MILANI ONE COAT GLITTER - PURPLE GLEAM

Ahhh, the crowning jewel of the swatches I have shown you. I fell deeply in love with this color. This color is nothing short of AMAZING! I need the rest of the glitter from this collection - I just decided! While it wasn't quite a one coater - once coat did apply way better than most glitters. What makes this color so awesome is the black that is in this. Even after looking at these close up pictures I'm still not certain if this is in a black base or has very small micro black glitter in it. Either way - get this!

This dries to a cool matte look - of course I want my glittah to shine, but I took a picture of this without top coat so you could see the cool matte effect of this one. It is at the very bottom of this post.

One other VERY awesome thing about this polish was that it removed really well too. The glitter is so small that it didn't want to stick to my nails and removed much better.

MILANI JEWEL FX - GEMS

Ya'll KNOW I liked this one - glittah is my thing! Gems is VERY similar to Lippmann's Happy Birthday. They are almost dupes, but not quite. The glitter colors are a little different and the shape of some of the glitter is different. However, with out a close up photo and side by side comparison, you can't really tell the difference. Shown is 2 coats - and you can see how well this covered.

NYX GIRLS - CHOCOLATE TAUPE w/ KLEANCOLOR V.I.P.

I layered Kleancolor V.I.P. over NYX Girls Chocolate Taupe.

DEBORAH LIPPMANN - GET THIS PARTY STARTED SWATCHES

I am so excited to share these pictures with you all. As soon as I saw this collection I knew I needed to have it. Deborah Lippmann took the awesome Happy Birthday - and built on it! This has me thinking she needs a whole line of polishes like this with different colored bases - we need a blue one and green one and red one and purple one and . . . .etc!

All of these applied really nice. They are all shown with three coats, but really you could get away with 2 if you really took your time to apply them.


CANDY SHOP
I love how the pink base is still clear enough to let the glitters shine through and it also creates a really nice layered look with the glitter too. This is awesome!









FORGET YOU
The over the hill version of Happy Birthday - lol, get it?? Anyway, this is the black version and it is really awesome too. This one applied really nice with 2 coats, better than Happy Birthday & Candy Shop. I love the look of dark and then bam - glittah in your face!









HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The one that started it all! What can be said about this, that hasn't allready been said? It's a party in a bottle! This one is great because you can layer it over other colors or wear it on it's own.

KLEANCOLOR - MINI GLITTER COLLECTION

Today I have some glittah for ya! I picked up this little mini collection at my local beauty supply for $3.99. It contained 6 mini glitter polishes from Kleancolor. I was surprised by how much I liked these on their own. I think I was most shocked by V.I.P. - the glitter colors I wasn't expecting, I just think it is amazing. I also really liked 24 karat and Kiss Goodbye, too.
