This is two coats of the super sexy Milani Blue flash. Easy to apply as long as you wait a few minutes between coats. It dries a bit gritty & with a matte finish so it needed a couple of coats of topcoat but it's well worth it in my opinion. Gorgeous deep teal & sparse black micro glitter!

The next day I add a bit of
China Glaze Ruby Pumps. I love this manicure, super hero glitter nails!
Thanks for reading!

Hi guys!
I have a makeup related posts for you today. I got these false lashes from
Bloom.com to review a while back, and I am finally getting around to it! I am not a very experienced false lash user, so I was a little nervous to use them, but I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use!
So these are pretty upscale lashes...they come with adhesive in a black compact with a mirror. I think this really helps with keeping the lash strips in good condition in between uses.
As for application, I was amazed at how easy it was! I had used fake lashes once before and had a pretty hard time with them, but it only took one try to get them on. I liked the adhesive a lot, I was a little apprehensive since it was white and not tinted, but it dried clear and there were no traces of it once it dried. I put on ELF Studio Creme Eyeliner in Black before I applied the lashes and everything blended seamlessly.
Here's a couple pics of my overall look. The lashes stayed on all day and after a little adjustment, I hardly remembered they were there. I think the lashes aren't too over the top for more casual wear, but are perfect for a more dressy event as well. If you are wondering, my lipsgloss is Milani Hot Flash (I am a big fan of this line!).
Overall, I am very impressed with these lashes and would definitely recommend these!
What are yall's thoughts on falsies?

Hey everybody!
Today was nothing but a typical Monday that I'm glad is winding down!
This polish is from Milani and it's called Photo Flash. This polish comes from a small collection that has matching glossy lip pencils for each shade. Cute idea! Below is 2 coats. It's got a really pretty metallic shimmer/sparkle to it.
I call flowers "typical nail art" and rarely use them on my nails. But I think it's an easy design to fall back on when there is no more inspiration to be had (which has been me lately). So that's what I did! I got bored with this pretty fast, but it is a pretty manicure. There are just too many other fun possibilities out there to do flowers (in my opinion), but for me they are fun every once in a while. :P
Do you guys have a nail art design or a polish that is your go-to when nothing else is doing it for ya?

Hey everyone! Just a quick mani for today. I love these Milani 3D polishes. Like most holos, these dry very fast and are very easy to apply. You can see another look I did using these polishes *

I won my first Milani polishes from Maria of
Nails Made Simple. Be sure and check out her great blog if you haven't already done so.
This is 2 coats of Milani HD. I love holos this has a nice formula but most golds don't look so great on me. I think I'll be passing this one on to a new home.
Thanks for reading!

This is 2 coats of Milani HD. I love holos! Nice formula and all around gorgeous polish.
The next day I used 2 strips of tape to form a triangle and then filled it in with one coat of
Zoya Faye, one of my favorite polishes. I love the effect! Faye is just sheer enough that the holo effect still shows through.

Hello readers!
I am on day 3 of this mani! I think that's a record, seriously! I used Out the Door fast dry topcoat and it still looks perfect. :)
So the base for this is Nicole by OPI Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam from the Kardashian collection. This pic is from my
swatch post of this collection. I am so obessed with this color! It's a one coater. And the creme shade is so unique. The fact that I have had this on for almost 3 days without getting sick of it is definitely saying something!!
My mani inspiration comes from a fellow blogger that I follow. I tried so hard to remember which one and I just couldn't. So if you happen to know who this idea came from, I would love to give them credit!
Middle finger: Claire's Gold Glitter topcoat as the base and striping tape used to make the design.
Ring: Milani Jewel FX in Gold
Thumb: ELF Golden Goddess
I will probably take this off today, but even if I had to wear it for a week I wouldn't be complaining. ;)

This is 2 coats of Milani Hi-Tech. I love holo polishes and this is no exception. Nice formula and all around gorgeous polish.
The next day, I decided to add some simple stripes in
China Glaze Cherish. Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out the best. I really love this manicure! Freehand stripes were very easy with Cherish since it's so pigmented.

A quick post today. Today I have Milani's Racy Green to share with you guys. When I saw the display for this I couldn't get my eyes off Racy Green so I decided to just buy it. The display showed it with black crackle over it.
Racy Green is a emerald green shimmer with aqua mixture to it. This was done in 3 coats. It's still a bit sheer and you can see visible nail lines.
Here is black shatter over Racy Green. I love this look more than Racy Green alone.
The formula for this is pretty good. The only problem was this really stained my nails after I removed them. I didn't like the color alone but I did like it with black shatter over it.
That's all I have for today, what do you guys think of Racy Green?

Another comparison swatch today to show you how freaking great the Milani 3D Holographic polishes are. I tried to stick to comparing similar finishes here, that is larger particle scattered holos. If I had China Glaze Octa-Gone Wild from the Kaleidoscope collection, that would have been the fourth perfect inclusion in this comparisons, but sadly I don't, so I put OPI DS Original.
It's also interesting to see how Ozotic 606 and 608 compare in the same swatch. Although this may be a different version of 608 than others have?!?
I love the richness of the purple colour in the Milani Holo, the colour is so similar to DS Original, even though the finish on those two are totally different.
We have another long weekend here in Canberra this weekend. Whoo Hoo, two in a row! But of course it's set to piss with rain all weekend! So no nail swatching for me :(
