Milani Texture Swatches

I wasn't able to track down the Mailani Texture polishes in my area stores, but I was able to order them online. I am so glad I did! 

Tonight I have swatches of all 6 colors of the new Limited Edition Milani Textured polishes, and they are FABULOUS!!

 

When I originally saw these new 'textured' polishes I really wasn't a fan at first, but like everything else nail related I at least had to give it a try. I took a chance and ordered this entire collection, and I have no regrets. These polishes are so pretty and it's LOVE for me.

This set is Limited Edition set, so you should grab it while you can. If you are not able to find it in your local drugstores you can still purchase them online HERE.

ON TO THE SWATCHES.....

AQUA SPLASH:

This was one of my two favorites of the collection. The formula was easy to apply on this one. Not all the formulas where the same, and this was the best of my bottles. All the polishes were difficult to apply at first, but once you get the hang of it, it became very simple. I used mostly 2 coats and sometimes 3. You don't want to make it too thick. I noticed the polish would remain shiny if you layered it too thick. It was best to do this in thin coats and wait for each layer to completely dry, before you moved to the next coat. This way you got the best matte textured finish. 

I know this may look like a scratchy sand paper nightmare to some, but it was totally fine for me. It did not feel bad at all. It didn't snag clothing etc, and felt only like there was a slight difference to the surface of the nail versus regular polish. How gorgeous is this. It's like sugar coated nail!!!!

PURPLE STREAK:

This one is so super pretty. It's a bold purple and really worked good with my skin tone. The formula on this was also great. My Hubby's fav color is purple, so I love this one.

I really didn't want to take this off to swatch the next color. That was the most difficult part of swatching these. Once they were on, I did not want to take them off.

YELLOW MARK:

This was my absolute favorite. I LOVE LOVE this color and with the combo of the texture is is now  one of my ALL time favorite polishes in my entire collection now. The formula on this was a little tougher, but usually yellow polish is a bear to work with in any brand/finish.

I can not get over how much I love this one. 

This polish reminds of flock nails but way neater to apply and more textured.

TAINTED IN RED:

This one is a super neat tomato red. I loved the color of this one. The formula on this was easy, but almost too watery. I had a few issues with it running into my cuticles. You have to be really precise with this one. If you get this on your cuticles, it's tough to get off.

SHADY GRAY:

This was another favorite in the collection. This formula was great and easy to apply. I loved the look of this. It looked like a freshly paved road lol. I thought it looked so amazing.

 

 If you love gray polishes do not miss this one, it;s a must have for all gray lovers. 

SPOLIED IN FUSCHIA:

This was probably my least favorite of all the polishes. I am a pink lover, but this formula was blah to me. It was way watery and so tough to keep off the cuticles. I think it was that it made my fingers look to pinkish and everything looked kinda blah. You can see how I got some on my cuticle of my ring finger and it still there. I'm so glad I swatched this last because it was hard to get this pink off. It was a stainy type for me. Is stainy a word? lol

It still is a pretty polish and I don't regret having it.

I hope you guys enjoyed these. I'm anxious to swatch the other textured polishes I have. 

What do you guys think? Is this polish YEAH or NAY for you? I would love to hear your thoughts on these. Leave your comments below.

Dollish Polish Go Luigi

Tonight is the last polish in my Dollish Polish Mario Swatch Marathon. I'm so sad it's at the end! If you would like to see the whole Dollish Polish Mario collection click HERE.

This one is a CRAZY AMAZING polish. My jaw dropped when I saw how it was turning out. I want to marry this bottle of polish :P 

I started out with 2 coats of Milani Key West. This polish is a must have for ever collection.The shimmer is so kick butt on this lol. I tried to capture the shimmer and these pics do not do it justice. Multiple the shiny holiness x 1000. The color was a tough one to photograph too. It's a tad more greenish blue. It started like this...

The glitters are so bright and sparkly. It has GORGEOUS green and blue hex glitters, with star glitter scattered throughout.

The pictures speak for themselves...

