The new ILNP ‘Fairy Forest’ Collection is a 6 piece collection of “whimsical and ethereal shades, each formulated to transport you to a world of wonder and delight. Carefully crafted to capture the spirit of an enchanted forest, from lively magnetics to luminous shimmers, enter Fairy Forest and watch in awe as you’re sure to experience a touch of magic with every swipe.” This collection was sent to me compliments of the brand and can be picked up here.

Clover
‘Clover’ is an “enchanting chartreuse-leaning jelly that embodies the lively energy of the whimsical woodlands. Reminiscent of the dappled sunlight that filters through tall trees, a precise ratio of scattered holographic flakes stand out within the unique pear base, creating a mesmerizing sparkle that effortlessly builds with each layer.” This is a shade of green that I just can’t get on board with. I think it looks terrible with my skin tone, so I don’t tend to wear colors like this. I’m sure it will look lovely on the right skin tone. It’s an easy 3 coater.
Fawn
I was surprised to see a shade like this in a Spring Collection, but it works. ‘Fawn’ is an “earthy brown magnetic with copper shimmer, copper flakes, and silver flakes.” I’m still working on my magnetic polish skills, so my swatch is definitely not the greatest. This beauty is gorgeous with or without a magnet in my opinion, and is an easy 2 coater.
Enchantment
Another magnetic polish that I failed to use correctly. Lol. ‘Enchantment’ is a “mesmerizing teal that will leave you spellbound, ‘Enchantment’ casts the perfect balance of holographic micro-flakes and dazzling blue shimmer alongside a magnetic green shimmer. Once magnetized, ‘Enchantment’ reveals a concentrated green-to-blue shimmer that will leave you feeling like you’ve just stepped into a fairy tale.” Another fabulous description from the ILNP website. I love reading their polish descriptions. The descriptions alone make me want them! This beauty is a must have, is an easy 2 coater and is perfect magnetized or not. It’s a fave!
Fairy Dust
‘Fairy Dust’ is definitely another fave from this collection. This beauty is “infused with a generous dusting of intense orange sparkle that shimmers and shifts like magic. Fairy Dust dazzles with every movement of your hands. Full of charm, Fairy Dust’s holographic sparkle creates a finishing touch to this mesmerizing beauty.” My swatch photo does this beauty no justice. I got this one opaque in 2 easy coats and think this one is a must have from the collection.
Pixie Party
‘Pixie Party’ is another beauty with a formula similar to ‘Fairy Dust.’ This beauty is a “delicate pink jelly infused with a captivating green-to-blue center shimmer that readily sparkles in a playful dance across your nails. A fluttering holographic sparkle joins the party and illuminates your manicure, radiating a prismatic twinkle that is nothing short of fun.” Another 2 coater that is pure perfection.
Up Above
Last, but not least, we have ‘Up Above.’ This is a 3 coater that’s easy to apply and looks beautiful on the nail. ‘Up Above’ is a “creamy pastel blue sprinkled with gold-to-green iridescent flakes and a touch of holographic sparkle. Embodying a playful and whimsical essence, every stroke of Up Above will leave you feeling like you’re soaring through the treetops and dancing among fairies.” Again, my swatch of this beauty does it no justice. I love the flakes and holo sparkle in this polish.
Final Thoughts?
The new ILNP ‘Fairy Forest’ Collection is perfect for the transition from Spring to Summer. I love the variety of finishes in this collection, and I will definitely be wearing most of these this summer. Let me know your thoughts!

All the colors look stunning! Really like Clover and Enchantment. I’m not a pink polish girl usually, but Pixie Party looks so pretty. It seems kind of like ILNP’s Opal Sunset, wonder how they’d look in comparison swatches.
