I think this nail polish is okay. I like the colors. one swipe and you're done. the only thing i don't like is that the brush is too small. and it left me streaks.

Love love love these polishes, seriously. I have two of them, the first one has no name but it is a milky ivory color that goes on mostly clear. It's very nice when I want a natural look. The second one is called Ruby Jewels and is a ruby red with chunky red glitter that is the exact color of Dorothy's shoes in the Wizard of Oz.


The best thing about these polishes is the consistency. They are runnier than normal polishes, which sounds bad, but actually makes them VERY forgiving of mistakes. With other thicker polishes, I notice streak marks from the brush if I put a little too much on, especially if I have to go back and touch up missed areas; there is a definite noticeable seam between the old and the new. With this polish you can apply and reapply and it settles to blend right in. Two coats is enough to get the bottle color, so even though they're thinner they don't lack pigment. Plus, it dries pretty fast too, but not so quick that it gets tacky during application.


I really suck at applying nail polish, and this is pretty much the only brand that I use that makes it so it doesn't look like a 4 year old applied it.

I don't know what everyone else is talking about. But I bought the Milani Nail Polish in Gold Lame 2 days ago. It's a pretty, shimmery gold color. Honestly, I didn't like it that much and I was pretty disappointed. After using it 5 times, I noticed the brush got kind of clumpy and didn't apply well. I had to do 2-3 coats for the color to look decent, and the nail polish itself was kind of runny/sticky. But maybe it was just me, and I want to try one different color from Milani Nail Polishes, and see how that goes. Maybe it was just me, but I definitely am never buying Gold Lame for me.

It was a pretty color though, after numerous tries !!

This one of my favorite drug store polishes. It is a little runny but what do you expect for the price. I have no complaints. I also like the fact that removes very well.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I purchased Cherry Pit and although the color was pretty, the consistency was so runny! It made such as mess. I won't be repurchasing.

Milani nail polish is my favorite drugstore nail polish, hands down. I even like it better than China Glaze. The polishes are shinier, easy to apply, easy to remove, and have a lot of staying power! (It lasts just as long as China Glaze!) I've got "Cherry Pie" on my toenails right now... it's a gorgeous shiny red. I just love these!

I bought my first milani nail polish when the pretty packaging caught my eye while I was shopping at CVS. I wore it on spring break (which really is pretty abusive on nail polish) and it didn't chip at all (no base or top coat). Very durable polish, I wish I could remember the color I got but all I remember is that it was a very flattering pink. The color matched the bottle with two coats and it dried reasonably quickly.

So overall I'd say it's a durable polish, good deal, nice colors and I'd definitely buy again.
