MAYBELLINE POLKA DOTS & HOLOGRAPHIC NAIL POLISH

Hi everyone,

              Thought I would share with you the Maybelline Polka Dots and Holographic polish that I purchased.

I'll start with the holographic since I only bought one which is 25 MYSTIC GREEN. This was really the only colour in the holographic collection that tickled my fancy, but that will differ from person to person.

 

This is a very nice chrome green with lots of shine. It applies nicely, but I do notice a bit of streaking. I love the rich multi dimensional tone of this particular polish. However as I said the other colours in the collection fell a bit short for me personally. I also have a lot of polish already and have some other polishes arriving soon that I will be reviewing.

The other 4 colours in this collection are Blue Blaze, Bold Gold, Lavender Lustre, Alluring Rose

which you can see on Maybelline's website now

 

Next up are the Polka Dots, first is PRETTY IN POLKA which is a nice girly pink. I actually really like this "POLKA DOT" effect as they are calling it. It's fun to look at and makes a bold statement.

 

The base of the nail polish is like a jelly affect its not opaque and you do need at least 2 coats to achieve a deeper colour and evenly distribute the confetti.

I also think this would be super fun polish for tween girls every where. So why not have a nail polish party for your girls today and make sure to have these exciting polka dot polishes ready, sure to be a hit.

 

 

Then I also got the colour BLUE MARKS THE SPOT. I really like this colour as well, but its funny because my husband said it reminds him of granite counter tops lol. Which yes I can also see how that might be or even the textured countertop paint. Now you can match your nails to your kitchen;)

 

 

 

The last colour I picked is DROPS OF JADE this is my favorite of the polishes I am mentioning today. It's bright, oceanesque (if that's even a real word) and will go well with summer attire.

 

 

All in all I give these polishes a 4 out 5 because they are really fun to wear and look at. Also I have previously purchased a color show polish in the past which was "Green with Envy" and found it had fairly good staying power.

 

So the day after I wrote this blog I made sure to wear one of the polka dot colours all day. I found that if I just apply that alone the colour base does start to chip. I do a lot daily and have that problem with most polishes no matter the brand. However when it's time to take it off make sure to have industrial strength remover on hand as the confetti bits make it quite the task. I love sparkle and jazzy confetti polishes, I just really hate trying to get them back off.

Also the other thing I wanted to point out that is good is if you make a minor error with the polka dot polish its barely noticeable because so much else is going on with the polish itself. So it's pretty fool proof. I find this a bonus as usually I don't have a lot of time to sit there waiting for base coat, 2nd coats and top coats to dry and I just need to get it on and go. This is a good option for me.

 

each bottle is 7ml and was $2.96 at Canadian Walmart's this week

 

I would love to see Maybelline bring out a holographic red, orange and yellow in this collection that would be awesome.

 

Let me know in the comments what your favorites are in the polka dots and holographic collection

 

till next time everyone....

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
