Milani 3D Holographic Part 3: Hi-Res & Digital

Finally, we are at the final portion of our Milani 3D holographic collection review. Hi-Res is a blue toned holographic purple color. Digital is a  pretty rose toned holographic pink polish. These swatches are three coats with no top coat or base coat, and a breeze to apply. This collection is nothing short of beautiful! I only chose Hi-Res over Digital is because I am just a little partial to purples. I swear, this collection is just fun to have. I always get compliments any time I wear one of these colors. I think I like it even more because they are so affordable compared to many polishes nowadays.

Hi-Res Outside: Isn't it just grape-a-licious!
Hi-Res Inside: Hello beautiful!
Digital Outside: Stunning!
Digital Inside: It is still a nice shimmery pink!
 Well, if you couldn't tell, I really love this collection of polishes minus 3D. It is a well rounded group of colors. My only wish is that they come out with bolder colors for this collection instead of the traditional pastel holographic colors.

Milani 3D Holographic Part 2: Cyberspace & Hi-Tech


I have part two of the collection here for you. It is Cyberspace, which is the light blue holographic color in the collection. I absolutely love this color. I get compliments all the time when I wear it. The other color is Hi-Tech which is a soft grassy yellow green holographic polish. Both take two-three coats for full coverage, depending on how thick of coats you do. No top coat was used in these photos. These colors look great. They are a scattered holographic polish, but even indoors you can still catch a slight rainbow, otherwise they look like great shimmer polishes. Removal and clean up are a breeze with these polishes. Another benefit of these is no need for a specialty base or top coat, neither will affect the holo-ness!

Outside: This picture is true to color. I just love blues!
Inside: It tends to look more on the dusty blue side while indoors but still fabulous!
Outside: This picture makes the green look a lot lighter than it actually is, but I wanted to show the great holographic effect.
Inside: Now that is much more like the real color. See, it is still a beautiful light green shade.

Well what do you think?

Milani 3D Holographic Part 1: 3D and HD

I have two of the six polishes in the Milani 3D Holographic collection to show you today. All of these polishes were easy to apply with full coverage at three coats. They had a nice glossy finish, so no top coat was used. The first two I have to show you is 3D and HD. 3D is a gold color that definitely leans on the yellow side. This is the only color I did not like out of the group because it just didn't flatter me. The other color, HD, is a cool toned silver. I of course loved this color, because it is silver and holographic. Now, these are scattered holographic polishes that still give off a little rainbow in indoor lighting. So, on to the pictures.

3D Inside (See, the color just wasn't workin' with me.)
HD Outside (Much better.)
HD Inside
You can see in the pictures that the holographic particles are not tinted the same color of the polish. I think this does give the colors a neat shimmery effect, but it is noticeable in all of the polishes except HD. I  purchased the entire collection at CVS.Well what do you think?
