Back to Black

Today I did a gradient featuring the Maybelline Color Show nail polish that I did a post on the other day. Turns out the polish lasts really well without chipping! I was impressed so I wanted to do a little something extra to my manicure. I knew I wanted to do a gradient, but wasn't sure with which color. So as I was going through my collection, it was between chunky glitter, lilac, white, or black.

Well, I obviously chose black because.. let's be honest, I adore dark nail polish. I used a black OPI polish that has no name because it came in a Halloween kit I bought one year.

Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out so until next time! :)



Maybelline Color Show - Fuchsia Fever Swatches and Review

Yesterday, while I was at my drugstore I saw the new Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer's

I decided I wanted to give one a try so I picked up this gorgeous color called Fuchsia Fever.

I was so excited about this color because I saw a Zoya polish almost the same color called Charisma!

So, I thought.. I could save some money buying this one instead.

As soon as I got home I started on my manicure!

I think the color is absolutely gorgeous!

 However, it took me around 3-4 coats to get the opacity I was looking for. That's alot especially since I'm used to only doing two coats!

Also, the polish dries really quickly which is fantastic and allows me to apply the coats at a quicker pace. When the polish dries it has a matte-like finish (you can see this in the first photo), but then I applied a top coat and they became so shiny and gorgeous!

So, overall...

I love the color.

I love how quickly it dires.

I don't love the amout of coats it takes.

I don't particularly love the finish either.

 I would give this polish a C+ grade.
