Milani - Dress Maker



So my Models Own order didn't show up.... *stomps around like a 5 year old*  Hopefully it shows up soon! I'm starting to get worried it will never arrive :( Its ok though, because I have been meaning to try Milani Dress Maker which I got over a month ago now. 

Check out the swatches after the jump!


Dress Maker is a mint green polish with green shimmer. As you would all know by now, this polish is meant to be a dupe for Chanel's Jade which was released at Fashion's Night Out last year. 

Sadly, I wasn't into nail polish when Jade came out so I missed out on it and therefore can't compare the two. However from the swatches I have seen online, Dress Maker is a really affordable alternative to Jade.

Dress Maker applied pretty well, but was a little on the sheer side. This was three coats and you can still see VNL, however, it dried reasonably quick.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if it wasn't for the shimmer, this polish would be a bit bleh! I think it is just that greens don't really agree with my skin colour at the moment. I'm sure once I get tanned in summer, I'll have more love for these kinds of colours.

It's only 8:30pm here, but I'm off to bed to get some rest and try and shake this flu. Goodnight! x
