Maybelline Color Show ~ Street Art Collection

Hi all!! Are we ready to be snowed in? I am in Connecticut and its due to start in a few hours!!!!!! I have been absent for a few so I am taking advantage of this lazy weather to bring you swatches of the Maybelline Color Show Street Art Collection! This is a glitter packed collection that I had to have. I am not a huge fan of lots of glitter unless it is matte glitter. And even then I am a little weary. I just love my shimmer :) These happen to catch my eye while browsing my local walmarts selection. They have been making their cosmetics section much better lately. To the pics!! First up is Wild at Heart. By far my favorite in this collection. I love red so much (as long as its not polish lol) especially when its over a pretty pink polish!! I used 1 thick coat here. Like glitters normally do it dried really fast. I find that they all were really jam packed with glitter which is great but it definitely thickened up the formula. I also noticed the brush was full of little glitters that kind of just hung out there. That being said they all applied pretty easily and smoothly. With Valentines day coming up I added a heart and dragged my top coat until it smeared. it started as an accident but as soon as I saw the first red streak I was like "ooohhhh, that's unique". At least from what I have seen!!

Now here is my least favorite. This is Pink Splatter. It looks white. That is my biggest issue with this polish. I already have a bunch of those! I put this over a shimmery charcoal color for a sharp contrast hoping that would help show the pink but it didn't help very much. I may come back to this one when I find a better base color. The first 2 pics have a matte top coat.

 

This one is pretty awesome. Its called Nighttime Noise. Blue is definitely up there with my top favorite colors. This one I was very happy with!!

Here is Blue Beats. I really like the undie I chose for this. Totally makes the blue pop!!!

And last but no where near least is Green Graffiti. This was the first one I needed and the first one I swatched. You cant see just how bright the green really is. this may be another I revisit!!

So, all in all, this collection didn't wow me at all. its ok but not a must have. Maybe only grab 1 or 2 if you must!! ta ta til next time ladies :)

Maybelline ~ Pretty in polka

Hello :) today i have pretty in polka by maybelline. Glad i managed to find this. Still cant find the green :(  oh well. Ill get it eventually!!! So, as much as i love pink i still am not sure how much i like this. Its pretty and i love how bright the pink jelly is. I just find myself liking the blue way more!! I also took different pics this time. This one has 1, 2, 3, amd 4 coats from pointer to pinky. 3 Would be just fine but i have four fingers in the pic so u get the idea :)

These pics are all four coats no undies (base color). Overall this polish was the same as the blue. Pretty thick and tons of glitter. Glad i bought polish thinner. Im sure this will end up needing it!! Enjoy :)

Maybelline ~ Blue marks the spot

Today we have a polish from the polka dots collection by Maybelline. I wasnt too excited by this polish until i put it on!! I kept lookin at them in the store but always just passed by. Finally my husband said "look, there are no pinks or greens left. Im gettin you the blue one!!" Now i must have the green and pink. not sure yet about the other colors. This polish is pretty thick due to the copious amounts of glitter. Three sizes of black and white hex glitter. It went on pretty smoothly as far as chunky glitter polish goes. Because its a jelly polish it took 3 coats until i reached what i wanted for opacity. What i really liked was that this polish looked the same in the bottlle as it does on my nails. Hopefully i will have more from this collection to swatch and review soon!! Enjoy :)
