This color was from my small order from ILNP’s BF sale and thought it would be perfect for New Year since it came from a collection themed around this holiday. I’ve been eyeing this polish for a while and it looks even more beautiful in person, especially in direct sunlight and the shimmer really sparkles. It’s supposed to be a dupe for Mooncat’s House of Hades, but I couldn’t justify spending nearly $20 for a bottle of polish and other things I’ve heard about the brand over time turned me off from ever purchasing their polishes. Even when ILNP raised their prices earlier this year, their prices were still reasonable.
Unfortunately, I did have a couple of minor issues when using this polish. The polish was gloopy so I had to add some thinner to it and the brush was wonky and made it a little harder to work with (can easily replace with another brush) so I was a little disappointed in that regard. Still think this polish was worth the purchase and now I understand first hand why this is a staple from the brand. I wish everyone a Happy New Year and hopefully a better year in 2026!
