Milani Fuchsia Fierce
Hey guys! Today’s post is on one of the few cremes I’ve ever liked from Milani. It’s part of the new shades they have released for 2012. Here’s Milani Fuchsia Fierce.

Milani Fuchsia Fierce
Fuchsia Fierce is one bright pop of color. It’s a reddish fuchsia creme shade that suits summer perfectly. I love it. Formula is good and it dries pretty fast for a creme. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Pink Slippers
Still recovering from my surgery, so I’m gonna keep this shorter than usual. Here’s Milani Pink Slippers.

Milani Pink Slippers
Pink Slippers is a dainty peachy pink shimmer with a pink flash that’s more visible in person than in these shots. Formula is comparable to most of Milani’s other shades. This dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Milani Chocolate Sprinkles
Hey guys! If this post actually appears when I have scheduled it to, it means that I’m in surgery right this moment. But no fear! I have scheduled a post for y’all to enjoy. Here’s a new shade for 2012 from Milani. I present you Milani Chocolate Sprinkles.

Milani Chocolate Sprinkles
Chocolate Sprinkles has to be the biggest surprise I got from Milani from all that they have released so far this year. I saw that it was a pretty shade, but the up close shot shows you what I mean. It’s a pretty brown shimmer that’s even more amazing in person – trust me! The shimmer is glass fleck-ish in nature and a burst of different shades of copper or gold. It applied nicely and dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Elevation Polish Tirich Mir
Awesome flakie? Look no further with Elevation Polish Tirich Mir.

Elevation Polish Tirich Mir
Elevation Polish is a brand that’s new to me. I like the cool naming concept behind the shades offered. They’re all named behind mountains the creator has climbed in her lifetime I believe. I find that pretty cool!
A list to the shades she has made available for public can be found here. Her store details can be found here. I absolutely adore flakies, so y’all know how I feel about this one. This is shown over Milani Black Swift. It dried pretty fast and I like the shape and colors the flakies exhibit.

I have my eyes on a few other of her shades already, but I’ll have to wait until my minor car accident and minor surgery is taken care of first. My picks? The Arches At Sunset (hot color shift going on there!), Froze To Death (wild glitter that I canNOT resist), Ubsunur (what a blue and blue holds a special place in my heart right now), and Owen (a shiny blue). I like Maroon Bells as well (surprisingly!), Alphubel (someone take my temperature….this is a baby blue shade – very unusual for me to like a lot), Everest (holographic glitter – ’nuff said), and Denali (blurple!).
Love it? I know I do!
Milani Black Swift
If you’re looking for a black creme polish that’s easily accessible – look no further! I found the perfect shade that embodies that in Milani Black Swift.

Milani Black Swift
I can attest to the one coat claim of this shade. I was running out of the black creme shade I usually use and was afraid I wouldn’t find a suitable substitute for it, but I was wrong! This applied beautifully and dried pretty fast for a creme. Shown is one coat with no top coat.

Milani Mint Candy
Hey guys! Hope ya’ll are having a great Saturday! OU is having their graduation ceremony today. Congrats to the 2012 graduates! I picked a light new shade for 2012 from Milani to feature on today’s post. Here’s Milani Mint Candy.

Milani Mint Candy
Mint Candy reminds me a lot of Dressmaker from 2 years back. I have it, but haven’t had the chance to compare it side by side. It’s a very pretty green shimmer, but I think Dressmaker is lighter. I LOVE the shimmer. It’s stunning in person. Formula is decent and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Pink & Proper
Middle of the week guys! I’m excited! It’s been a very busy past few weeks for me, both at work and in my personal life. Here’s another new shade from Milani’s 2012 offering. I present you Milani Pink & Proper.

Milani Pink & Proper
Pink & Proper is a pretty rosy pink shimmer shade. It feels like a little bit of a dusty pink for me, but it’s pretty still. Formula is good and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Milani Key West
One of the new shades from Milani that I am most excited about is what today’s post is about. This shade is part of their new 2012 shades recently released. Here’s Milani Key West.

Milani Key West
Key West is a very pretty green shimmer. The finish is almost glass fleck-ish really. It’s stunning both in and out of direct sunlight. Formula was perfect for this shade. It glided onto my nails smoothly and dried really fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

More Milani Crystal Gloss
Hey guys! I broke all my nails recently, so there won’t be much swatches for at least another week. But this gives me time to focus on other non-nail polish items I have to share with y’all! I actually featured these in an older post, but there are 3 more shades just released. I’ll copy and paste the text of my previous review since it remains unchanged. Here’s Milani Crystal Gloss.

More Milani Crystal Gloss
These are described as:
- A range of fantastic mega-shine colors
- Leaves lips feeling soft and supple
- Sponge-tip wand applicator
- Made in USA
These are very easy to carry and use. It is small enough to slip into even a small clutch or wristlet. The applicator is the spongy tip one that most lip glosses come with, but it is not doe foot shaped. It spreads the lip gloss nicely over my lips. The formula is slightly sticky – perfect consistency to stay on the lips. There are a lot more choices than shown above, so be sure to check them all out and pick the shade you want. It sells at an okay price point. It has a light vanilla scent. These don’t last very long, only a few hours, but that’s expected for me with a lip gloss. Swatches shown below are for the following shades from left to right: Cotton Candy, Fascination and Precious. For each shade, I dabbed the lip gloss on a bit to show what it looks like clearly.

