Untrieds! Milani One Coat Glitter: Silver Dazzle

Good Morning Ladies! Happy Saturday! I'm working on updating the challenge list to include some new people! Yay!

I am raring to go on the 31 Day Challenge, but until Monday, it's still random polish spam here! Today I am sharing Milani One Coat Glitter in Silver Dazzle.  I know, I'm sure you guys have seen this thousands of times before, but I've been dying to wear this baby since I bought it (around a year ago!), and honestly I don't really know why I haven't actually done so until now. The other night it just jumped out and demanded to be worn.

One Coat Glitter may be a slight stretch, and even though I am showing 2 coats here, one coat did look pretty decent. However, 2 coats is absolute perfection. This baby went on incredibly smooth for such a dense glitter, and stayed where I put it. Love it! This color is my fave out of this collection. She's such a gorgeous mix of Charcoal and Silver. And in low light ( I even have a pic!), she's a glowy Silvery/Blue/Grey. Stunning! But enough talk, let's get to the pics!

Details:
1 coat OPI Nail Envy Matte
2 coats Silver Dazzle
1 coat Gelous
1 coat Seche Vite

And in Natural (low) Light (Swoon!)

I am so very glad that I finally wore this polish! Rawr!! Check out the color in natural lighting. Isn't that just gorgeous??

Formula: This was one amazing glitter. Although the one coat claim isn't exact if you're looking for full coverage, it's close. Even though the glitter is VERY dense, it's not thick and goopy at all. Overall excellent formula for this kind of glitter.

Application: This baby plays well with others! I had no problems with application; she glides on the nail smoothly. No dragging or balding, no clumping either. Cleanup was barely needed since it stays where you put it. An utter dream to apply! It is, however, a VERY THIRSTY glitter, so if you like your glitters smooth (I can go either way, I really dig how this looks without top coat - very sparkly but very textured and matte), I suggest a coat of Gelous before your top coat. Otherwise you'll have a very textured surface.

You can bet I'll be wearing this one again. I have every color in this line, and they're all going to come out to play soon! Can anyone tell me why I waited so long to wear these?

Still stuck on pink! Milani One Coat Glitter in Pink Flare

Hi Guys! Hope your week was awesome and you're gearing up for a fabulous weekend!

I apologize for the lack of posts this week. We had an emergency with my daughter and I wasn't able to change my mani until this morning.

Today I have one of Milani's new One Coat Glitters to share with you. Since I am still showing my pink polishes some lovin', I just had to pick up Pink Flare. Pink Flare is a sheer pink jelly with a ton of small round Holo glitter and silver microglitter. I really wish that I could capture the depth and amazing holo in this glitter, but I'm not that good with a camera. Instead, I'll just spam you guys with a ton of pics! Some pics are intentionally blurry to show sparkle.

This is 2 coats of Pink Flare over NYC Wall Street, all over Instant Artificials base coat.

First, in the lightbox:

And since this polish is chock full of holo glitter goodness, here's some shots in sunlight!

Despite this shade of pink not being all that compatible with my skin tone, I LOVE this polish! It is a bit sheer, hence the "underwear", and although it could be worn with one coat, it really needs 2 for full opacity.  I only have 2 of the newer One Coat Glitters, but both of them need at least 2 coats, which was a bit of a let down since the older OCGs are much closer to being a true one coat polish.  It's also a very thirsty glitter! I used a coat of gelous as well as a generous coat of Seche Vite with this, and it's still a bit gritty. I don't mind a bit of texture when I wear glitters, but if you like yours to be smooth as glass I would be very generous with the Gelous, or use some Glitter Tamer.  Having said that, the holo in this is amazing! My husband is sitting next to me and was apparently being blinded by the flashes from my nails! In person, this polish just shines. It's almost blinding! I wish they made this mix of holo glitter in different colors, but the pink seems to be the only holo glitter in the lineup.

Milani One Coat Glitter Nail Lacquer retails for around $4.99 and can be found at most CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and many other Drug Stores.
