Hello faithful followers & new followers as well! I apologize for not posting as often as I had been but life has been crazy lately. I won't bore you with the details - we all know why we are here - nail stuff! :)
This polish was sent to me by Milani to review - it is Pink Out Loud 118.
Milani is a nice drugstore polish - one of the better lines available I might add. This is a nice soft pink with some beautiful glass-flecked gold shimmer. In real life, this color falls in line quite nicely with
Pantone's 2011 Color of the Year.
At first glance I thought this polish was going to be too sheer but to my surprise it wasn't! It did require more than 1 coat but with all the glass-flecked shimmer keeping your eyes busy you could probably get away with doing 2 coats. However for these pics I did 3. I also tried 1 coat over a black polish and it looks absolutely stunning! I will add pics of that soon!
Color: Great (not to mention stylish with it being the "now" color)
Finish: Great
Application: Normal
Wear: Below normal
Opacity: Surprisingly Normal
Smell: Normal
Price: Cheap
The bottom line? I definitely give this polish an A. It would be an A+ but I had tipwear within just hours of application (and yes I used a top coat). I have a few more Milani polishes to review so I will try a different base/top coat with them and if I find out it's the chemistry between the combos, I'll add a revision/edit letting you know. Stay tuned for the next review coming in a few days!
