Milani Limited Edition Nail Lacquers, Part Two

So I went back to CVS today in a hurry to return that orange glitter color I bought from the Milani Welcome Back Color collection (see yesterday's post for pics of the Black Magic and Welcome Back Color displays). You know how quickly Limited Edition products sell out so I didn't want to waste any time (I was already having nightmares that I'd walk into CVS to see all of these displays completely empty by the time I got there).

So first I want to thank everyone who commented yesterday about which color I should buy from the Black Magic collection. I got it down to two choices but I just couldn't pick one, so I bought them both. I know that's so indulgent (I mean really, who needs mulitple black glitter polishes?) but I couldn't help myself because, well, they're limited editions and they're gorgeous.

(All pics where taken after three coats and no base coat or top coat.)

I bought "Magical" which is the orange micro-glitter in a sheer black base:

Isn't this gorgeous? It reminds of a crazy night sky where all the stars are burning hot orange. Oh and I want to add that if this polish looks extra bumpy, it's not the glitter--I accidentally touched the tip of my finger so the bumps you see are my fingerprints. This formula actually isn't really too bumpy because the glitter is very fine. Also, these pics were taken after three coats. I achieved almost 100% opacity with two coats, but the third coat really brought out the orange so I went for it.

The second one I purchased was "Fairy Tale" which is the royal blue micro-glitter in a sheer black base:

Boy oh boy are these shades gorgeous, and I'm SO happy to report that they are just as pretty on as they are in the bottle. The only complaint I have is that they take a while to dry, but I think that's because I'm not used to applying three coats (I'm a two-coat kind of girl because I have no patience). Other than that, they apply very smoothly and they're only streaky on the first coat (which is to be expected because the base is sheer black).

Also, I tried to snap some better pics of the Milani Welcome Back Color display so that you can get a better idea of these gorgeous pastels. I had the light bubblegum pink and the green in my basket for the entire time I was shopping but then put them back at the last minute. I'm so in love with the purple I bought yesterday that I just instantly wanted to buy more...but I don't really think I'd get much use out of the pink or green (at least not until next summer maybe?) so I couldn't justify it.

The back row is the creams and the row in front of that is the creams with the multi-colored micro-glitter and bar glitter (sorry that you can't see the glitter at all in these pics!):

I still think it's kind of strange that the coral, green and purple colors are all creams but their glittery counterparts are shimmers, while the rest of them are creams with cream & glitter counterparts.

What colors do you want from these collections? I would LOVE to know what you've got your eye on!
