the irony is that they never say what they mill those things finer *than*. Personally, I think they are comparing the grinds to the grit size of... oh... SAND.

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being finest grind, here is how I would rate the pigments of some of the department store leaders:

Channel - 3
Lancome - 5
Shisedo - 7
Urban Decay - 4
Mac - 9
Make-Up Forever - 10 (yes, I do love love love them)
Ben Nye - 7
Prescriptives - 5

Drug stores/order:

Wet and Wild - 3
Milani - 5
Jane - 2
Avon - 3
Mary Kaye - 3
Bare Essentials - 4

as for nail polish specifically.. I would have to do that one at home, where I keep the big bucket of polish (it weighs about 15lbs now).

If you have a brand you want to know specifically, feel free to ask. Or you can email me at staxxy (at) gmail (dot) com

The finer the grind, the better not just the *blend* but also the crisp line (for effects, or lining), and the less you need to use of the stuff to get the "cake" color (the color that it is when in the container).
