REVIEW! | Milani Pink Express + Flaming Race High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Nail Lacquers

All right stop, collaborate and listen!  Milani's back with some brand new editions...to their High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula nail lacquers!  Sorry, I'm having a Vanilla Ice moment. :)

Milani's added several new shades to their quick drying polish collection, and I picked up Flaming Race and Pink Express, $4.99 USD.

Milani Flaming Race, Pink Express

Pink Express is described as a "light pink cream".  I needed two coats to make this lovely candy pink shade fully opaque, which is not bad at all.  I only point this out because the brand claims these polishes are "one coat", and I thought this color looked a little patchy and needed a second coat.  Still, it's an absolutely charming pink and, to me, totally worth a two coat effort!  

Milani Pink Express (Essie Set in Stones silver glitter accent nail)

My Rating: B+ (Due to Pink Express needing more than one coat)

Where to Buy: Milani 

Milani Flaming Race (OPI Alpine White accent nail)

Flaming Race is described as a "red coral cream".  I had no problem getting this gorgeous, almost neon, orange red to cover in one coat.  The flat brush provides great coverage and I had no problem with the polish bubbling or pooling.  Flaming Race with white dotted on top reminds me of the mushrooms in Super Mario Brothers games!

One thing of note for my nail polish junkies out there, if you already own OPI Cajun Shrimp, you can probably skip Flaming Race.  They are identical!  If you don't own Cajun Shrimp, Flaming Race is a few bucks cheaper, more widely available at drugstores across the US, and gives you the same quality formula and finish.

The quality of this polish is fantastic; I've now tried 4 different shades from the Fast Dry One Coat line and they've outperformed more expensive polish across the board.  I also love that Milani is available in the US at drugstores and large retailers like Target, so they are very easy to find.

My Rating: A
