NOTM: Beach Front - Milani

 

 

I FINALLY got around to painting my nails! It's only been over a month, but they're nicely painted and have been for 2 days with no chipping or anything. The color is absolutely stunning and I really love how it turned out. I had picked up Milani's Nail Lacquer in Beach Front a while ago and have been wanting to use it in a manicure - so I did just that! I also used my Milani Base and Top coat which I bought back on Cyber Monday and had yet to use (yeah, hoarder what can I say...). The three products work marvelously together and I can say I REALLY love their base and top coat.

Beach Front is a bright baby/sky blue shade with metallic silvery/white shimmers in it. It's definitely hard to photograph (keeping in mind I painted my nails after midnight so some of the photos were taken with artificial light & one outside in the direct sunlight) the shimmers but they are noticeable in the bottle and both on the nail after application. It's definitely an eye catching shade, but not too over the top. I love it and find myself looking at my nails during the day.

PRODUCTS USED:
1 coat of Milani Smoothe Base Coat
2 coats of Milani Nail Lacquer - Beach Front
1 coat of Milani Glosse Top Coat

Under $5 CVS Nail Polish Haul!

On Easter Sunday (yes this is an old haul!) I went to the pharmacy with my niece. My sister-in-law had my nephew so I took on the job of watching my niece in the morning – and when she showed up to my house she wanted Play-Doh. Play-Doh? I don’t have Play-Doh, the Play-Doh she had was at her house with her little ice cream creation station was at her house. After talking her into going to the store with me (that’s hard to do with a nearly 3-year old) she decided to go because I promised her Play-Doh. Why I promise children Play-Doh on Easter Sunday is beyond me because it never occurred to me what if CVS doesn’t HAVE any? Anyway, low-and-behold after getting to the store and nearly having a heart attack at the pharmacy because I couldn’t spot Play-Doh I FINALLY found the ONLY pastel Play-Doh in the entire store. Score! A happy niece, meant a happy auntie, so auntie picked up a few bottles of soda and headed on over to the beauty section. My time in the beauty section was cut short because my niece was climbing out of the little car-cart telling me she needed to pick out something for herself. Before she could grab nail polish, and possibly drop them and have them smash (as they do with her aunt in stores LOL) we quickly ran to the checkout. I had a $5 off your next $15 purchase and a 25% off your entire purchase (minus sale items) so I paid a little under $5 for the four nail polishes shown – which typically retail for $1.99 each (NYC) and $5.49 for the Milani shade.

Here’s what I picked up:
NYC In A New York Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish (City Sweets Collection):
- Mint Macaroon
- City Sweets Pink
- Lavender Cupcake

- Milani Nail Lacquer - Beach Front

QUESTION:

Have you purchased any of the above polishes?
