Milani: High Speed Fast Dry Polishes

Today I have some Milani High Speed Fast Dry Polishes for swatch and review! Milani says "STOP! Wardrobe change? No problem! Milani’s New High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula is fast and luxurious. Dries in 60 seconds." These highly pigmented, opaque cremes dry super quickly and apply with a smooth formula.


Black Swift
Coat 1:
Black Swift is a perfect black creme with a super shiny finish. I normally have an issue with application of black cremes, but the formula was amazing, I used 1 coat for full opacity. I would definitely consider Black Swift a go-to black creme for myself now, the formula was a dream to work with.


Jiffy Orange
 Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Jiffy Orange is a gorgeous medium orange creme. I used 2 coats for full opacity, although I think 1 coat would have been okay, but I used 2 coats just for extra security! Orange has been a staple color for me lately and I think this is another go-to polish in my collection


Hot Pink Frenzy
Coat 1:
Coat 2:

Hot Pink Frenzy is a gorgeous medium pink with a gorgeous light pink/white shimmer. I used 2 coats for full opacity, although you can see the formula wasn't as smooth as some of the other polishes, but still a great formula overall. * The bottom picture is more color accurate*

Violet Dash
 Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Violet Dash is a gorgeous lavender creme. I used 2 coats for full opacity, but again the formula was a bit uneven in application. 

Rapid Cherry
 Coat 1:
Rapid Cherry is a medium cherry red creme. I don't think Rapid Cherry is a particularly unique color, but the formula was smooth and opaque in 1 coat


Yellow Whiz
 Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Yellow Whiz is a bright yellow medium creme. I used 2 coats for full coverage. The formula was fantastic again, I usually have issues with yellow polishes being runny, but Yellow Whiz applied easily and opaquely. 

White on the Spot
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
White on the Spot is a white creme, that was fully opaque with 2 coats. Definitely my new go-to white creme. A good white creme is essential for layering polish and for so many different nail art techniques, and I am so glad to have White on the Spot now. 

Fast Fuchsia 
Coat 1:

Fast Fuchsia is a bright pinkish fuchsia creme. The application was a bit uneven, but opaque in 1 coat. All the High Speed Fast Dry Polishes lived up to their name and dried super quickly. 

I also had the chance to review the Milani Base and Top Coat

Base Coat
The Base Coat was a basic sheer pink tinted with a thin formula. I did not notice the usual staining that comes with darker polishes after using the Base Coat, but the polishes were not applied for a long amount of time. The formula was thin, but very smooth.   


Top Coat
The Top Coat provided a super shine finish to the Milani High Speed Fast Dry Polishes. Dry time was not extremely quick, but the shine definitely added a beautiful finish to the polishes. 

Overall, Milani High Speed Fast Dry Polishes were high quality cremes that applied pretty smoothly and dried quickly. I was impressed with the opaque formula. Although these particular color choices were not out of the ordinary, the formula of the polishes made them unique, and a new staple in my nail polish collection.
