hi-res

Shiny lavender holo. What's not to like? Hi-Res is from the Milani 3D Holographic collection and I think this may be my favourite one. I think it works well with my pale skin tone and is just so soft and feminine but the holo makes it interesting.

cyberspace case

Cyberspace is the first of the Milani 3D Holographic polishes that I've tried out and while it's not the most amazing holo I think it's pretty darn good, especially for the price tag. It wasn't the nicest of days unfortunately when I was taking pictures so I don't really have a direct sunlight full on rainbow flash type picture but you can see a little bit of the holo effect in the first swatch picture. I have a few more of these so I'm interested to see how they compare. Does anyone else have these? What do you think?

pearl and gems of wisdom

I've owned OPI's Pearl of Wisdom for some time now but never tried it because I didn't really think I'd be that fussed on it and SURPRISE, I wasn't... It's a sheer pearly polish with some micro glitter and it's just a bit boring. I haven't given up on it entirely though. I still plan on trying it out over a black and hopefully that will jazz things up nicely but since it was already on my nails, I wasn't pleased and didn't feel like taking it straight off I added a couple of coats of Milani's Gems (a supposed dupe for Deborah Lippmanns Happy Birthday) and I rather liked the results. Cheerful/glittery nails. Well done Milani you saved the day!
