Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish Hooked on Pink

     When Maybelline announced the launch of Color Show nail paints it created such a frenzy in the atmosphere. They were launching 40 shades in different textures priced at a mere Rs. 75/- From mattes to metallic and from shimmers to bold neon, this launch has something from everyone. It has gained such a huge popularity in such a short time that some shades are going out of stock on the counters. Imagine that! I don’t think I have heard of something like that happening with another brand apart from MAC limited edition collection.

     I was sent 2 shades from the PR of the company and a 3rd one was gifted to me by my friend Sharmi. I will be reviewing them one by one. Taking the bright pink shade first. The bottle is less than 2 inches tall where a little over half is transparent glass and the cap is black with the name printed in white. The shade name is given on the top of the cap.

     The brush that comes with it is standard ie how you get in other paints. Hooked on pink is a dark pink shade almost a fuschia. The formulation is a little thick and one coat gives an opaque coverage while a 2nd coat provides a neater finish. I put this on an hour before I went to bed but by morning I had some marks on the surface. I got fraying on the tip by the 4th day and noticeable chipping by the 6th. This has amazing staying power and I was blown away by it.

     All in all for just 75 bucks for 6 ml it is a great deal and the amazing variety of colors and finishes available is just cherry on the top. Maybelline has many variants of their Color Show line abroad and I hope that they find their way out here soon. They have been releasing some interesting stuff and this one is a sure winner 🙂 But like the finishes the formula ie thickness of the product also varies. There are at least 3 more shades that I have my eye on from the line and hopefully will be picking them up soon.
