New Milani High Speed Fast Dry Shades for 2013 Swatches/Review

Good morning! I have a bunch of Milani stuff in line to review for you guys (sent to me by their PR) and today I have six new nail polish shades from their High Speed Fast Dry line.

Instant Pearl is the first shade and it is a white polish with a (you guessed it!) pearl finish. This is two coats and it actually wasn't as brushstroke-y as I expected it to be. 

Pink Express is a lovely, sweet pastel pink shade. Perfect coverage in two coats.

Move On Mauve is a shimmery slightly-jelly shade of medium pink. This was three coats.

Rapid Orchid is supposed to be a deep purple, but I think it's really difficult to see anything other than black in this one. I did two coats here.

Quick Teal was a hard one to photograph. I think I got pretty close with the shade, but it's much more vibrant than this in person. This is two coats.

Last but not least is Flaming Race, a super bright red than leans ever so slightly coral. This is two coats.

I'm a big fan of the High Speed Fast Dry line and these shades are a good addition to the line. The formulas were pretty good overall. They tend to be a bit thick but I find that they are easy to work with and I love how quickly they dry! These shades retail for $4.99 and can be purchased from Milani's website or drugstores like CVS.

Sephora by OPI Cinderella 'A Brush With Fate' Mini Set Swatches/Review

Good morning everyone! As a follow up to last night's nail art, I have swatches of the Cinderella mini nail polish set from Sephora by OPI. This set was released last October with the rest of the Cinderella products and is a fabulous collection piece!

So Totally Enchanted is a beautiful, shimmery opalescent polish. The formula on this one was a little temperamental, but a steady hand and three coats produced a gorgeous mani.

Step Off, Sister! is a glitter top coat consisting of purple and blue micro glitter. This is two coats over So Totally Enchanted.

I Blue My Curfew is a stunning royal blue shimmer. I used three coats to get the deepest color possible.

Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! is a glitter top coat with two different sizes and shades of pink glitter. This is two coats over I Blue My Curfew.

Self-Maid Millionaire is a gold foil that needed three coats for opacity. I love foil finishes so much!

Rags to Rhinestones is a gold glitter top coat. I layered two coats over Self-Maid Millionaire and I am loving this combination! It's so glittery that it seems to glow!

As I said earlier, these polishes were released in October of last year (2012) and are pretty hard to get a hold of now. I've seen a few sets on eBay, but I'm pretty sure they are completely sold out online and in stores. I'm lucky enough to have an amazing momma who bought these for me for Xmas! Did you pick up any of the Cinderella products last year?

OPI The Color of Minnie & Nothin' Mousie 'bout It

Let me preface this post by telling you all (if you didn't know already) that I am a HUGE Disney freak, so I was really excited when I found out that OPI was doing a Minnie Mouse collection! The Vintage Minnie Mouse collection consists of four shades total, three colors and a heart glitter topcoat and will be available for purchase in June. When the press photos first came out, I violently hoped that the glitter was Mickey-head-shaped, but alas, it is just hearts. It fits nicely with the collection, but Mickey-shaped glitter would have really sent it over the top, in a good way of course. I'll keep dreaming! :P

I don't have the light pink of the collection to show you since I didn't think it would agree with my skin tone, so I'll be splitting up the other two shades into two separate posts. Today I'll be showing you The Color of Minnie, which is a gorgeous pearly red. The formula was great and it was opaque in two easy coats.

And here we have The Color of Minnie with two coats of Nothin' Mousie 'bout It. Nothin' Mousie 'bout It consists of heart glitter and small, almost glass-fleck-like shimmer particles. I had a hard time getting the heart glitter out of the bottle and onto my nail, but I found that turning the bottle upside down for a little while before I used it made it easier to fish the hearts out. The shimmer is really spectacular though; it adds so much sparkle and dimension to the base color!
