Megan Miller Lemon Ice - Swatches and Review

Photo from The Winthrop Chronicles
Great summer recipe!

Today I have another Megan Miller polish to show you...Lemon Ice!  The bottle design is unique and pretty darned cute. But it's more than that. It holds a full .5 ounces of polish, has a great cork cap, which naturally provides a non-slip grip and has a little hand-tied raffia bow. The brush is round and cut well and the stem is short enough that it doesn't collect too much polish. It holds the perfect amount of polish for each nail.

Megan Miller's logo is a peacock feather, as shown on the bottle and the top of the cap. Here's their story behind their logo:

Inspired by the display the peacock portrays when its feathers are in full bloom, the Megan Miller collection aims to inspire you to show your grandest side with confidence and ease. Like the peacock, we look to blend a natural elegance in order to make you look good, feel complete and ‘Be Colorful’. 

Yes, that's Megan Miller Roja you see here!

Lemon Ice is a sheer, jelly-like, pale lemon yellow. Formula was typical of a sheer jelly but went on easily with no issues. I am a fan of 100% opacity, which you will not get with Lemon Ice on its own, so I'm showing you how the color builds on its own, using 3 coats here AND on one nail I've applied two coats over one coat of an opaque white creme.

Megan Miller Velvet Lounge - Ultimate WEAR Test, Swatches & Review

After I reviewed Megan Miller Roja, I knew I must have more.

In case you've forgotten how gorgeous that one was...

So I picked up Velvet Lounge.

Before I show you these, though, I am going to remind you that I didn't think to take photos BEFORE I went out and built my first shelving unit to store my polishes. I even took a photo of my mani before I cleaned the black paint off of my hands as proof!

So...these photos are a bit messier than normal and taken after I added a top coat and AFTER my little construction project.

As you can see (in some of the photos) this is a wonderful deep, vampy purple creme. Unfortunately I am so pale it reads nearly black on me except in certain lighting. But I love it. It applied easily and was opaque in two smooth coats. And as far as wear, can you even believe it went through all of that abuse and came out on the other end looking this good?

Another HIT for Megan Miller!

What do you think? Have you tried Megan Miller yet?

Megan Miller Collection - Roja Swatches and Review

The Megan Miller Collections is a relatively new line of boutique nail polishes that are environmentally-friendly, 3-Free (free of DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde) and Cruelty-Free. They offer a wide range of colors which can be seen here.

Today I am showing you Megan Miller Roja. It seems appropriate since I've been called Roja off and on since moving to Texas. Roja is Spanish for red, which just so happens to be the color of my hair. Thankfully, my hair is not THIS particular shade of red.

The formula of Roja is smooth, flows well and application was easy. Roja is a medium, cool red creme and dries to a shiny finish. I used two coats and on most people that will provide full opacity. I have pretty thick nails and would take 3 coats to achieve full opacity. I had no issues.

All photos are shown with two coats of color and I used Cult Nails base and top coat.

I wore it on my errands today and got compliments from the USPS Clerk and the Chanel Sales Associate!

For more information, you can visit Megan Miller's site. The polishes will be available online and at Anthropologie. You can follow them on their Facebook page for availability, updates, new collections, etc. Retail is $12.00 for .5 ounces.

Based on this bottle of Roja, I WILL be trying more colors. What do you think? Have you tried them?
