Milani Nail Lacquer Milani Nail Lacquers for Spring 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review

Milani has added some new shades to their regular collection of lacquers and I’ve got some of them for ya.

They come in a variety of finishes from creme, to metallic to shimmer and are big-3 free, as well as fairly inexpensive.

As far as formula, I did have some issues with a few of them being too thick and streaky. But others were really perfect.

MAC Shop MAC Cook Collection for spring 2012 features some of the cutest packaging I can remember recently AND some great products!

Shop features most of the goodies including nail lacquers, lipsticks, eye shadow quads and cream blushes. Cook features three new nail lacquers, Fluidlines, powders and the extremely amazing Tendertone lip balms.

Estee Lauder’s new spring collection is called Topaz and it’s filled with gorgeous neutrals and blues.

The collection is fairly intimate but there are some really great items in it. And maybe a couple that didn’t quite meet up to my hopes and dreams…

BB Couture Men on Film Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

BB Couture Men on Film BB Couture Men on Film Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

BB Couture Men on Film is the second new collection from them for spring. It’s the “manly” side of the collection.

This set features matte nail colors. Four of them are matte and two have a shimmery/matte finish. Actually they’re more satin-like than truly matte.

I did have some issues with the formula with most of these. The matte (non-shimmer) ones are VERY thick. They’re kind of hard to get even with no streaks. I felt I needed two coats for maximum coverage around edges especially, but it was so thick it made it even streakier. The shimmer/mattes ones were less thick and easier to work with. No streaking.

BB Couture Girls on Tape Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

BB Couture Girls on Tape BB Couture Girls on Tape Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

Have you heard? BB Couture has a new spring collection out that features twelve new colors! The regular “women’s” collection is called Girls on Tape and that’s what I’m featuring today.

The shades in Girls on Tape are all named after movies. These six colors are flecked with either small glitter sparkles or have a shimmer finish.

Nearly all of them were just two coats, though they seemed sheer at first. Nice formula, no streaking or weird problems. The one thing I did notice was for the almost all of the glitter ones, the glitter seemed to sink into the color, so it was more in the background hiding rather than up front. I prefer the glitter to sit on top of my polish rather than sink in that much. They are a little rough (not bad though) so you’ll need a nice top coat. But you knew that already didn’t you? icon wink BB Couture Girls on Tape Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review
