I wouldn't normally love a yellow-green, but this one is so spot-on for scarab wing covers, I just love it. Applies smoothly in two coats. (Posted on 2/16/2018)

First off, this is the “rainbow in a bottle” type of polish I’ve been dreaming about for the last 25 years. FINALLY!!
This is certainly an odd color combo... it looks sort of beige-y at certain angles, but mostly a vibrant green. This was a bday gifty from my big brother, who found it all by himself. Bravo bubby!!! I’m still trying to make it through the other 8 from Xmas! This is the first of the ultra chrome type polishes that I’ve seen that goes from a muted pink-ish-green (???) to a vibrant green. It’s just weird, but a good weird. (Posted on 2/12/2018)

Let me preface this by stating that this is not my favorite polish- it's a bit more muted than I prefer. However, it's definitely a fascinating color. In most lights, it's a muted olive green that shifts to a rose pink. In other lights it's a vibrant grass green that shifts to blue and sometimes purple. (Posted on 2/12/2018)

- 1 coat over black is enough. Might be a bit sheer when applied by itself
- Long lasting
- Formula is easy to work with
- Main shift is the mutagen green - green - blue - purple
- Red, pink, gold, green gold can be seen in some lights, during shift transitions and at extreme angles (Posted on 2/3/2018)

This chrome looks like a scarab beetle, amazing color changes in different lighting and at every angle. I can't stop playing around with the light when i wear this polish!

This is the most gorgeous green you will every see! It is a very bright, almost iguana green. Color shifts are wonderful. (Posted on 10/4/2017)

Mutagen never fails to get attention. Greens can be tricky for me - it's an olive skin thing - but Mutagen is perfect. Bonus, it's so much more than just green. It's the polish I pull out when I'm not sure what color I want to wear, because it's a whole rainbow. (Posted on 9/3/2017)

Shifty GoodnessReview by MM

Love it! This is a gorgeous multi chrome and depending on the lighting there are so many different colors reflected with this polish. You can see emerald green, bronze green, pink, teal, and deep purple depending on the lighting. Additionally there is a bit of shimmer reflecting greens, pinks, gold, and a bit of red. All in all a fantastic polish.

Mutagen is from ILNP's Ultra Chrome line of polishes. I have to say that this collection is one of my favorites from this brand because with one polish you get so many different looks depending on the lighting and the angle of your fingers.

Mutagen applied very well. The first coat was a bit sheer but with the second coat you reached full opacity. The texture and consistency were both good though I did find the consistency just slightly on the runny side. You need to be careful to avoid getting too much polish on your brush so you don't get pooling or flooding.

Per ILNP's website, a base coat is not required with this polish, but as per my habit, I did use both a base coat and a top coat. As this is a chrome polish, I did see a few very small brush strokes, but those evened out with my top coat and were not noticeable.

I like the fact that each of these polishes come with their own labeled storage boxes.

Mutagen runs $12.50 per bottle and is well worth the cost. I would repurchase Mutagen should the need arise. Additionally, ILNP shipping costs are very reasonable.

After a week of wear I had no chips. That's great wear in my book. Removal was easy and there was no staining. All in all this is a great polish. (Posted on 8/4/2017)

But personally it's not my favorite ultrachrome. However, the quality is very good. Two coats just like the other ones. (Posted on 8/2/2017)

I love Mutagen! The base color is almost a pinkish green? That should be impossible, but there ya go. I own nothing else like it! (Posted on 8/2/2017)

As a huge TMNT and green nail polish fan, this was a no brainer ;) looks actually quite pretty in person, I feel some might expect more of a "pretty-ugly" color, but there's a lot of the blue and purple that come thru. Do wish I'd gotten the (H) version, tho, for that extra sparkle! (Posted on 3/22/2017)
