Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer Swatches, Review + Nail Art

Press Sample

Milani has recently revamped their nail polishes and I must say, the formula is phenomenal. I’m in love with the shade selection (37 in total!) and none were difficult to work with. About half required two coats for full opacity, but for the most part I could get away with one. The nail polish finishes range from sheers, to metallics, to glitters, frosts, shimmer, cream… something for everyone! 37 Color Statement Nail Lacquer shades (36 + 1 top coat) are out there and I have ALL of them to share with you today!

Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer Swatches Review

For some reason, rather than put them in order numerically I decided to group them how I saw fit by shades in sets of six. I’m weird like that 😉 All are one coat unless marked otherwise.

With all of these nail polishes at my disposal I thought it a great time to try out the sponge gradient nail art mani I see everywhere. For my first attempt I went for the blues, and ended up wanting to take a vacation to the ocean. For this one I used Mint Crush as a base and then also used it on the sponge with Tattle Teal, Blue Print and Ink Spot.

For my next attempt I went for pinks and used Spotlight White for a base and Bombshell, Corrupted Coral and Imperial Purple for the sponging. You can smack a heart in the middle of that and call it Valentine’s Day. Look at me, working ahead 😉

    Wow these look crazy good. I’m all about those pinks and purples though. Milani has really been slugging it out of the drugstore ballpark lately.
