Milani NEON

Hi guys, a drugstore collection for y’all this time! I see them all over. They’re Milani’s Neons. I think I may be missing a few, pretty sure I’m missing a red. Do you know which ones? I’m not sure myself. I could look it up, but I’m lazy. I only have six here for you.

These polishes are kind of sheer, especially the red-pink-purple ones. Like most neons, a bit of them dry semi matte/end up having a plastic finish. I applied at least two coats, and for the sheer polishes they had three coats. I didn’t wait for them to dry before photographing because as you know I like to move on when I’m swatching, but some of them dried quickly enough for photographing.

Pink Rocks. Three coats, still slightly opaque. You can see the semi matte/plastic finish a bit here.

Dude Blue. I love this one.

Rad Purple. I was NOT a fan. Sadly. It looked just like grape juice, and this was three coats. 😦

Pink Hottie. Looking for a hot Barbie pink? This is it.

Awesome Orange

Fresh Teal. Teals are hard to photograph, and this one was no exception however it pulled strongly on the blue side. This photograph is pretty color accurate, despite the crazy skin color. I liked this one too 🙂

Going out with a bang…

This is the last of my scheduled posts, and the last of my manicures. I decided to go out with a bang and experiment with sponging, a technique I have not really fully mastered. But I love it! I think I made a mistake picking such a herpes-tastic glitter. 😦 It was so hard to clean up, and you can still see some residue in the following photos. I apologize!

I began with a base color from Avon, also in my haul recently. This is Luxe Lavender, a very beautiful pale lilac. In love, I am.

I sponged Milani Purple Gleam on the tips and stamped with Sally Hansen Chrome in Black Pearl, with Konad M60. Inside the flowers are bullion beads from a Bundle Monster nail art package.

Here comes pic spam!

Topped off with Seche Vite, of course.
I am almost done with  my first bottle, wow… But it makes sense, I do other people’s nails and finish it off with SV, and a friend comes over and uses some of it too so that’s why it would go so quickly.

This is hands down one of my most favorite manicures EVAR.

more birthday goodies.. :)

 Bundle Monster nail art wheels!! Little rhinestones, bullion beads, sequins…

 Obviously I ripped off my mani and started a new one!

 Orly Purple Pleather. Check out the interesting finish– not so quite matte, but more “plastic”

The hearts is from the BM nail wheel, and the bling on the edges of my nails as a funky french, is Milani Silver

Milani 3D Holographic

I love this collection already and I only have on one of their colors, Hi-Res. Holographic polishes have been my favorite since I was little probably because back then I kept my polish on until they completely chipped off… like my *coughadultcough* cousin still does! With the holographic polishes I would never get bored of looking at them, since I’d just have to tilt my hand and then there would be a dazzling explosion of color…

It looks gritty in the pictures but I swear it isn’t— it comes on and feels like glass. It also does this polish NO justice. Check out the video if you can, it’s kinda blurry. But it shows the glitterification :D..
