Milani Ms. Milani

Hello! This is a scheduled post since I am going to be on planes all day. I hope you guys are having a good day! 

Today's polish is from Milani and it's called Ms. Milani. I'm not entirely sure why this polish was special enough to bear the name of the company...if you know, enlighten me please! :)

So here's Ms. Milani. It's a pewter, metallic shade. What's weird is that it applies like a holo (there is dragging and bald spots if you don't let it dry between coats). This shade is toned down, but still elegant and unique.

I let my husband's creativity run free for this mani and he didn't let me down! I recently showed him this tutorial for creating a faded look for stamping. A simple concept, but looks really cool! 

This is Konad Black and White special polish and Bundle Monster plate #211.

Hope you like it! Thank you for reading! <3

*This polish was sent to me for review in exchange for my honest opinions.

A Quick Mani

While we were in New York (for four days) I got a hankering to switch my polish. The issue was that while we were running around doing lots of stuff I didn't have much time to spend redoing my nails. I decided to go WAY back and revisit the first nail art design I ever taught myself. It only took about 15 minutes to paint (because I've done it so many times) and it gave me a fresh, exciting look. I also got to try out the new polish that Ron's mom, Susie, gave me: China Glaze's In Awe of Amber. This (horrible) picture doesn't represent the color well, but it's beautiful! I have very little knowledge of polish, I am strictly interested in nail art, so I usually just buy whatever polish costs the least (I own a lot of Wet N' Wild) which made getting a China Glaze polish a special treat.

Foil & French

This is such a fantastic purple foil. It's so incredibly eye catching, I love it.

Then I added french tips with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.

This is S-he 436. 2 easy coats.

 It dries very smooth, not gritty at all.

OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts

French Quarter For Your Thoughts is from OPI's Touring America collection, it is the bluer toned grey from the collection.

OPI, why a long name? And why do some of the colours in the collection look like this? Like they aren't mixed fully... I've noticed this with Uh-Oh and Roadhouse too.

So with French Quarter being the cooler toned grey, it will look best on people that have more red or pink undertones.


Mum bought it for just this reason. She has been on the search for a mid-grey for such a long time but they always clashed with her skintone. Now she has a new fave! She's even considering a back-up.

The formula is really nice with this polish. Good coverage, only needed two coats.

Overall, I'm really happy with this shade. Very wearable for all year round.
