I’ve been thinking about getting some nail polish since my job involves a lot of typing and I always seem to do better about not breaking my nails if they’re painted. And I want something different, and I was looking at ILNP’s chromatic polishes, and I’m wondering… has anybody tried them? Or, anything else like that, with a fun gimmick?

I didn’t want my first post here to be something stereotypically femme but eff it. It’s on my mind.

    I loooove ILNP’s nail polishes. I gave them all away when I moved and I’ve started repurchasing them because I really regret giving them away.

    Slightly off topic but about the breaking nails: my nails recently had been pure shit, splitting even when they were cut to the quick, super thin, just total garbage. Anyway I was desperate so I decided to try vitamins. I got vitamin D, calcium, and a skin/hair/nails combo. It took like a couple weeks tops before I started seeing a significant difference. They were so strong that they got really long (for me) and I had to cut them which is really saying something. I had been worried that I wouldn’t see results until the nail had grown out from the cuticle, but it seems the nail absorbs the nutrients via the nail bed or something. So yeah, vitamins!

      I take a ton of vitamins and also fish oil and stuff, it’s just my job. I have a real hands-intensive job. Add to that I’m clumsy, and it’s a nightmare!

      Thanks for adding this, though. I really should’ve said something as a PSA.

        I can totally relate to being clumsy! Sometimes the odds are just stacked against you (or in this case, your nails)!

    I love ILNP’s chromatic polishes. They hold up very well, I’m a guy and I don’t type but I do lots of things that trash nail polish and ILNP has become my favorite.

    All of my polishes from them are glittery, and I didn’t realize until I went to look at them to answer your question lol

    I liked them enough to buy one more time, and now I’m kind of waiting until I have a dedicated “vanity” space so I can keep them organized

      I personally use 786 cosmetics which I think is PFAS free? I’m not 100% sure about that but they’re vegan and water permeable and a bunch of other things so I think they should be?

        Sounds like, though that’s definitely something they could advertise if they were.

        Edit: looks like they claim to be “non-toxic and 21 free” but don’t specify which 21 things they are free of. XD

          They do have a list of the 21 things somewhere on their website, but I’m not sure if any of them include PFAS chemicals lol.

          Edit: Realized I didn’t actually say where the list was which isn’t very helpful haha. (It’s on the “our standards” page)

    I absolutely love ILNP, you can’t go wrong with them. The only thing I’d change is that I wish their brushes had a rounded tip, but that’s a nitpick.
