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!

Mariah Carey Liquid Sand Nail Polish Review 


This christmas I received, as a stocking filler, the mariah carey liquid sand collection. The name first threw me, as I couldn't understand why I could possibly want my nails to feel like sand.



When I first tried on the colour Baby please come home, the more silver glittery one of the three I was pleasantly surprised. The colour made my nails stand out from my skin tone. Then as it dried I realised what the company meant by "liquid sand'. My nails felt rough but not uncomfortably. On the first day I was especially impressed and boasted how much I liked the product.

As the next two days passed I changed in opinion  completely.The photo to the left shows how
much the polish had gone from my nails and I'm usually not prone to chipping. The sand feeling on my nails left over night and it felt like the polish was simply disintegrating  from my nails. And the colour was no longer as shiny and sparkly as it once was. Over all I have to give the product a 3/10 it could have scored a lot higher if it was better formulated .