These retail for $5.49 each and should now be available at select CVS stores.

Milani Fast Fuchsia
Hey guys! Sorry I have missed a few days in posting. There was crazy tornado weather going at this part of the country and I didn’t feel like posting much during these times. But today I have a new shade from Milani from their High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula line. Here’s Milani Fast Fuchsia.

Milani Fast Fuchsia
While it is almost opaque in one coat, I needed more than that for complete coverage. Fast Fuchsia is a pretty bright fuchsia pink creme. Formula is really nice and self-leveling. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani White On The Spot
Hey guys! Today’s post is on a shade that I don’t own many of. Here’s Milani White On The Spot.

Milani White On The Spot
White On The Spot is a white creme shade. To get full opacity, one coat was simply not enough. However, a good white shade is hard to find and this definitely takes the cake on all the white shades I’ve tried from various brands. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Rapid Cherry
I haven’t been around much these days cause I’m still going through some stuff, but I’m still here once in a while! I hope you guys stick around for stuff I have to post here. Today’s post is a beautiful red. Here is Milani Rapid Cherry, one of their new shades for 2012.

Milani Rapid Cherry
Rapid Cherry is a bright, bold red creme shade that is both fun and classy. Formula for this is decent and it actually is a one coater. Other shades in this line didn’t quite make the one coat formula claim, so I was quite pleased with this one. Shown is one coat with no top coat.

Milani Yellow Whiz
Hey guys! Continuing with my chipper mood, here’s another cheery shade for y’all. Here’s Milani Yellow Whiz.

Milani Yellow Whiz
The name makes me cringe a little, but the shade is actually pretty nice. Yellow Whiz is a bright yellow creme shade. It’s not quite a one coater for me like the line boasts, but I wouldn’t consider it sheer at all. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Violet Dash
It’s Friday and boy….I’ve never been happier that it is. I just got back from seeing baby chicks at Atwoods that are simply so adorable!
I figured I’ll make a post today anyway even though it’s late into the day. Here’s Milani Violet Dash.

Milani Violet Dash
Isn’t it pretty? Violet Dash is a purple creme shade that’s very femenine and would suit Easter pretty well. It’s not too pastel at all for my taste and is a little bit dusty. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Jiffy Orange
Today I have a bright number from Milani. While this color isn’t one of my favorites, it’s slowly growing on me. Here’s Milani Jiffy Orange.

Milani Jiffy Orange
Jiffy Orange is a bright orange creme. This one applied beautifully onto my nails. I think it’s quite suitable for summer! While I didn’t get the opacity I wanted with one coat, another one did the trick. The finish is so shiny too. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Juno
Happy Wednesday y’all! Today’s post features another new shade from Milani’s 2012 offering. Here’s Milani Juno.

Milani Juno
Milani Juno is a pretty pale pink shade with hidden shimmer. The shimmer is a bit hard to see, but trust me…it’s there! And that’s what makes it so appealing to me. This one’s a keeper! Formula was decent. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Teddy Brown
Hey guys! Hope y’all had a great weekend. I’m almost done with all the new Milani polish shades in their regular line for 2012. The shade I liked the least so far is this light brown creme. Here’s Milani Teddy Brown.

Milani Teddy Brown
Teddy Brown reminded a friend of mine of another shade from Milani called Teddy Bare. I don’t have that one, so I can’t tell how close they really are. Teddy Brown is a light chocolate milk brown creme. It applied onto my nails easily. While I don’t like the darker brown streaks shown by looking at the bottle, it doesn’t affect the end result when applied on the nails. I did shake the bottle to make sure the pigments are fully mixed, but I guess it wasn’t enough. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Deep Thoughts
Deep Thoughts is dark purple shimmer. You can see specks of pink in the shimmer when under sunlight. Formula was good and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Milani Beach Front
Hey guys! I have another new Milani shade for 2012 to show y’all. It has that pretty shimmer that’s in several other shades released at the same time. Here’s Milani Beach Front.

Milani Beach Front
Beach Front is a pretty pale blue shade with silver glass fleck shimmer. I absolutely love the glass fleck shimmers they’ve made for this year! Formula was nice and this is a one coater! Yep! They did it again! Shown is one coat with no top coat.

Really short n’ sweet for this one. Just finished a 5K today and though I didn’t even break a sweat cause I walked pretty much most of it, I feel sleepy now.
Here’s Milani Dark Coffee.

Dark Coffee is a beautiful dark brown creme. It applied beautifully on my nails and has a pretty shiny finish. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Milani Orchidia
Hey guys! It’s Friday today and I couldn’t be any happier! I woke up from a psycho work dream so….I wasn’t really looking forward to coming in to work today. LOL! I know it’s just a dream, but have you ever had one that feels just SO real? Yep, this was one of them! But anyways, today’s post features another new shade from Milani. Here’s Milani Orchidia.

Milani Orchidia
Orchidia is a pretty violet with the same silvery glass fleck shimmer seen in some of their other shades released at the same time like Sail Away. Boy, it’s shades like this that makes me think twice what kind of finish it really is. But it reminds me a lot of the silvery glass fleck shimmer seen in some China Glaze glass fleck shades like Grape Juice of the Summer Days Collection in 2009. It’s very, very pretty. I think it’d be nice for Easter! Formula was good and it applied onto my nails smoothly. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.
