Rainy Skies

Yesterday I purchased my very first Milani polish called Silver Dazzle.  Not sure what made me choose this color but I don't own anything like it so I decided to give it a try.  There are many types of colors that aren't flattering to my skin tone and I think this is one of those shades.  I love the sparkle but a different color would look much nicer.  Nonetheless, it was a perfect choice for the crappy rainy weather today in NYC :P

Milani - Silver Dazzle

The photo quality isn't the best it can be.  The top middle pic the "real life" appearance of the color, in my opinion. I do own a decent digital camera but I get lazy dealing with the various settings. Also, excuse the tip wear lol I'm very rough with my hands and manicures never last me more than a couple of days!

Application:
Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
2 coats of Silver Dazzle
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Welcome!

Hello.  I'm Nikki and welcome to my very first post!  I've recently re-discovered my love of nail polish and I've been inspired by other bloggers to post swatches of all the great colors out there! I'm new at this and I'm learning so much about nail care, designs and technique so I'll be posting swatches strictly for fun.  Feel free to leave any comments or opinions.

First up is my current mani.

Sinful Colors -  Tokyo Pearl

In other blogs, I noticed a lot of people don't care for the pearly type of polishes because of the brush strokes but I found this color very flattering and easy to work with and I don't mind seeing the brush strokes at all.  I think this polish is more vivid in person so I'm not sure if my iphone and the lighting did a great job of capturing it.

Application:
Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
