Chic pink

Took a long break didn't I?

Although I haven't really gone anywhere I've just been lazy to post. 

Instagram seems quite convenient as compared to blogging and I see most bloggers happily taking to that. But as most of them I too still love my blog more so let's keep it alive.

Here's a mani I did a few months ago.

Base: Miss Claire A18 (that's the name they gave this pretty shade). It seems to have become my go to favourite for a bright pink.

Accent fingers: Maybelline All that Glitters from their glitter mania range.

Stamping plate: OB38 stamped with maybelline bold gold. 

The studs are from born pretty store.

Trying to finish my backlog of unposted manis here's one I did. But am not fond of it. Something about the combo put me off.

While I love the glitter top coat called Pride by 27 polish. Bought this a couple years ago from their etsy store. I think the  yellow stamping on grey base didn't turn out as I imagined.

Base: china glaze white out and recycle

Glitter top coat: Pride by twenty seven polish.

Stamping polish: konad yellow

Stamping plate: BM 201

All topped with SV.

First impression: Maybelline Glitter Mania Nail Polish

Hi, 

I got quite excited to see that Maybelline was finally launching some of their exciting range of polishes here in India. Although I had hoped I would be able to see their polka dot collection first but they released the glitter mania range. These are also knows as Sequins in US and UK. 

*warning: Rant Ahead* 

There has been no PR info from the brand on these other than some event they had held today for a few bloggers. Curiosity got the better of me and I headed to my fav shop in the neighbourhood knowing it was too soon for them to have it already... But they had!!! sometimes these PR people can be quite funny. They chase nail bloggers to review beauty products but won't contact a nail blogger for a nail polish release. Eeessssh!! Ok. rant over!

Here's my first impression of this range. There are 8 shades in this range. 

Gold, Silver, pinkish-red, lavender, champagne pink, periwinkle blue, dark purple, darker pink and a black with silver glitter.

These are not actual names of the shades. Remember there was no PR info.

I bought 2 of them. Champagne pink and  Bling on the Blue. 

 

(Pics without topcoat)

These are not textured polishes. They are densely packed with micro glitter and small silver hex glitter. So you will feel a gritty texture which can be smoothed out by a top coat. 

I have applied one medium coat and dabbed in a few places where the brush seemed to remove polish. The polish applies smooth but it seems to clump on the brush..hence need to dab a bit. It's slightly sheer and you can see the nail line in some pics. I think 2 coats would make it quite opaque.

Bling on Blue: is a periwinkle blue micro glitter with small silver hex glitter. 

Champagne Pink: it's a light pink micro glitter with small silver hex glitters.

Will update on the staying power when they start to chip.

 

Price: Rs.125/-

I think they are good at this price but I wish they had more shades in this range.

 Would have loved to see a pure ruby red and turquoise blue in this range.

Are you buying them?
