Happy Sunday! I decided to try one of the new ilnp flakies that I just purchased with my Spring 2015 pre-order.
All I can say is thank goodness for work-day Saturdays. When else would I get my nails done?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! China Glaze Unpredictable and Sinful Colors Green Ocean
It's that time of year again! Green manicures for St. Patrick's Day. I do absolutely nothing for St. Patrick's day other than have green bagels, green donuts, green ... all the cakes, basically.
I also love this time of year because it reminds me of my 2 year old struggle to find Sinful Colors' Green Ocean, which is part of their (yearly) limited edition St. Patrick's Day display. It took me that long to find a bottle anywhere, and believe me, I went to a good 10+ Walgreens each year until I finally found it! And freaked out and bought like 3 bottles so I'd never run out ever.
That being said, I requested that my boyfriend find a color that he likes with Green Ocean. Frankly, I don't think this mani does it justice, but it was interesting to use it over something other than your typical black.

ilnp multichrome remix!
I did want to open new/unused polishes every week to wear and swatch, but when your boyfriend asks you to try mixing up some of the super expensive birthday polishes that he bought for you, you must!
On Saturdays that I have to work, I paint my nails every single time. It's great--if I'm too busy and my nails end up going a few weeks without being polished, I can always count on Saturday shift to get myself manicured!
This week, wonderful boyfriend picked ilnp Phoenix and Brilliance. He wanted me to mix some of the glitters, but ones that were very different and I think he made an awesome choice.

A reason to blog; ilnp multichromes
The real reason that I wanted to start blogging, aside from what I mentioned in my previous post, is the new ilnp.com multichrome collection. I saw someone post a swatch of one of the colors on instagram and immediately died.
I searched and searched for swatches, and was only able to find a few results, seeing as how they're still pretty new.
Because I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the universe, he bought 7 of them for me for my birthday!
These beauties are 0.4 Fl. Oz (12 mL) and come in at $12.50 each. This is pretty steep, in my opinion, especially for an indie, but these polishes are WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.
Posting my swatches (and reviews) after the jumpie jump.
