Milani Fantastical Plumage Collection!

Today I have the Milani Fantastical Plumage Collection! This collection features 5 cremes and 1 specialty Sprinkles effect topcoat! According to Milani this collection "was inspired by the vibrant and tropical colors of feathers." 

Peacock
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Peacock is a bright sky blue creme. I used 2 coats for full opacity. The formula was decently smooth, but not the easiest to work with. I love the brightness of this color and am a sucker for blues so Peacock  is a winner to me!

Blue Jay
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Blue Jay is a medium royal blue creme. I used 2 coats for full opacity. The formula of Blue Jay was even and smooth, I had no issues with application in 2 coats. I love this royal blue, I don't own another polish like it so I am happy to add it to my collection.

Purple Martin
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
 Coat 3:
Purple Martin is a medium lavender creme. I used 3 coats for full opacity. Like Peacock, the formula was not the easiest to work with, but I didn't have too many issues with application.

Canary
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:

Canary is a bright yellow creme. I used 2 coats for full coverage. I did not have any issues with application, which I find fantastic for a yellow, you don't typically find that! I love this bright yellow and am happy to add it to my polish collection!

Scarlet
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:

Scarlet is a medium red-orange creme. I used 2 coats for full opacity. I did not have any issues with the formula, it applied smoothly and evenly.

Carnival
Coat 1:
 Coat 2:
Carnival is black and white glitter mix, there is a mix of larger white hexagons, smaller black hexagons and black bar glitter. You can use either 1 or 2 coats to your liking. I had a bit of an issue with glitter placement, it required a decent amount of manipulation.

Overall I think the Fantastical Plumage Collection has some great cremes that I am glad to add to my collection, there are a few issues with formula, but nothing incredible drastic.

Milani Polishes are DBP, Toluene & Formaldehyde Free and retail for $4.49 for the cremes and $4.99 for the Sprinkles top coat at various drugstores.
