royal blue? but of course, thank you for watching!!

[@janetdunleavy3926]

Bahahaha! Def was one of those that was super skeptical of this collection. But I have to say I super LOVED Ruby! Def my top pick on this collection. I really thought I would love Good Fortune, but I think you are so right. I love Zoya Merida so much more and need to get that asap! 💚 the other one that I thought was super pretty was Last Call. But I just don’t know that it is deferent enough from others in my collection to warrant it. But is such a gorgeous blurple! I actually didn’t pick up Cirque Fantasia when it came out but man that is pretty! I would def opt for that over the ILNP.

[@PolishedYogi]

hehe i was so curious to see how you felt after seeing some swatches!! 😝 isn’t Ruby STUNNING?! I mean you already saw me wearing it lol! & I’m surprised you said that about Good Fortune, I figured you might still “need” it 🤣 but agree, Merida is just 🤩 I wonder if Cirque Fantasia is still available, I don’t remember if it was LE or not but def worth grabbing!

[@janetdunleavy3926]

@@PolishedYogi I know! I got a sneak peak of Ruby on you! I really really love that one! Will be perfect for valentine mani’s too! And I really can’t wait to get Merida in my collection. Love the color and love the name! I don’t know if I ever told you but my hubby is Scottish. So he will super get a kick out of Merida. 💚

[@nataliesirota2611]

I LOVE ILNP and have been waiting for this release. I definitely think I will get Ball Drop, but maybe pass on the others. I think I have dupes already in my collection. Also, not a huge fan of the thinner formula. I love your side-by-side comparisons. Thanks!

[@PolishedYogi]

glad you’ll be getting Ball Drop, that ones so fun! & yeah so many people have been mentioning having dupes or similar enough shades too. I don’t think this was as strong of a collection as previous ones, but I still enjoyed those sparkly colors so much 🤩

[@kittyweeg8587]

Great review! Have you tried their new base and top coats at all?

[@PolishedYogi]

thanks so much! :) and I actually have - totally forgot to mention anything about them in this video bc I had filmed it prior to testing them. I might share more to my IG stories, I’m not the best person to ask when it comes to longevity.. but overall I’m conflicted 😅 The base seems to work well for me; I haven’t had chips on my right hand in the 4 days, and I ALWAYSSS get chips like the next day or two. so i’m impressed with that… but I saw they claimed their topcoat was shrink resistant and I didn’t really find that to be the case 😬 (hence sharing to stories so you can see what I mean, because it coulddd also just be tip wear). I do really like the brushes for both and hope they’ll switch the polish brushes to these, but found the topcoat to be a little on the thinner side compared to other topcoats so it wasn’t as thick and glossy, but it dried down pretty fast and shiny! I definitely plan to use it again though, its not my favorite so far but not bad by any means.

[@kittyweeg8587]

@@PolishedYogi awesome, thanks for the info!

[@InvisibleRen]

These are pretty in the sun, but I hate them for a winter collection. As a Soft Autumn with brown skin, I actually wouldn’t wear any of these colors/formulas outside of summer, if at all. (With the exception of Ruby, but I already have China Glaze Ruby Pumps).

[@PolishedYogi]

That’s totally fair! I had similar thoughts at first about these being super bright, and even the blue feeling a bit like a summer color to me. China Glaze Ruby Pumps is SO perfect for the season though!! ♥️

[@kaffhocker]

How do you manage to get your hands so early on new collections?

[@PolishedYogi]

They send these to me in PR :)
