Happy Saturday! Today’s post responds to many of your requests for nail art! I loved the Milani Textured Creams so much that I decided to use them to create three, do-it-yourself nail art looks. These polishes were so easy to work with! You can see my full review of the collection HERE, but below is a quick reminder of what each polish looks like on its own.
Now, let me show you the nail art I created! The only tool you will need besides the nail polish is scotch tape!
First I did a simple, diagonal look using Tainted in Red and Spoiled in Fuchsia. I painted my nails with Spoiled in Fuchsia, and then waited for the polish to dry completely. Then I took the scotch tape and covered up half of my nail, and painted over the other half using Tainted in Red. Before the polish dried, I carefully peeled off the tape to reveal this fun manicure! This diagonal look is so easy to create, but looks really cool. You can easily add another color as well!
Next I did a cloud manicure using Aqua Splash as my base and Yellow Mark for the clouds. This technique is surprisingly easy to create. All you do is apply your polish in three strokes — a long stroke on the edge, a middle one, and a short one! It’s as simple as that! I love this manicure so much that I’ve recreated in many times. I think the cloud manicure is perfect with these Milani Textured Creams because you get the added dimension from the textured finish!
Last but not least is my take on a half moon manicure using Purple Streak and Shady Gray. First, I painted my nails with Purple Streak. After the polish had dried completely, I placed a piece of scotch tape at the bottom of my nail and painted the rest with Shady Gray. This gave me a half moon manicure with a straight line instead of a curved one. I love the geometric look, and this is an edgy take on the half moon! I also love the color palette!
All in all, these nail are techniques are so simple that I know you can do-it-yourself! I found the Milani Textured Creams to be really easy to work with, as they dry quickly and have the perfect formula. Be sure to see my last entry for my review of this collection!

Great looks! My favourite has to be the clouds. The aqua and yellow look great together! 🙂
Ra ♥
I think so, too! Thanks 🙂
I love it!!! I’ve had such bad luck with Milani in the past but you’ve got me seriously reconsidering!
A few years ago I had bad luck and didn’t buy any until this year. They’re great! Definitely give the brand a second chance.
I’ve been searching for these polishes, one of the walgreens I went to didn’t have them, an the closest cvs is 2 hours away…you worked nicely with them!
Thanks! Be sure to check out my full review of these polishes to find out all of the stores that will carry this line!
I can’t decide if I like the clouds more or the rocking, different half moons! I need to recreate both! They’re so cool!
I don’t have textured polish. Milani isn’t stocked in South Africa but I think that both looks I could recreate with ordinary polish too! Maybe I’ll do some clouds this week as I really liked that!
These will definitely all work with regular polish! Let me know how yours come out!
I can’t wait to try the textured polishes, they look so cool! I hope they’re here to stay longer than the “shatter” products, I feel like those came and went.
These are so cool! I definitely love what you’ve done with them 🙂
I might just be convinced to try some textured polish…
