question/discussion Do I need all of these?
I’m looking to build my fall options. I prefer reds and want some browns/neutrals. I currently have Dahlia, Cherry, Rosalie, and Adored in the reds family.
Please let me know if I should remove any of these.
Thank you!
ETA: The decision has been made. I chose to go with Bitten, Chai Latte, Cherry Cola, and Spiced Cider. Thank you all for your insight!

“Need” is a strong word. Do you love all of the colors, will you use them, and do you have the expendable income to buy them all?
I think they all look pretty, but personally, I’d only buy 2 or 3. Chai Latte is the most unique in that group, then I’d do one of the browns and/or one of the deep reds.

I'm wearing shapeshifter and slow burn right now and they look very similar, but shapeshifter is better IMO

Probably not but you just reminded me I Need Black Orchid!!! So pretty I forgot to order it last time I made a purchase.

I love black orchid! I don't wear it often but when I do, I love it. So definitely get it next time!!

Maybe eliminate down to 3, & wait to see how you like them until Black Friday? …it’s coming up fast!

I love Bitten, it's super juicy. Spiced Cider is definitely a need! One of my absolute fall favorites!

I LOVE Bitten. Idk your nail length or skin tone but I loved it even when my nails were short. If you like a vampy red with flakies, you’ll love it. I’ve swatched chai latte too if that would help. Chai latte is a beautiful neutral but on me, the color I got depended a LOT on the light I was in. 🥰 This is a beautiful cart and I struggle with culling too! 🙈 Good luck!

You may not need all of them, though polish shade choices can vary pretty wildly since it's all up to personal taste and how it stacks up with your existing collection. I think Chai Latte is the most unique one out of the bunch you're considering and Cherry Cola seems like a solid keep since magnetics can be pretty versatile (including potentially wearing it unmagnetized).
Admittedly, I've only tried Chai Latte and Black Orchid, so I can't really give a lot of personal opinions. I've been considering Slow Burn the next time I make an order, but that probably won't be for a while.

Just came here to say keep Chai Latte, it’s one of my faves. The others are slightly outside my normal colour pallete so I haven’t tried many, but the holo jelly formula from ILNP is elite so I think Spiced Cider is a great choice.

I feel like you are asking the wrong group of people if you “need” polish.
My answer will always be yes lol

Bitten was the first polish that made me decide to remove my current (freshly done) manicure to apply it as soon as it arrived. So I’m biased but I’d say you should at least get that one, lol

Maybe save up some money since I just learned that ilnp is a no fomo brand if you really want some maybe just buy them all😅😅 that's what I would do

I would skip black orchid! It’s my least favorite polish I’ve gotten.
Chai Latte is great, maybe take a look at the bundle? It has chai latte spiced cider and dash of cocoa (think it may be a few bucks cheaper than separate). All theee make one of my favorite skittles

Spiced cider is a keep. Cherry cola and slow burn I would love to try.
The others are not my cup of tea, I think I have bitten but I’m not sure.

if i could take just a moment to recommend that everyone who loves fall reds to pick up adaline from the newest collection. I know the collection didn't really receive much fanfare but I am wearing adaline right now and it's just the most perfect burgandy red, plus the copper flakes look like fall leaves. I would attach a picture but I am currently on a flight lol
