I reviewed it, here in case you're curious about what I thought. http://www.icynails.blogspot.com/2013/04/opi-my-vampire-is-buff-swatch-and-review.html YMMV, as always but that beauty was a bit of a beast, to me! LOL <br /><br /><br />These Milani polishes are pretty but nothing special and unique enough to make them worth the application angst. I may pick up the glitter topper, tho. It looks fun. :)erikatheicyonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-71089659322930315412013-07-24T10:15:50.686-04:002013-07-24T10:15:50.686-04:00Even though they were a struggle to work with...yo...Even though they were a struggle to work with...you make them look good.

I found Sprinkles applied really easily, the long bar glitters can be tricky to get them situated on your nail, but that wasn't a big deal.imperfectpaintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-63406732601399818472013-07-23T22:54:33.449-04:002013-07-23T22:54:33.449-04:00Thank you!Thank you!imperfectpaintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-61838129483254869282013-07-23T22:54:26.011-04:002013-07-23T22:54:26.011-04:00I love Almond Bliss too, I think I should check ou...I love Almond Bliss too, I think I should check out the OPI and see if I like that formula better. I think there are quite a few people who equate great swatches to great polish, but I think a lot of people also do their research. I know I will look at a handful of blog reviews before purchasing colors I'm thinking about. Everyone's experience with a polish is different especially since we all have different nails, polishing techniques, base coats/ top coats. I hope most people would consider that before purchasing a product or completely neglecting a product based on one persons pictures or review!imperfectpaintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-85885421133184195002013-07-23T22:50:10.346-04:002013-07-23T22:50:10.346-04:00I love Creamy Pistachio as a color same goes with ...I love Creamy Pistachio as a color same goes with Almond Bliss.

But, I will probably get Sprinkles.

I aim to make my swatches as nice as possible, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to that, but I'm afraid a lot of people equate great swatches with great polish. I'm always honest when something gives me trouble, but a lot of people tend to skim the blog posts and just look at the pretty pictures. <br /><br /><br />Out of this collection my favourite is Almond Bliss, but I think that's because it reminds me of OPI My Vampire is Buff, my all time favourite polish EVER! :)Meghanhttp://willpaintnailsforfood.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-80964856079738784962013-07-23T12:56:47.377-04:002013-07-23T12:56:47.377-04:00I forgot to add, that's like me & Essie.
