Milani - New Collection 2013 High Speed Fast Dry


Good morning - it's FRIDAY! This morning I'm working on a St. Patrick's Day Collection that I'll be showing you this evening but I wanted to show you quick swatches of the latest Milani High Speed Fast Dry Collection this morning so you'll have something to look at while I'm swatching.

I was hoping these would be the same colors as the Milani Texture Collection I showed you last night - but without the sand. But it's not. There are 6 new colors, though.



Milani: Pink Express, Flaming Race, Rapid Orchid, Instant Pearl, Quick Teal and Move On Mauve

These swatches are all with two coats and NO top coat. Great formula and coverage and super shiny. All cremes except for Instant Pearl. No issues at all to report except that you can see that Instant Pearl is streaky. The application was great but streaks no matter what. Eighties anyone? The only other issue I have with these is the name of Rapid Orchid. I used the harshest, brightest light source I could find and that's as light as it gets, folks. With one coat you can tell it's somewhat aubergine but it takes two coats and by then it's just basically black. At least on me.

And a quick comparison with Dior Nirvana because I've already been asked about it...same family for sure, just a few shades lighter.

What do you think of their latest offering? The pink is actually very saturated and not being a pink person I was pleased with this one. The teal is also quite nice.

Milani polishes are available at retailers and e-tailers throughout the US and usually retail for around $4.49. I believe these were $3.99 each.
