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. (✿◠‿◠)

Pink Wednesday: Two OPI's And A Little Crack

Good Morning,

Today is pink Wednesday. I was looking through my stash and realized I don't have very many pinks.  Just last week or so I picked up two pinks from OPI Nice Stems Collection.  Be A Dahlia Won't You and I Lilly Love You.  In my opinion I thought these were the winners in the collection.  

Be A Dehlia Won't You is a shimmering foil fuchsia Pink.  It really shines on the nail.  I Lily Love You is truly amazing.  It has multi flakies and glitter in a tinted clear pink base.  It is excellent for a gradient mani and so easy to do as you see on my ring finger.  I need to do a full gradient mani with this.  I love it so much I bought a backup bottle. Lol! *-*

On my dominant hand I wanted to see what Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat: Fuchsia Shock would look like.  I am so pleased with it.  It's very subtle which would be perfect for those that aren't into the crackle phase.  Will have to do a full many with the crackle as well.

I hope you didn't mind all the pictures.  What pink are you wearing today? 

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

Pink Wednesday...Something Sweet

Good Morning,

I have another Cosmetic Arts nail lacquer for you.  It's such a soft sweet pink makes me think of a baby's blanket.  The finish is a creme a little streaky.  I used three coats.  Geesh, I wish I knew the name of this one.

I don't know if I should show you the next pictures.  I thought China Glaze Crackle Haute Metal would go nicely with this sweet pink.  Silly me forgot to shake up the bottle really well before applying it.  Oh, well this is how it turned out. Lol! 

It didn't even crack looks like a marbling of some sort

After mixing up well I applied again on my left hand.  It turned out much better.  On one hand I like it then again I don't care for it very much.  For some odd reason certain colors my camera turn my hands really  dark.  I don't know what's wrong with it lately.  When I adjust the setting the polish is washed out.  I adjust it again my hands are dark.  Any tips you can give me is well appreciated. *-*

I have the whole set of the China Glaze Crackle Metals.  I favor the creme-y ones over the metals.

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

It's Pink Wednesday...Fashionista

Good Morning,

Today I'm wearing Pink!  It's Confetti Fashionista.  I swatch my polishes at night and sometimes I don't know how to describe a color so I checked The List of Colors thats shown on my left side bar.  Fashionista is a pink that's between a magenta and a french rose.  Let's just say it's a pink/coral. Formula wise it's great! The first coat appear to be jelly like. To get the saturated look I used three coats. I'm starting to become a three coater.

I'm liking these Confetti's they are still available at my CVS stores.

This angle shot my nails look long

Are you wearing pink today?  I wanna know...what are you wearing?

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

Naughty Kitty: Color Club Yum Gum and Smash Hit

Hello ladies,

I wanted to create a fun, boudoir style manicure. I had a little help from a naughty kitty. Neon pink and black crackled French tips provide a stylish backdrop for a bit of mischief and delight. 

From image plate D26, I stamped the retro cats using black Konad special polish. I created a funky French with the fractured polish, Smash Hit. Rainbow crystal bows adorn the center. The French line sparkles with Art Club silver glitter. Kitty used her tail to steal a pearl.   

Yum Gum is a bold and pretty neon. The scent of bubble gum is subtle and pleasant. I appreciated the ease in application. Three coats over a whitening base brought perfect opacity.

I have been having a great time experimenting with the Fractured Collection. Painting Smash Hit across my tips created a lacy effect, and complemented the naughty kitty.

You will be seeing more of the Color Club Fractured Collection this week. The kitty might have a little something in mind.

Color Club Yum Gum and Smash Hit were sent to me for review. These polishes can be purchased at victoriasnailsupply.com.

I purchased the D series image plates from chez-delaney.com.

Happy painting, ladies!

Fentiman's Rose Lemonade: BB Couture Aphrodite

Hello ladies,

Today I am bringing you a whimsical manicure inspired by my favorite beverage, Fentiman's Rose Lemonade. I am often seen walking through the garden with a parasol in one hand and a bottle of Rose Lemonade in another. I believe a proper manicure was in order.

I began with a base of BB Couture Aphrodite because it would not surprise me if the Goddess of Love is drinking Rose Lemonade at this very moment, while inspiring scenes of beauty and romance. I painted a stripe at the nail line with Art Club Gold Glitter. From Born Pretty Store, I chose rose and lemon fimo to create a funky French. I love how the placement of the rose blossoms and lemon wedges looks like little bows! With a variety of pink and yellow gems and pearls, I formed jeweled dots to reflect the natural carbonation in Fentiman's Rose Lemonade. 

Apologies the roses were not blooming with their usual grandeur and Pennsylvania does not offer the best climate for lemon trees. My bottle of Rose Lemonade certainly embodies both flavors on its own. 

My right hand.

Aphrodite is hot pink with a cooling, frosty finish. Pale pink shimmer is stirred throughout. I am showing three coats. Easy to apply, Aphrodite is certain to delight pink lovers. 

Have you sampled any varieties of Fentiman's sodas or ever enjoyed a rose flavored beverage? I admit to regularly bringing an extra bottle of Rose Lemonade to share when meeting a friend. Only my recycle bin will truly tell the tale of how many bottles I enjoy weekly. What is your favorite drink of the summer? 

Mention of Fentiman's Rose Lemonade was done purely out of love. Discover more about the full range of sodas at drinkfentimans.com and in the UK at fentimans.com.
