Good morning all! Well, this weekend has gone a little sideways My two older kids are fighting like cats & dogs lately, and it’s absolutely driving me bonkers. I dunno if it’s spring fever or what, but I’m tearing out my hair here!

Onto the polish! ILNP Mona Lisa is a brown “ultra” holographic nail polish. You might remember this from my extend-a-mani with Girly Bits Dreaming Tree.

Formula was good on this, no complaints! This is 3 thin coats plus top coat. I will admit that as pretty as this outside photo is…

I was a little disappointed with how it looked in regular light. The above photo was taken in the shade, but it looked similar in low light. I understand that it’s probably because of the “ultra holographic” particles in there, but it ended up just being too silvery looking overall for me. Don’t you just hate when a polish is pretty but just disappoints you anyway?
