Milani sure has been busy lately. In addition to coming out with the brand new Bella Eyes Gel Powder shadow collection (reviewed here), they launched a brand new collection of Color Statement Nail Lacquer. And lucky me, I received them all to try out!
The new Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer is all new. First, I ADORE the new packaging in the round bottles. They look so much more modern than the old bottles. And I love the fact that I can see the brand name on the bottle. Now, it really stands out!
So far, I have tried about 7 of the 37 shades. I am not one to change my polish every day like the nail bloggers do. I like to wear my polish for at least 5 days, and I am thrilled that the new Milani helps me achieve that goal! That’s the reason, actually, that I’ve tried less than a fourth of the shades. I haven’t had to change my polish often enough since I’ve received them to get through the colors. It’s Day 6 of the polishes I put on last week!
Also different about the new formula is something I discovered on my own. I was applying Pink Beige. I put on one coat, and I noticed that was enough. I thought it was a mistake, so I put on a second coat…just for good luck, I guess, because I really didn’t need it. Then, I looked at some info that the company included with the polish that said, “One stroke. High-gloss finish. Long-lasting color.” Oh, they’re right! One coat would’ve done it. And yes, it was very glossy! I applied a coat of the Milani Color Statement topcoat because I didn’t want to take any chances. My hands are in water a lot, and I garden so I am hard on my polish. BTW, Milani says that the new polish is detergent and chip-resistant, and I have found, so far, that the new Milani formula is longer-lasting for me than the old formula was without a doubt.
The shades represent an amazing variety: sheers, creams, metallics, glitters with lots of colors. Actually, there’s a good selection of colors in the collection, except for a true nude shade (the Pink Beige is nude-ish). Thankfully, I still have their old nude shade that I still love. Here’s the color chart that Milani provided:
So far, I’ve done three manis using the new shades, and I’ve already shown you two of them. In the first one, I used the hot pink, Bombshell, and lighter pink, Dollface, with the glitter topper, Clublights, on the accent nail. I just love these girly pinks!
The second one appeared in my post on this summer’s hot color: orange. In this mani, I alternated different orange shades on my nails. I used Corrupted Coral and Mango Tango (and one of Milani’s old toppers, Sugar Rush on top of Mango Tango on the accent nail).
Last, here’s what’s on my nail right now: one of my favorite shades, Pink Beige, with Mauving Forward on my accent nail.
And here are swatches of all the polishes that I received. Boy, am I going to have fun making my way through all of them!
The new Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquers are now sold on the Milani display. I saw them this week in my local CVS. They are also available on www.milanicosmetics.com for $3.99. Each bottle is 0.34 fl. oz./10 ml. It’s made in the U.S.

you said it, Brooke!
I haven’t tried any of their new lacquers, but I’m hoping to! I saw that Milani is supposed to be B1G1 50% off at CVS this week, so maybe I’ll score a few of the polishes and some of the new eyeshadows!
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…Indecisive Tea Party
Yes, Nidia! Another commenter on my Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder shadows post just let me know about it. I should add it to my post, I guess, or hopefully someone who’s interested will read your comment!!
Ohhhh my gosh, they are so pretty! I need all the pinks heheh.. Thanks for adding to my addiction 🙂 Great review
Heather recently posted…Sinful Colors Full Throttle Textured Polishes
The pinks are so cute, Heather! That’s why I pretty much started with them. But I must say the reds are gorgeous, and I can hardly wait to try the lavender and the gold and bronze are stunning too.
Pink Beige and Mauving Forward look like great transition colors for fall!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide!
Yes, I agree. In fact, they are similar to Madeline and Aubrey that I just bought from Zoya’s fall Naturel 2 collection. 🙂
I SO need to find Corrupted Coral!
Ange recently posted…The Busy Girl’s Guide To Fitness with Stayfree
You should get one, Ange. It is a beautiful summer shade!
I’ll go broke buying Milani’s newest releases! I love what they did with these polishes and their newest eye shadows.

Such an amazing collection with a vast range!!

I’m not a fan of round nail polish lids. I just can’t hold them as well as I can tapered ones.

Oh, that’s very interesting, Kimmi! I never thought about it.
So much nail polish! I don’t paint my nails very often these days but I’ve been trying to do my pedicure about every week. I haven’t tried these yet!
Tina @ My Highest Self recently posted…Softlips Cube 5 in 1 Lip Care in Vanilla Bean
I’m impressed Tina that you do a pedicure every week! I do mine once a month, lol. Yes, Milani is tempting us with gorgeous new products for nail and for eyes. I’m hyperventilating
I recently picked up two of these nail polishes and I actually just reviewed them on my blog two. I got Mauving Forward and Mint Crush and I completely agree with you, they are fabulous. I was also really surprised that one coat was enough! I’m looking forward to picking up more colors.
Agata recently posted…Miss Manga Mascara
I’m eager to use Mint Crush, too, Agata. These new lacquers are so much fun. I’m also adoring gold and bronze. I’ll check out your review too.
I’ve been playing with these colors and I LOVE them!!
I’m glad to hear you say that, Lisa, because you are the Polish Queen 🙂
Gorgeous swatches! I haven’t tried any of these yet, but I keep eyeing them at cvs! I’ll definitely be needing Bombshell, and probably ALL of the pinks!! I love that Coral on you!
Amber recently posted…Summer Getaway Essentials with U by Kotex
They really are quite lovely shades. I have so many “favorites”, Amber, it would be hard to choose. But Bombshell was the first one I tried.
That bright blue color looks like a dupe for the old, beloved but discontinued Pacific Blue color by Sally Hansen! What do you think?
Yurianna, you’ve got me! I am not a big Sally Hansen user so I am not familiar with it. I can say, however, that the Milani blue is a beautiful medium blue shade. I’ve gotta use it in a mani very soon! Thanks so much for your comment 🙂
