Milani Awesome Orange & Techno Red

I have two more Milani neons to show you today. First up, my favorite of the two, Awesome Orange. I just love that name. What if someone asks you whats on your nails? "Awesome Orange!", you can reply.

This looks blazing hot with the flash! Almost red.

Here it is without flash, in normal indoor lighting in my house. A little more toned down...but how it looks most of the time on me.

Techno Red looks like squishy red jelly!

If you don't mind visible nail line, then you wont have a problem with these. I used 4 thin coats of each polish and I can still see VNL. They dried quickly and matte, just like neons. Both of these are super cute pops of color so Milani Neons get a thumbs up for me!

Milani Garnet Gems

I love this polish in the bottle, I do. Gorgeous blackened jelly base with red glitter? You cant go wrong. However in real life these always seem to look brown on me. Just like brown sparkly polish. Am I the only one this happens to? 

I believe this is three coats, topped with Seche Vite. And no, this polish is not hard to remove at all. Just in case you were wondering.

Milani Holographic Polishes: 3D & HD

I was sent over some polishes from Milani and I was pleasantly surprised to find among them 3D and HD from their Spring 2010 Holographic Polish collection. True to their word, these are truly holographic, *ahem OPI MPJ*, and they come alive in the sun or under the flash. I even think that 3D agrees with my skintone, so this will be the first gold polish that does so. Seriously, for that reason alone I love it.

First up, HD.

Gorgeous silver holo that I used 3 coats of. This is a bit sheer, but definitely buildable. Looks a little white indoors in my opinion.

3D, the gold holo, is a stunner I only used two coats of this because I found it to be more opaque. Easily my favorite.

These were not gritty or rough to the touch, so no extra layers of topcoat needed. They were also easy to remove, no hassle like with glitters. In my book that's always a win! I believe these are still available at drugstores like CVS because I see it online at cvs.com.

Polka Dot Mani using Milani Pink Hottie

So I took my Milani Pink Hottie manicure off, but I used the same color to make a new manicure. Polka dots are an easy favorite of mines. Can you see where I got the inspiration from?

I'd like to thank my lovely polka dot wallet from Target for inspiring this manicure. :-)

Milani Pink Hottie + Slice of Watermelon

Remember Milani's Spring 2010 neon polishes? Pink Hottie, a medium Barbie pink, was released in that collection. No lie, my mom seriously looked and my nails and goes, "Wow, I just had a flashback! That looks like the color of my Barbie's pink high heels." Um, sure. I think Barbie would go with a polish named Pink Hottie. I used 3 coats of this and of course it dried matte, being it is a neon, so I topped with Seche Vite. This being my first Milani polish, I must say I'm impressed they were able to make a neon that is not difficult to work with, formula wise.

Anyway, I decided to make a little "watermelon slice" on my ring finger to spice this pink manicure up. Totally summer smack in the middle of December. I'm not mad at it!

Can I tell you I am sooooo loving China Glaze's Peppermint Cuticle Oil? The smell is just right, and is a nice treat for my nails. I can see myself using this year around!
