Fun colors, great price
amygab1126 (240 reviews)

This is a good polish for the price. I really love the colors it comes in. I have to touch-up the tips of my polish daily, no matter what brand I'm using, so I didn't find this to be any worse than most as far a chipping is concerned. The drying time wasn't long and the polish didn't thicken in the bottle the way that a lot of cheap polishes do. For the great colors and low price, I'll continue to buy them. — 3 years, 4 months ago

Seriously bad
hananoire (49 reviews)

I have two of these and I dislike them intently. They take forever to dry and even when they seem quite dry, they actually aren't and you end up with a mess on your nails. These were a waste of my money and my time... oh, all the time I spent waiting for my nails to dry... I'm disappointed beyond belief. — 2 months, 1 week ago

Ruby Jewels
shinyandiknowit (79 reviews)

I think this is a fabulous nail polish. IF you use a good base coat, and IF you can wait more than 30 seconds for it to dry. I had no issues with mine drying, and I was able to apply several coats with no goop/glitter problems except on one nail where I really messed up by accidentally depositing way to much on one corner. After a shift in retail, I notice very minimal chipping at the tips of my nails, but no more than one would experience with any other nail polish. Especially since I haven't applied a top coat at all yet. It dries matte, but will look fine with a shiny top coat if you want the nails to look shiny and glittery. I honestly kind of like the color matte, so I guess that's why I've been holding off on the topcoat, and just to get an idea of how much it would wear. Overall, I adore this color, and this is the first glitter polish I have been this satisfied with. I haven't taken it off yet, but I am fully prepared for an excruciatingly annoying experience like I've had with all glitters, plus this is a red, so I'm expecting removal to be doubly messy. However, if I find this polish comes off with less hassle than other glitters and reds, I think I may have stumbled upon something brilliant... — 1 week, 1 day ago

Never again.
Jellybelly5 (16 reviews)

I have this in plain black, black with red sparkles, and a cherry pie color. Beautiful colors but absolutely horrible quality. I definitely agree with what someone else said: takes forever to dry and even when you think it's dry then go to sleep or something, you wake up with scratched up looking nails! — 1 month, 2 weeks ago

The color I bought went on very beautifully...it was a little sheer, but two coats looked wonderful. It does require periodic touchups, but overall, I'm happy. — 10 months, 1 week ago

Won't be repurchasing.
rozbie (67 reviews)

I bought this in Ruby Jewels, a glittery red color. The polish was thin, so it dried pretty fast, but required 3 coats to get a decent color. It also started to chip and wear away after a couple days. The finished coat was flat and dull, so needs a topcoat to give it shine. That gave it some staying power, but not much. — 1 year, 2 months ago

So sheer!
DeborahD (7 reviews)

The color I tried, Midnight Sating (It was from a Holiday Collection, I believe) was so sheer, that I had to apply 3 coats, and would have added more, but it takes so long to dry that I didn't bother. Worth the price, but that's not saying much. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Great nail polish
sneakachu (5 reviews)

This polish really pleasantly surprised me! It's affordable, has awesome color payoff (at least the colors I bought), and really seems to last better than other drugstore brands. It didn't chip at all for about a week, not even the tips of my nails! The consistency of the nail polish makes it really easy to apply and I have had no problems with streaking or dragging. It's not a "quick dry" formula but it doesn't take forever to dry, either, plus you don't need to apply more than two coats. I can get away with one coat for the creme colors! I really look forward to Milani adding more colors in the future. — 3 years ago

bad, and I know cheap polish!
Cee (24 reviews)

I swear this turned my toenails yellow, it's finally growing out now. Won't use this again. I thought the colors were ok in the bottles, I have a thing for green toe nail polish, but when their green shade was "on" it ended up looking juvenile. HIGHLY metallic. Someone jokingly asked me if I used stainless steel on my toes. I was joking that it was actually car paint. On the flipside because it's highly metallic it stays on forever! (A good thing if you like the look). — 3 years, 8 months ago
