i was pretty excited when i found Rimmel "Night Before", but then i found out there were a lot of polishes that are similar to it (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Purple Pizzazz, Milani "Totally Cool", Claire's "Magic"). however, most of these versions are very sheer, and Rimmel's is pretty well pigmented. i decided not to buy the Sally Hansen one and i can't find the Claire's around here, but the Milani was within reach. the Milani is nice because the pink shimmer particles are bigger and thus more noticeable. however, the Milani is way too sheer for me, as i don't like high maintenance nail polish.
i compared swatches first
at first, i thought i might combine the Milani and the Rimmel to make a franken. then i decided that it'd just be easier to layer. so i gave the Rimmel swatch one coat of the Milani for extra shimmer and i'm pretty pleased with the end result. i can't wait to try this as a manicure. i think it'll blow all of these similar polishes out of the water!

I saw "Night Before" while at Wal-Mart yesterday and thought of you. I didn't realize from the bottle that it'd look this cool! Someone likes purple lately. ;)
