Ha! Finally found the two of the Milani One-Coat (not really) Glitters I wanted: Blue Flash and Purple Gleam!

Maybe I need to start using topcoat when I swatch glitters. My glitter photos always look so gritty. :P Because the glitters are gritty.

Milani Purple Gleam

Despite how dull this manicure looks in my photos, really, this is an amazing polish. It's so sparkly! And I love the mix of purple and black glitter. Opaque in two coats.

Milani Blue Gem

I don't know how people have such good luck with the application of this one. I found it to be the hardest to apply, and after three coats, I still had bald spots. Maybe I need to apply thinner coats?

    Both of them are so pretty even with the bald spots in the blue one. I might have to order couple of Milani glitters, too.

    I think it's good to see the pics w/o topcoat; I've seen a million pics of them WITH topcoat, so this is some new information you are providing ;)

    I think the photos look great because we can clearly see how the polishes perform on their own. Maybe you could add a pic with topcoat, but definitely keep doing them without!

    I really want these. That purple is really stunning. The blue is wonderful also. Love the combination of purple with the black glitter.

    Since it's a pain in the ass removing these polishes, I usually apply a colored base so no bald spots, opacity and less time for remove ;)

    I thought these applied like nothing else I have! It was like painting with liquidized glitter... like some craft paint or something :) How did it go taking it off! Any suggestions?
