Seventy Six- Milani HD and 3D review!

Good morning. Arent Monday's tough? I know I didnt want to get out of bed. But I did, for you! Im going to review Milani's HD and 3D nail lacquers!

What Milani Says:

"New specialty nail lacquer that exhibits a unique 3D Holographic effect that no other nail lacquer has ever achieved. The nail lacquer appears to color-shift as the illumination source or the viewing angle changes. This color phenomenon is based on Holographic Image Technology that makes a very thin, bright, embossed metallic flake look like a rainbow. It allows the color to travel from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet; seven distinctive colors of the color spectrum."

Disclamer: I decided to use these as topcoats. I know that  they look beautiful on their own but I think the magic happens when you layer.

Here is a picture of both bottles:

Lets start with Milani HD (the silver one)

• Well I dont think you can have a Holo collection without a silver! This silver is beautiful and almost a little grey.
• When applying by its self it is very sheer with the first coat. To get the desired color opaque three coats is needed and possibly a fourth. It is not a big deal because it dries super fast.
• The holo you get in this is slightly different from other holos, it looks like pieces of holo glitter but its not glitter because its so smooth.

Milani 3D:

•  3D is a warmer gold than mosts. It is a little too warm for me and perfect for other people.
•  It was opaque in 3 thick coats by itself. It actually shines more in sunlight more than artificial light which is good!
  

About the bottles:

• Many people feel like its a bit dated. I think it is easy to store and fine to the eye.
• The brush is nice and the handle is easy to hold.
• The holographic isnt the same as other lines, this holo is unique to Milani.
• The formula is really great for holos, drying time is fantastic and its so smooth. It was not hard to remove these.
  

I really liked this collection. I would rate this a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I love holos so I am a little biased but I feel Milani did what they set out to do with this awesome holo goodness collection. I would recomend HD and 3D and think they are great holo topcoats and pretty colors!

Now for the pictures: (layering)

A comparison of sally hansen prism and milani. The milani shines more but they have a completly different holo effect. Im glad I now have both!
