*Review composed in 2021 As promised here is my first experience with ILNP and the start of a whole new little obsession. Dear Santa (I've been calling it 'Santa Baby' as that song plays non-stop in my head when I look at my nails and let the light play against the morphing tones, haha) Description of the shade- "Dear Santa is a delightfully deep burgundy duochrome full of elegance. Inundated with subtly shifting red-to-gold shimmer, Dear Santa showcases a minimal and refined duochrome finish reminiscent of smooth and cozy cashmere." My impression- This shade may have Christmas tidings on the label but when applied my mind immediately travels to vibrant fall and feathered boas. There is a subtle shift of deep satiny cranberry to copper and gold depending on how the polish catches the light and complete opacity is about 3 coats. Longevity is an impressive 5 to 7 days with no top coat before a severe chip occurs (and that is with heavy hand washing, surgical glove wearing and even home chores). Dear Santa is one magnetic shade that says one fabulous night is in store and ILNP polishes are definitely worth the hype on social media; they have one impressive formula there.
