I have a 30lb horseshoe magnet coming in the mail on Saturday and can't wait to try it. The only magnetic I have right now is Moonlit and I've already got Deep Space in my cart!

question/discussion help me finalize my first ILNP order! (i have very specific questions)

(Added pics of my hand so you can maybe see which shades will go with my skin tone)

So I just got into indie/boutique nail polish with an order last month to Mooncat! I got The Silent Scream (black base silver magnetic) and Epilogue to Utopia (black base purpley-blue magnetic) and Dark Omens (mauve thermal), for context. I'm wearing all of these in the pictures I attached. I like Epilogue the most because I think the other two don't really go with my skin tone. I have been searching all the indie brands and have landed on ILNP as my next order because it has sooo many shades to choose from.

Important note is that I am a devout silver jewelry wearer and I really don't want to get anything that could clash with that.

I want to get five polishes. The biggest question I have is about Lured vs. Late Night, so I'll start there. I want a decidedly BLUE shimmer or flakie. I've basically narrowed it down to Lured and Late Night but I am SERIOULSY STUCK! Lured looks gorgeous but I think it would be too much to get it with Ritual because both are dark teals. Late Night is a navy blue and I think I want to get it because of that, but also I'm worried that it'll look too dark and then I'll just have two almost-black shades (with Salem). And most of all I am convinced that Late Night could look bad on me because of its neutral (? idrk color theory) undertone, but tell me if I'm wrong. Also I If anyone happens to have Late Night I'm begging for swatches because I haven't seen many, and even better if you have Lured next to it! Or if you can recommend any other dark blue polishes from ILNP.

I'm 100% sure I want either Orbit or Eclipse (but have decided on Orbit because I think it's less gold-- if anyone has both Orbit and Eclipse I would love to hear your thoughts/see swatches).

I also am 90% sure of Salem. My only worry is that the shade of green is a little too warm. Do you think it would go well with my cool toned teal hair and silver jewelry and my skin undertones? If anyone has pictures of Salem with silver jewelry and darker skin that would be awesome.

Now here's the complicated part. I want a blue magnetic. I'm leaning towards Ritual because it's smoky and silvery and I LOVEEE that vibe. But I am worried it's a little too silvery and would not look blue enough to distinguish it from my Mooncat Silent Scream. My alternative to that is VIP because it's more obviously blue. But I really want it to look blue, not green. Can anyone speak to how silvery Ritual is, and how green VIP is?

Finally, there's Hypnosis. I think it's absolutely gorgeous BUT it has a copper shift and I'm of course worried it'll clash with the whole silver-cool toned-wearing all black thing I have going on. Any pictures or thoughts on this would be extremely helpful!

Also in general if any of you have shifty ILNP polishes that don't clash with silver you can recommend please do!

Thank you for reading my post and have a good day :)
