Milani Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry Swatches/Review

Good Morning,

Wouldn't it be nice if all of our polishes we own were one coaters?  That means you can do a quick mani and be out the door in know time.  Milani has some in there new LE Summer Collection.

                      Instantaneous Blue

This is a gorgeous glass Fleck blue.  It has pink flecks in it but it does not show up on the nail.  For me I had to use 3 coats to cover tips of my nails.  For you shorties you will need 2 coats.  This one was not a one coater. 

Hot Pink Frenzy

A bright pink creme but not a neon.  This was a one coater but I like to use at least two coats (it's a habit)

No topcoat was used on these.  They did not dry in 60 seconds like they claim to. I love the new pro-wide brush.  I do like the formula on these and this collection has some pretty colors.  I haven't seen this collection at CVS or Walgreen's.  Milani's are starting to become distinct in my area.  I hope you can find them.  Go ahead and pick up a few.


New Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquer – fast and luxurious, to get you on the GO – their new flat brush for fast and flawless application that dries in 60 seconds. For an additional pop of color use Milani’s High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquers for extreme shine and electrifying nails. These high voltage bright pigments are available in eight high fashion shades and great for the summer season!


Available Shades: Purple Rush, Instantaneous Blue, Racy Green, Fast Fuchsia, Jiffy Orange, Violet Dash, Yellow Whiz, & Hot Pink Frenzy.


(The ones I swatched were sent to me for review)

 
Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠) Share/Bookmark

A Quilt of Nail Polish!

Good Morning on this lovely day!  It's Hump day Wednesday.  I was browsing several articles and came upon an interesting article on nail polish.  It's an old article so I'm sure some of you have seen it already.  This is for you that haven't seen it.  This lovely lady sure had to have some patience and I would say she is a Great Artist!  You see that's why you should never throw out old polish, because you never know what you might can use it for.   

Urbana woman turns car into quilt of nail polish by Chris Brown Staff Writer


When Jill Bell noticed a dent on the hood of her car two winters ago, she thought it would be appropriate to paint a Band-Aid on the scrape.  After the painted bandage survived the ice and snow of winter, Bell decided that she wanted to repaint her car entirely - in nail polish.

Over the next 13 months, from September 2007 to this  October 2008, she completely covered her car in a quilt-like pattern – as a quilter, she found the multi-pattern paint job fitting, she said. Bell said she collected between 100 to 250 bottles of nail polish, but did not have an exact idea as she simply used bottles from anyone she could get it from.

"Lots of ladies in my church donated nail polish, and lots of ladies at Weight Watchers, too," she said. She said it would be nearly impossible for her to estimate the dollar value of all the bottles, as each brand cost a different amount – anywhere from under a dollar to $5.

 And what was the reaction to the unconventional paint job?  Bell said that while children seem to flock to her car, many adults gave her strange looks.  "The only people who have said anything are the people that liked it," Bell said.

Jill Bell of Urbana spent a little more than a year painting her 1993 Saturn with 250 bottles of nail polish.

So, my question,  how many cars your nail polish collection can paint?  I'll never tell (giggles)

Until next time please have a great nail polish day!  ^_^
