Maybelline Color Show Nail Disaster

So this product immediately caught my eye when I first saw it. Its the most beautiful turquoise I have ever seen and I just had to have it on my nails at that very moment

In all fairness this product apply's nicely and smoothly with no bumps or clumpy bits. Its very much true to colour and looks great on the nails when its been freshly applied. So for a while I had absolutely no problem with this product. It's staying power was nice with little to no chipping after its first week of being applied to the nails. It was when it came to taking off the nail varnish with my regular nail varnish remover, that the problems began. 

As you can see below the nail varnish completely stained my nails with the colour making them go a vile greeny/ yellow color that I have yet to figure out how to remove.

 
I have decided to hide my nails from the population from further notice by applying a nail varnish over the top to hide all that stain. I also noticed after a while that the polish had not only stained my nails but it had also made them extremely dry and weak. I cannot review this product more poorly.

I have been a fan of Maybelline's products and I'm extremely disappointed in this situation I'm in. I will be thinking twice about purchasing any products from this brand again and be staying away from their nail varnishes entirely! 


Please comment telling me if you have had the same situation occur to you or anything similar so I can find out if its the products line or just a faulty defected product I obtained. Thank you for reading!

Battle of the Beauty Balms

Battle of the Beauty Balms: Revlon vs Bourjois


 Bourjois Color Boost in 02 Fuchia Libre 








Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipstain in 005 Crush 







Review 

Bourjois                                                                              

- Easy to apply (practically slides on)                                                                                                        
- Extremely moisturising as it has the idea of lipstain and lipbalm fused into one and has a gloss finish
- Vibrate colour on lips                                                                
- Faint underpowereing scent so will be less likely to give you a headache                                  
- Unfortunate bad colour pay off as I had to apply various coats to obtain a good colour                        - Not the 10 hour staying power it promises (I'd give it an hour at most)   

 7/10

Revlon   

- Tougher to apply onto lips than the Bourjois                                                                                           - Not very moisturising and lips become slightly dry after a while of using the product
- Nice colour on lips as on the container
- Powerful minty smell that could be overpowering however you can't smell it after you apply
- Much better colour pay off than the Bourjois and I only needed 2 coats of the product to obtain a full effect 
- Much better staying power I would say it could probably hold on for 7 to 8 hours including eating and drinking 

8/10


Overall winner = Revlon
