burning green! Yes the name of this colour really says exactly how this colour
appears in real life. It’s really beautiful and not a usual colour I would have
in my stash. Remember I’m a pink and blue polish girl! It reminds me of Kermit
the frog though. What do you think?
Oh did I
mention this was my first Maybelline polish? Yes I’m still in my branching out
phase. Do you think this one will bowl over my love for China Glaze? Let’s find
out together shall we!
So
despite its absolutely beautiful colour that is perfect for a summer time
manicure, the application of this polish left much to be desire. The first coat
was streaky. Ok no problem yet, usually a second coat does the trick, but no,
not in this case. It took me three coats with the last one being much thicker
than the first two thin coats to even out the application for a smooth colour. So
ok, that wasn’t totally bad, but it gets worst. The bubbles appeared! Tiny
little bubbles all over my gorgeous colour!

Can
you see the bubbles?

Gorgeous
colour, but tiny bubbles!

Really
bubbles? Oh that really annoyed me! Even with the top coat on I could see them.
I was too disappointed to even test the wear and of course I had to go to work
soon so this colour had to come off.
So I’m
really on the fence with this polish leaning towards falling over. But that
doesn’t mean I wouldn’t try Maybelline polishes again. Maybe it was just this
polish that had issues. Despite its flaws the colour is too beautiful to
ignore.
Happy Liming!

This is a really pretty color, too bad the polish didn't work out for you.

ReplyDeleteHi Preethi, glad you're back!
DeleteWhat a beautiful color! Sucks about the bubbles, though. I own the black one and it never bubbled on me.
