Go Buffs! Spring (?) Version 1.0 and 2.0

Posted by yoshi2560 at 12:26 AM Labels: Glitter, Gold, Milani, review, Song of the Day
My friend texted me last Saturday and said "do you want to go to Wyoming?" And I said sure, since we were having the crazy basketball game that night. So we all piled into a couple of cars and caravaned up to the border, took a few pictures after some games of Padiddle, then went to the game. Unfortunately, the Buffs didn't pull out that victory, which dropped us from our NCAA ranking.

Then on Wednesday we had a double-header against CSU, our biggest rival (not in the Pac-12).  I'm thrilled to say we won both games, and after 5.5 hours for the band, we were able to go home to our final papers and projects under the adrenaline of a Buffalo victory. 

Before we left for the game on Saturday, I sat down and pulled out the other Milani I got when we were in LA for the USC game. It's Gold Glitz, and it's from their "One-Coat Glitter" collection. It's a warm gold glitter with a touch of copper glitter too. I actually got so many compliments on this color! We couldn't wear gold for the Wyoming game since their students were doing a "gold-out" so I wore this insane gold on my nails instead!

You can see how each nail looks different depending on the light.

Glitttteeeerrrrrrrr!


Pro's:
  • Look at that color and tell me it's not insane.
  • It's a unique gold! It isn't just gold, it's copper too. And it looks different in every light.
  • It's not exactly a "one-coat glitter" and it takes 2 coats to even out, but for a glitter that's pretty good.
  • Very quick dry-time.
  • Super easy to apply, the glitter wasn't chunky at all.
Con's:
  • Top-coat eater! Took two coats of top coat to smooth this out, same with the other Milani glitter I have (Purple Gleam).
  • Bitch to remove (like every other glitter polish, though), but if done with foil it's not terrible.
Overall, this baby gets an A-. I will definitely be wearing it again, it is going to become a new staple in my "Go Buffs!" category of polish.

Also, here's a picture of us at the border between Colorado and Wyoming! It was pretty cold out, but we obviously were in a good mood:
