NOTD: Maybelline Colour Show - Superpower Blue

I have really been loving Maybelline's 'Colour Show' collection recently for so many reasons! Firstly, the colours themselves are so pretty and requires just ONE COAT to look fabulous - which is so rare. Also, I've noticed that they dry super fast and the quality is amazing too; they last many days without chipping and the colour doesn't seem to fade either.

 

Maybelline Colour Show - Superpower Blue (654)

 

I have always been a sucker for blue nail polishes and this lovely teal shade is stunning. It only required one coat but I applied two just because I always apply two coats no matter what! Like I've already said; the quality, the strength of colour and the speedy drying time is amazing. What shocks me the most is that this costs just £2.99 from Boots but it is on the same level as bigger, more expensive brands. I can't wait to buy more shades from the collection!

 

 

I recently blogged about a different nail polish from this collection too. Read it HERE

 

NOTD: Maybelline Colour Show & Technic

 

Maybelline Colour Show - 'Electric Yellow'

Technic - 'Carnival'

 

So today is officially the first day of summer and what better way to celebrate than to have (what i call) SUNSHINE NAILS! I've seen lots of girlies sporting the yellow nails look recently and I have been dying to try this out too so I purchased the Maybelline Colour Show nail polish in Electric Yellow.

 

I painted three coats of Electric Yellow on to my nails. With lighter nail polishes, it's best to always apply three coats so you can get the full benefit of the shade, without it looking faint or weak. On both of my ring fingers, I used Technic's 'Carnival' shade which is fun and glittery, but I chose to still keep it subtle by only applying it to one nail on each hand.

(UPDATE: Hi all! I'm pretty busy this week so am creating a few posts beforehand because I'd hate to leave my blog desolate while I'm away. So yeah, Sunday's post and this post are scheduled posts, written on Friday and Saturday evening - I'm so organised, just like I promised. I'm at a wedding all day Sunday, staying overnight and am busy the following day - most likely consisting of recovering from a disgusting hangover while chilling in a spa. On Tuesday, I'm travelling for an event with work, which also involves an overnight stay and then I'm working Thursday - gonna be super busy! I've got blogging ideas coming out of my ears at the moment; I've shared some in the 'Coming soon' section of my blog but I've got plenty more up my sleeve.)

 

 

I am absolutely loving this nail polish at the moment! It's a true British shade: pillarbox red, but with a slight hint of rose pink. The flash on my camera makes it look a lot more pink that it actually is... Oh and, please excuse my messy thumb! I hadn't tidied it up yet. On top of this, I used the Nail Inc Top Coat to ensure that the colour stays on for as long as possible, without chipping and it has given it a lovely shine too.
