Off the Grid
ILNP Off the Grid Holographic Nail Polish ($10.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a darker, more muted purple base chocked full of dirty gold-to-warmer gold shimmer and holographic micro-flakes. The texture was smooth, fluid, and easy to work with over my nail without it pooling along the edges. It dried down fairly quickly to a smooth, even finish.
Per the brand, it has its maximum coverage in two to three coats. In the swatches, I’ve applied two coats using Deborah Lipmann Gel Lab Pro base and top coats, which was all that was necessary for full coverage. I wore this shade for 10 days and had minor tip wear and no chips.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.4 oz. - $25.00 Per Ounce
The brand has several finishes, though some overlap, and they primarily have polishes with some shimmer to them, which often includes holographic, duochromatic, or multichromatic shimmer and effects.
The majority of shades specifically list how many coats are necessary for full coverage, which typically ranged from two to three, though a few went as high as four coats; the jelly finish, as expected, tended to be the sheerest. I found that what was stated was typically accurate to opacity performance. Most shades needed two coats for even (and/or opaque) coverage.
More metallic shades--often multichromes--had barely visible brush strokes from a normal viewing distance (as compared to a close-up photo, which is magnified). An additional coat sometimes made these even less noticeable, and then a good layer of top coat further reduced the visibility.
Both the holographic and multichrome shades presented with visible shifts and even dispersion of holographic shimmer/sparkle. Some of the multichrome shades had less contrasting shifts, so the effect wasn't as strong head-on (e.g. shifting between blue to violet to warmer purple) but readily visible just glancing at my nails resting on the desk and so on. Many shades had finer pearl/shimmer, which danced and caught the light beautifully but ensured a smooth texture and easier removal.
The formula tended to have a light to light-medium viscosity to it, which ensured fluid, more even coverage without being thick, goopy, or so thin that it dried down as one applied it to nail. Some of the black-based shimmer shades seemed to be a little thinner relative to the jelly or multichrome finishes. Most shades self-leveled and hid my more ridged nails, though a good base and top coat would be ideal. Overall, the polishes were smooth and easy to work with, while the brush itself wasn't too wide nor too narrow, though I had to be most careful working with some of the richer shades on my pinky!
The drying time seemed average; I was able to add a second (and/or third) coat after I had done the other nails on my hand. I would give the Multichromes a little extra time to dry down just to ensure the least visible brush strokes in the end result, though. For the more sparkly and textured shades, like the glitters, I felt like a top coat really helped to bring everything together to give the end result a shiny, plush effect.
Of the shades I've done full wear tests for (about 20 shades at the time of writing the overview), none of them have chipped over the course of a week. I've had minor tip wear across the board with some shades having very minor tip wear at that.
That being said, it's typical for me to have polish last a week or longer on me, though, and I have not personally had issues with finding a formula that wears a week with minor tip wear but no chipping. The primary source of tip wear likely comes from typing on the computer, though I also open small, paper cartons and peel off labels routinely when opening new products (for review).

Sitting Fireside
ILNP Sitting Fireside Holographic Nail Polish ($10.00 for 0.4 oz.) has a darker, burgundy-to-copper metallic base with larger holographic flakes strewn throughout. I was impressed with how smoothly and evenly the polish applied despite being quite metallic, so brush strokes didn’t end up being visible. The consistency was a touch thicker than others in the range (from what I’ve tried), so I had to be careful to use a little less to ensure I wasn’t over-applying per coat.
Per the brand, it has its maximum coverage in two to three coats. In the swatches, I’ve applied two coats using Deborah Lipmann Gel Lab Pro base and top coats, which yielded full coverage. I wore this shade for 10 days and had minor tip wear and no chips.

Underground
ILNP Underground Holographic Nail Polish ($10.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a black base cream with larger holographic flakes that danced between warm orange, yellowy orange, green, and red with a hint of blue at times. It was slightly thinner than other shades I’ve tried, but it didn’t impede the application as the color went on evenly, wasn’t prone to pooling, and self-leveled as it dried down to a smooth, even finish.
Per the brand, it has its maximum coverage in three to four coats. In the swatches, I’ve applied two coats using Deborah Lipmann Gel Lab Pro base and top coats, which was sufficient for full coverage for the most part, so I’d say a third would be ideal. I wore this shade for 10 days and had minor tip wear and no chips.
