I got the fluorescent orange "tubocharged" after getting a dip mani I really liked. It is pretty close to the color of a construction zone cone. So VERY vivid.
I usually only use the quickdry/fastdry Sally Hansen colors as iIam terrible at waiting for my nails to dry. I did this in thin layers (tho even thin ones are mostly opaque) with no base and my first finger was dry to the touch before I was done applying my second! No tackiness or mushy-ness from nails or fingers.
Ultimately I did 2 layers and it looks pretty opaque. It does seem to be somewhat satin finish, so I added a layer of the fastdry Sally Hansen clear for a shiny topcoat cuz I like my nails to shine. But the satin finish was very pretty too.
I am also incredibly hard on my nails (can chip dip and gel in minutes of getting it applied). I do home repairs, gardening, engine work, bathing kids and pets, you name it. I am midway thru day 2 with this and no cracks, chips, or peeling yet! I will come back and add more when I've seen how this can withstand my day to day! Crossing my painted fingers that it withstands abuse cuz I LOVE the color and ease of application!
Update:
I spent the weekend power washing my house, cleaning rain gutters, weeding, doing dishes, and doing all the housework/childcare. This means I also took quite a few extra scrubby showers! Attaching updated picture of nails! I didn't prep my cuticles in the first one, so A lot of the lost color near the base in the update is just new growth, but you can see that there is some chipping. When I noticed the chipping, I picked all the lifted color off to see what I was still working which, which is still pretty impressive. Honestly, knowing that dry time is pretty non-existent, I'm not even mad that I might have to redo 2-3 nails after a heavy work weekend. Still highly recommend!
Last update:
Posting full week later pics! Has withstood multiple sessions of lap swimming along with previously highlighted chores. I also picked the lifted edges before this last set of photos to be sure the fully diminished look was provided. Still recommend!

This was my first purchase of ILNP polish and what an introduction it was! Lovely packaging and beautiful product. I have been an OPI and Essie user for years. I stopped using Essie because I discovered that as the bottle aged it required more and more drying time on my nails. I love OPI but their nude colors can be temperamental. Some can be very, very streaky and others will peel within 1-2 days, despite a base and top coat.
I purchased Birthday Suit (not pictured) based upon reviews and it is, indeed, a beautiful polish. It goes on well, with a jelly type consistency that “self levels.” You need thin coats for a beautiful look. I used a base coat, 2 coats of the polish, and a top coat. And had 10 days of wear. That’s a win for me. I would call Birthday Suit truly a nude but with a fine glitter. I did not see (at least on my skin tone — I am a medium light, neutral in foundation) any pink undertone. Maybe the polish was too much of a “birthday suit” match for my skin tone, but it was truly a nude/beige with fine glitter on my nails. Lovely but not quite what I hoped. I tried it over an OPI color (Baby Take a Vow) and magic happened. I liked that combination!
I purchased a second bottle of ILNP in the color Keepsake. (See picture. That’s 10 days of wear!). It also applied beautifully with no streaks. (I apply in thin layers, and allow drying time between coats.) Keepsake is my new favorite polish. It’s perfect for everyday wear. You don’t notice anything special about the color until sun or certain lights hit your nails but then it’s like they sparkle in the most elegant way. Not flashy, just classy. I hope ILNP never stops making Keepsake. This will be my new go-to and will replace my OPI (Baby Take a Vow) and Essie (Sugar Daddy).
For those wondering about the color, Keepsake is close to Essie’s Mademoiselle. Lovely, lovely color for those who love neutral nails with that slight pink undertone and a bit of sheerness.
UPDATE: I have used Keepsake a couple more times since my original review. Three coats is just a beautiful, opaque neutral, nude pink with a slight lilac undertone. I still love it.
I have since purchased other colors as gifts. If you are on the fence about this brand, don’t be. Buy it. Oh, an a note about drying time. This polish is not a quick dry type. You need to allow 20 min between coats for a salon smooth finish. If you apply one coat on top of another, it will look gummy and will take forever to dry. This is not unique to this brand of polish. It’s the same for any polish. Manicures take time. Find a good podcast or stream a show once a week to do your nail self-care.
