I also did love Scandolous, another one of Revlon's polishes with glitters, and love the pay off!

However, since I own the OPI, I won't be buying something so close. FYI, there's a drugstore dupe of Metallic 4 Life from Milani, it's called Black Tux. I have no idea about it's availability, though.

I love the look of Metallic 4 Life but OPI and my body chemistry don't get along, their polishes always start chipping off my nails in five minutes.

This combo gives me a super smooth, glassy finish! <br /><br />Sometimes if I don't want to have such a chunky effect, I do 2 coats of black creme and just one coat of the chunky polish. I've done this for Revlon Scandalous as well (similar to M4L, IMO), and it still looks great, just less bulk lolAmelaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686123659292865152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-22829574559311364142012-08-24T23:57:39.790-07:002012-08-24T23:57:39.790-07:00I prefer the Revlon!!

I was already buying two lipsticks and four polishes so I was trying to be good. (Well, not as bad anyway!) I'll probably still pick this up though, on one of those days where you made the trip to the drugstore and can't find anything so you buy something to justify the gas!
