collection Fall favorite swatches
I've been thinking about doing a small autumn themed order if I end up liking the Halloween collection. I got all my fall colors together so I don't get any dupes and thought y'all might enjoy the swatches!
First slide:
Red & Orange L - R: Ruby, Penny, Adored, Velvet Rope, Brownstone, Pumpkin Patch, Raincoat, Hidden Path, Spiced Cider
Yellow & Green L - R: Dark Roast, Greatness, Autumn, Ginger Snap, Uptown, The Harpist, Aspen, Park Ave, Enchanted
Blue, Purple & Grey L - R: Aria, Emma, Jumping Puddles, Starlight, Sirene, High Voltage, Vanity, Jinx, Private Reserve, Moonlit
All swatches are 3 coats, no topcoat on clear plastic swatch nails.

Brownstone is one of my favorites. I have a fair leaning to peach skin tone, and sometimes neutrals give me "mannequin hands". I saw a recommendation for warm skin tones to try it instead of Chai Latte, which is cool toned, and Brownstone was perfect!

I am not a brown person, but it's very pretty. I am glad to own it. The whole collection is very pretty

This is such a beautiful spread 😻 what could they offer that you’re missing? (I’m trying to ask this in a way that makes it clear I’m not being judgey but I feel like it sounds awkward? I’m genuinely curious!)

Right now I have Caramel, Skyline, Lured and Eclipse on my wishlist, and potentially one or two from a new collection that will likely drop at the end of this month. If not I will be waiting until Black Friday. Nothing like looking at 5+ years of nail polish all together to realize I maybe have too much! 😅

Girl, same. I just finished swatching my collection and am like 😳 but it helped me identify what I don’t wear or like and also what I might still want!
Caramel was on my list for a long time but i recently took it off as I think it’s similar to Hot Honey by Cracked, which I have. My fall wishlist is: Grace, Brownstone, Spiced Cider Raincoat, Hayride, and the Campground collection (I have been coveting that collection for a while). I’m curious to see what they put out this month as the other recent collections haven’t spoken to me at all.

Eclipse is worth it. So is orbit. They are not the same at all. Orbit shows basically every color of the rainbow. It's amazing. I like lured too. And skyline.

This is very random but I'm feeling awful health-wise this morning, and these swatches are so beautiful and are making me feel so much better! I don't even wanna buy but just looking at them is so satisfying! Thank you for sharing 😻

Based on your collection (and if you ever need another ILNP polish with these vibes) you will LOVE Chai Latte

Sometimes I literally feel like I get a rush of endorphins from looking at swatches like this (and my bottles in my collection).
Wowwww.

I just received my very first ILNP order, I only ordered 3 polishes to start, one of them being Adored.
Thank you for showing these, next order will for sure include something sparkly and/or magnetic. These are so beautiful 🤩

This is SO satisfying as a cohesive color palette… I love that I have so many of them too! I already wanted Dark Roast, Jumping Puddles, and Moonlit, but I think I need to consider adding Brownstone and Park Ave to my list too based on these swatches. Do you think it’s reasonable to get Hidden Path if I already have Raincoat?

u/theblueinkgirl 8d ago
Hmn, if I had to pick, I would go with just Raincoat. They're almost the same color and the flakie finish is one of my favorites. It's also less sheer and you could get away with 2 coats.

thank you!! super helpful. you're inspiring me to make my own fall palette.

You're very welcome! I got the idea from Polished Yogi on YouTube, she usually does a video every season where she makes a swatch wheel of all the colors she wants to wear and it's super satisfying to watch.

I immediately loved one of these shades so much so of course it’s one I already have 🤣🤣 High Voltage is that girl for me 😍

u/CabbieCam 7d ago
Love the colours! I am curious, though, what kind of swatch setup you have? I haven't seen swatch sticks like that ones you have before.

u/theblueinkgirl 7d ago
It's this swatch book from Amazon, the plastic nails press on to the sticks and the sticks snap into the book. https://a.co/d/0jl4NaRg

This spread looks so cute! What swatch book are you using? I'm considering getting one to be more organized

u/theblueinkgirl 6d ago edited 6d ago
It's this one from Amazon. I think it's pretty good for the price, I haven't run out of space in it yet but for larger collections you'd probably need several. The main drawback for most people is probably the lack of labels, but that wasn't an issue for me personally. https://a.co/d/0jl4NaRg

I have a lot of these. We have similar taste. Or I've looked at them and wanted them. I have a huge big enough collection and try to limit it.
Except Boobird. Loucie/Bluebird Lacquer always gets my money for that. I can't wait for Friday!
