How did you get it so smooth?!??! I have a bunch of these Maybelline Mattes & while I love the colors, I had a horrbile time applying them. They were not self leveling, if that makes sense. They just kind of glooped on my nail leaving ridges and bumps. Also I was wondering if all of your nail polish swatches come up in your feed on my google reader. It seems you post things to twitter that don't show up in the feed. Is that right or am I imagining things. Thanks!

Hi April,
I know exactly what you mean... Some of my older maybelline's apply perfectly, while others are unforgiving and a huge pain to deal with. Usually I apply in thicker coats and if that don't do the trick, I use a glossy top coat to camouflage the flaws.

Are you subscribed to both my feeds? I recently created a gallery feed. The feeds are located to the right under "Feeds". If you have any problems, please let me know! :)

I have to agree I bought some cute colors from the spring collection and the finish on my nails had tiny bubbles in it, the brush leaves a streaky look, and it chips easily. I saw the grey a couple days back and loved the color but passed it up due to the nightmare application I experienced with the others I had purchased.

Thanks for all your hard work showing these comparisons. I'd like to tell those eBay price gougers to take a hike, but I'm sure they wouldn't care. Milani isn't available around here so I order directly from their website.

I got a lot of compliments the first day I wore this polish. It reminds me of an old Brucci nail polish I currently have that I bought years ago (no name on it - bleh) so I had to have this one. It's beautiful!

Excellent article, Steph. Thank you for this. I realize I have all the dupes except for the orange and I don't own any of those Chanel. Maybe am I cheap after all.

Steph, I tried Never Glum Plum with Orly's Love Eachother over the top. I was hoping you could do a comparison to Paradoxal?

It was this collection that made me pay attention to Orly. I had heard about them before, but this was the first time they created a lemming for me! A while ago, I bought 4 from the collection - it would've been 5, but at the time, Space Cadet was sold out. Now Trans Design has jacked up the price from $5 to $10. Good thing I got them when they were still $5. As always, your swatches are excellent. Whenever I think about buying a colour, I like to search your site to see if you've swatched them because it helps me decide. :)

I really appreciate you taking the time to swatch these comparisons. It's great that the nail-polish community tries to help each other find economical dupes. It's too bad that I don't have access to many Milani products at my local Canadian drugstores. I'll keep looking.
