A mommy's take on Maybelline's new glitter mania nail lacquer!!!!!

Hi,

Let me be honest I love make-up, So what if your a mommy...you still have a life!! Even if you aren't going anywhere outside these boring 4 walls and your toddler is trying to get the worse outta you.....relax deep breaths distract your kiddo with anything that will get you a couple of minutes "ME" time (my strategy was a nursery rhyme DVD...the minute that cd went into place...the screaming stopped and the singing began :) )

And that's how I got myself to try this out and here goes my take on Maybelline color show glitter mania nail polish in starry nights.

Now who isn't crazy about glitter nail polishes, there is something in it that just lightens up any outfit.

Since I am always busy and find it hard to get out of home to so my shopping with my restless kiddo, I kinda do most of my makeup shopping online, at least those items I regularly use. Last week Nykaa.com had an awesome sale and this Maybelline nail polish was a part of my makeup haul. I am crazy about black and obviously picked up the Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Nail Lacquer 603
Let’s get down to the details -


Product description



It is your usual round stout Maybelline nail polish bottle only the labelling is a bit different There is nothing much on the bottle except for the label Maybelline color show glitter mania and the ingredients details.
But on their website this is what you'll find -
'Color Show Glitter Mania range is every nail-art lover's dream! When applied, these sparkling nail colors deliver a 3D shimmering effect, adding oodles of style to your tips. They also have a unique sand-textured effect that looks and feels great on your nails. With 8 glittering nail color shades to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect shade for every mood'.

They also claim it to be-
Easy to apply
Flat brush
Glossy finish
Chip resistant
Runway inspired colors
Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer would be a great addition to your make up kit. The bold, glittery colors and the creamy texture would make it an instant hit.

Price
For a 6ml bottle it is competitively priced at Rs 125 ( but I got it for lesser remember the discount on Nykaa.com)

My experience with Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Nail Lacquer 603

    Maybelline Glitter nail polish applied over plain black nail polish
                                          
As soon as you take a look at the glitter polish inside it will make you go weak in your knees. Maybelline never ceases to impress me, the first coat looked a bit dull but then second coat down voila! It looked really good. The consistency is slightly thick but it glides well on to the nails.
The glitter as they quoted does give a 3D effect and has a sand texture to it. On my other hand I experiment it over Maybelline color show blackout 220, this look absolutely gorgeous. It really works well as a top glitter coat also.

I'm sure fellow mommies know what goes on our daily routine, from cooking to endless tasks centered around your lil one its obvious that with these Herculean tasks to do, our nail polishes won't last for long. But that wasn't the case here; if you apply a top coat then the glitter polish stays on for days and is indeed chip resistant.

Pros of  Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Nail Lacquer 603

True to their claim it does have an amazing 3D look of the glitter once applied
Pricing is fair
8 to die for shades
Chip resistant and stays on almost a week when worn over a plain colour and a top coat.

Cons of Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Nail Lacquer 603

If you don't like you polish rough than the sand texture may not go well with your taste.
Not that glossy as they say it to be
It loses its sparkle after a few hours and tends to look a bit dull especially if worn without a top coat.
Be ready to use up a lot of nail polish remover to get off your nails, also it doesn't wipe off that easily, you will need a strong nail polish remover. 

Would recommend or buy again?

Yes, I will definitely buy it and the other 7 shades as well. It's a must have.
