That would be a shame cause it is really a pretty one. Maybe I should get a backup.
Anyway I have this color (*smug*) and it will last me for a while since I only visit it once a year or so.
(You can say I am hoarding. ;p)
Milani Totally Cool
Milani Totally Cool is a sheer cobalt blue with tons of orchid glitters.
It changes color under different lighting but mostly it looks purple with these two elements put together.
You can create a whole other look that is deeper and richer if you top Totally Cool over any black cream polish, and this way you can ease a bit of the pain of removing glitter polish, too. ;)
under warmer lighting
I almost forgot about Totally Cool and I haven't worn this for a long time.
There was a reason I dug this out and did my weekend mani with it. :)

Yup, I recently acquired NARS Marie Galante duo much enabled by my friend Pauline (She is some enabler by the way, since she made me buy summer colors when I should be shopping for the fall items! ;p)
The way these two eyeshadow shades look just made me think of this Milani polish!
So there you go.
Now you know what I am going to show you next week!
Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful weekend. :)
Ahhh pretty!!! This is definitely a color I'd wear as well!
ReplyDeleteMarie Galante seems cool, but I heard it's better for layering. Can't wait to hear what you think!
What a gorgeous colour! I think I would name it galaxy though, haha.
ReplyDeleteThe color is so vibrant and nice! Think this color can be easily incorporated with the fall colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing colour! I'm so looking for it next time
ReplyDeleteThe polish and eyeshadow compliment each other perfectly. You gotta do a look with both!
ReplyDeletegorgeous palette and nail colour!
ReplyDeletehey lena! hope you're having an amazing weekend too! omg'd i love that color!!! why do they always discontinue the fabulous ones. it's different from any purple i've seen! great shimmer and punch to it. NARS makes fabulous shadow palettes. i love those two shades chickadee!!!

They totally go together! I actually quite like that Milani polish - very shimmery, but also it looks like it has a lot of depth. And the color is quite unique, I feel - most purples are reddish and warm, like red grapes!
ReplyDeleteHe Lena, what a great match of eyeshadow + nail polish. I hadn't seen Totally Cool before, but it's a stunning color on you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shimmer! It has great depth to it. I've never tried glitter polish over black, but I shall one day soon! LOL @ shopping for summer clothes when you should be shopping for fall...I am the same way, every year! :P
ReplyDeleteAww the eyeshadow colours are amazing ! I don't know how to wear colourful eyeshadows though as I have monolids and they thend to smudge badly :( I really like the nail polish colour ! I hate that good things are to be discontinued ! But it often happens lol
ReplyDeleteo my god love the sparkles in it..love it!
ReplyDeleteyes! i really love the cobalt blue sheer base. it is a bit hard to apply since it's so sheer but nothing you can't work with.
ReplyDeletereddish purples look ugly on me (or is it that they make my hands look ugly..) so i have to be careful with purples although i love them sooo much! :)
it's hard to remove thanks to those, but they are pain-worthy glitters. ;p
ReplyDeletei use eyeshadow primer like too faced shadow insurance. i hear urban decay one is even better for oily lids as well.
ReplyDeletethese colors are very sheer and best to be used as nuance colors. they are quite hard in texture so i wouldn't think they would have bad smudging problemd. hths! :)
yeah. i think it is also because the base is very sheer and buildable. ;)
ReplyDeletei love shopping summer clearance in fall actaully. lolz
this duo was not on sale (hmmph) and my friend got me so interested in this particular duo and i chose this instead of the NARS fall collection. ;)
thank you, Dovey!
ReplyDeletei got more interested in NARS makeup, so your great reviews and swatches are very helpful to me. ;)
thank you, Chloe! :)
ReplyDeletei know, right??!
ReplyDeletei am hoping it is just a rumor. lolz
i wore the eyeshadow duo yesterday and i really like them. they are on the sheer side but they both flash blue duochrome shimmer. so pretty! :)
thank you! i will try. ;)
ReplyDeletethe polish is looking a bit old now so i might have to redo the color. lol
thank you!
ReplyDeleteit would be nice addition to your purple collection. ;)
you're so right!
ReplyDeletewith two coats, the color looks quite rich and fall appropriate. ;)
i would agree with you!
ReplyDelete(but then i just thought about Zoya Kotori that would also reminds one of galaxy. i must show this to you! ;p)
Marie Galante is definitely on the sheer side and because of that, i don't think it was received well. ;) i knew what they were before my purchase thanks to all the blog reviews & swatches.
ReplyDeletei will do a look post soon!
Hello gorgeous nail colour? I love this shade for fall, but the sparkles? That's a bonus!
ReplyDeletex.o.x.o

ReplyDeletei love wearing different purples for fall myself. this one is perfect to start that! ;)
I love so much this shade, I like purple color!!

ReplyDeletei returned your favor. ;)
thanks, Janet! :)
ReplyDeleteThe nail polish is gorgeous! I need to get myself one. When CVS has a sale on Milani products, I'll definitely get this. :)
ReplyDeletehope you find one for yourself!
ReplyDeletei was just at a local cvs but they didn't have this color.. T.T
I looked at my CVS and they don't carry this color anymore. I guess it was a LE. :/
ReplyDeleteah..then i am afraid the rumor is true! it used to be in their core collection.
ReplyDeletei will get two for both of us if i am lucky to spot the color! :)
Awww~ You're so sweet! If I find it myself, I'll get two too. :)
ReplyDeleteit might have been already...i tried to find a backup but i didn't see it from my local CVS.. ;-/
ReplyDeleteomg its soo beautiful i love the multifaceted shimmer in it! what discontinued? i need to get it asap!!
ReplyDeletedang that sucks :( such a good item to be discontinued