I did have to place the star glitters, but they easy stuck to the brush with a quick stir here and there. 

If you don't like the star glitters you can easy leave them out. This reminded me of a mermaid nails.

Thank so much for following along with me each evening for the last week. I had a blast swatching these all. I hope you guys all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Indie Spotlight: Candy Lacquer (w/Milani Key West)

Today I'm wearing a mani that I absolutely LOVE!  The base color is Milani Key West and then I added an Indie Polish Glitter Topcoat made by Candy Lacquer called High Tide. It's glitter in a clear coat so it can be applied over all types of colors.  This combination is mermaid nails made easy :) Candy Lacquer polishes can be purchased HERE at Etsy. Currently the shop is empty, but you can be notified via email when the store is restocked.

I really love how this came out. It's late night and I was a little bit in a rush doing this mani, but I still love the results.

This is my first Candy Lacquer Polish and it will not be my last lol. I thought this would be extremely gritty and bumpy, but with one coat of SV it is smooth as glass. (**please note: these picture were all prior to applying the SV topcoat - which was an after thought to smooth things out)

 

Do you guys like?  I LOVE! Candy Lacquer has now been added to my favorite list!

This is my second post today so make sure you scroll down and check out my facial masks/scrubs series.

Milani 581: Lavender

Since I can never leave a creme polish alone these days, you know I had to add some bling to my Nails Inc Thames. I added Milani Lavender 581. This is a perfect nail polish to top over gray. I love the combination of the two colors.

It's truly Blingtastic! 

 I can't stop staring at my nails lol. I took this picture outside so you can see how they look in the sun :)

My New Ott Light and Untried No. 9 : Milani Hi-Tech 3D

Usually I only post one untried a weekend, but today I ended up doing another untried. So I figured I would come share it with you guys.

First I wanted to show you guys my new Ott light :) This is the light I use to take my pictures. 

Pin It

I purchased this at Jo-Ann Fabrics. They were having a 40% off OTT lights for Presidents Day, plus I used a 10% off coupon as well. This ended up costing me $USD 24.00!  What a deal. This was originally close to 50$'s regular price. It is still currently on sale, so you can still pick it up for the sale price.

I set it up and used it for my next Untried. Milani High-Tech 3D.

I really like how the light shows off the Holo in this polish. You get wonderful detail with it. 

It is a gorgeous polish, and is now added to my Top 10 list. It was so easy to apply and it dried really fast. This is the perfect go to polish when you want a quick and easy mani.

I couldn't help but take a lot of pictures of this.

Then I decided to take it outside for the sun light. unfortunately the day was ending.

I think with the sun setting they came out really cool. 

Hope you guys like it! Thanks for visiting.

Untried No.7 - Wet n Wild Night Prowl & Checkered Tape Mani!

I'm a little early with my Untried Saturday this week :) I used Wet n Wild Night Prowl for this one, which is GORGEOUS in every way. I can't believe I had this one sitting for so long.

I decided to try a checkered tape mani today. I have been wanting to try this for awhile and I finally got to it! It's no where near perfect, but for my first time I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I started out with night Prowl as my Base color. 

Check out the Sparkle!

I then taped off one half of the nail using Scotch Tape and added Milani Digital until I got this...

After that I added a layer of SV and waited 15 minutes, and then finished it off and taped off the other half of the nail.  This is the final result.

I love it! 

Hope you guys like it as much as I do.

THANKS for VISITING!

Milani Digital

First I want to say hello and WELCOME to all my new followers, thank you for visiting and for all the kind comments that I have been receiving :)

Today I decided to take advantage of the sunlight that I finally got.  I wanted something soft and delicate but with a punch, and Milani Digital has delivered. This is two coats and I did not put a Top Coat on.  I heard Top Coats dull Holos, so I wanted to try without one first.

With this you have to search for the holo a little, but it's there if you look close enough.

I'm trying to improve my photo skills and hopefully you guys like these shots as much as my usual style.

Let me know if you guys like the new photo style lol.  Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Thanks for visiting.
