Maybelline Color Show #400 Polish Review




MAYBELLINE NEW YORK
COLOR SHOW
#400 PEDAL TO THE METAL


Pedal to the Metal is a super bright shimmery silver that looks fantastic! It took about 4 coats to get complete coverage. Because it took 4 coats drying time did take a little longer, but it wasn't too bad. I wish it would have been more opaque, but with being sheer it has way more possibilities. 


I noticed that on the first coat it started out thicker on the bottom and then got more sheer towards the top. The wheels immediately started turning and I can totally see the possibilities of some match-ups. Anyway, the drying time for each individual coat was pretty average at a 1-2mins, just to make sure it was completely dry. It wasn't thick at all and did go on really easily, which was a first for me. I've noticed that a lot of the metallic polishes have a different consistency than non-metallic. I have had issues with bubbles and streaks with others, not so with "Pedal to the Metal".


The price was pretty affordable at about $3.99 at Walgreens and if you want to join in on the metallics bandwagon then this is a good one. Its so pretty and I really loved it. So head out and get your own bottle before the bandwagon leaves you behind.


How do you like my little nail art? I bought some nail art tape and wow its super hard to use! I think the blue goes great with the bright silver though and I'll be pairing them up again. Hopefully next time I'll do a better job of it.

Maybelline Color Show #240 Review



BEAUTY CORNER REVIEWS
MAYBELLINE COLOR SHOW
#240 TWILIGHT RAYS





This is the first Color Show polish I've gotten but it definitely won't be the last. It is called Twilight Rays, it is a black polish with gold glitter. The red glitter you see is what I added later to try and get more color. The glitter comes out looking a bit green though, even though its gold. It took about three coats to get really good coverage. I think maybe putting it on a "thicker" black would help make it more opaque. It was about $4.99 at the store which makes it on the more affordable end. I really liked it and it totally fits in with the rest of my black polishes. Love it, a definite for Halloween!
