ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Milani Pink Out Loud Nail Polish

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011 - 1:05 am - Fashion Tips

Over the weekend I went to a party where quite a few of my blogger friends were in attendance. Of course I asked about my nail polish and I was curious to find out what they were wearing as well. Then the subject turned to my Untrieds series, specifically the SHARE polishes.

They were giving me a hard time about the fact that I keep STASHing my untrieds and sent a small percentage to the SHARE bin. The reasoning I shared is that, for the most part, Ive been trying polishes based on my color mood rather than dig in to the pinks and reds where I know a lot of my SHAREs will come from.

Starting with todays untried, Milani Pink Out Loud, I vow to suck it up and start weeding through my pinks and reds, making sure I include at least one per week for the rest of the 365. I guess this means Ill have to organize them better. If theres anyone in the CLE with a good eye for color who wants to help, I sure could use it.

Formula & Application: Milani nail polishes are 4-Free (including formaldehyde resin). The bottles have a tapered, matte gold cap with a long, thick, round brush. The brushes on Milani polishes are longer than most and combined with the flexible bristles they allow for optimal coverage of the nail plate.

The consistency of Pink Out Loud is that of a squishy, jelly polish. It applies semi-sheer and with three coats a bit of VNL (visible nail line) peeks through. The finish is similar to Milani Totally Cool and I could be wrong but Ill bet they were released together.

Milani Pink Out Loud is a hot pink jelly polish packed with pink and gold micro-glitter. It has somewhat of a glass fleck look to it though its missing the big chunks like the ones we saw in China Glaze 108 Degrees. Actually, the more I think of it, this looks like a cross between a bright bubblegum pink and the raspberry hued 108 Degrees.

Bottom Line: The finish is lovely, no doubt, but I cant picture myself grabbing for this one anytime in the future. In spite of the barely noticeable VNL, Im sure it would make for a fabulous summer pedicure and pop against a faux glow, its just not my cup of tea.

365 of Untrieds Stash/Share Verdict: Its pretty but deserves a more loving owner. SHARE!

Milani Pink Out Loud is available at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide. Online shoppers can MilaniCosmetics.com and CherryCulture.com. Milani nail polishes retail for$4.99/ea for a .5oz bottle.

Does Pink Out Loud get your stamp of approval? How many of you already own this beauty? Am I wrong to share it?
