I tried Milani’s French Manicure Nail Lacquer in Lily Valley with Creative Nail Designs Super Shiney high gloss top coat, and Stickey Base Coat on Monday. Umm, I’m not going to tell you how old the top coat and the base coat are :-).

I mentioned in my first post,Milani’s French Manicure Nail Lacquer Review, that I had trouble with streaks on my right hand.

This time, after the application of the base coat, I had trouble with streaking on both hands, but I found out that if I put on a thicker coat of nail polish, I didn’t have trouble with streaks at all.

Unfortunately this is supposed to be a sheer nail lacquer, and I liked the sheer lilac tint that I got the last time I used the polish. With the heavier coats, the polish was pale pink color, instead of the sheer lilac that I fell in love with.

The nail polish actually didn’t chip Tuesday! But it started chipping Wednesday morning in the shower.

I was really surprised that with the top coat and the base coat, the polish actually seemed to chip a lot faster than it did without it.

Here is a picture of my nails on Thursday.

You can see that the polish is a lot darker than it was in the original picture, and that a lot more of it is gone.

I thought the reason for wearing a base coat and a top coat was to keep polish from chipping, but in this case it made the polish chip more. What’s up with that.

I’m sure I’ll try this again, but next time I will probably just use one coat of the polish, with nothing else.

If it’s going to chip the next day, I might as well just do one coat, and try to get the pale lilac color that I like best.
