Chip Free Nail Color, Straight from the Shows
The Official Nail Color of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York
Long lasting nail polish

No chip color nail laquer straight from the shows. Easy-flow brush. Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free.

First apply a clear base coat to prevent your nails from yellowing and to help your nail color last longer. With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish up the center of your nail starting from the base to the tip. For the cleanest look, be sure to leave a small space at the base of the nail. Then apply nail color to the rest of the nail.

Liiieeessss

Chip free... hmm. Long lasting... ah. Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t find these claims to ring true at all. This range has done lovely colours, and the wand makes it very easy to apply. I found this range to be great for nail art as the mixture isn’t gloopy, but not too runny either. The results were shiny and glossy and gorgeous, but unfortunately not very long lasting. I could go maybe 3 hours trying to be extra careful before I noticed a chip. After about a day or two I would see the edges fading away to reveal my natural nail. Great fun but I’ve actually found longer lasting nail polishes at the $2 shops..

Colour Show Nail Polish

I have a few of these! The darker colours are really good and I don’t feel they need two coats but the light colours definitely need two coats. I’d rate them a 3 out of 5 because the light colours let them down with having to do more layers. I found on my nails they normally chipped around day 2 but on my toe nails lasted a lot longer! They have a range of pretty colours and I’d happily pick up more darker ones if I saw them on special

Maybelline Colour show Nail Laquer

My nails are always painted so I like a laquer to be honest and good. This one comes in a cute round bottle with a good brush. I followed the directions and applied a clear coat and then the laquer. I always apply at least two coats and then I will apply a clear coat, to give the laquer a great shine and also to protect the colour. I found after the first day of wear it chipped which was really dissapointing as I like to think I can get at least 3 good days out of an application. For this reason I will not be repurchasing this brand of nail laquer again.

Nothing to Rave About

I'm glad I received the Maybelline Colour Show Nail Lacquer free in a goodie bag, because this polish isn't something I'd want to spend money on. While the colour was gorgeous (Burgundy Kiss, a very dark red) and applied well, it didn't last particularly long. It also did that annoying red-nail polish thing when I went to take it off where your nail ends up stained around the edges. Maybelline is also involved in animal testing, which isn't great. So overall I'd skip buying these polishes in future, and opt for something of better quality and with better ethics :)

Needs improving

I have this product in black and white. When I apply this to my nails, I have to have at least apply 3 coats for it to look pigmented. If I were to use one coat it would look see through but have a little bit of color. The pigmentation is not so great and that is an important thing for nail polishes. It lasts for about 5 days without chipping I would say depending on how many coats you apply to your nail. It wastes a lot of product each time you use it. And it is well overpriced for the size.

Formula needs improvement

When I ordered a box from beast beauty boxes I got the I love Nails box. I loved this box. Inside it was Marihno which is a dark blue and Show me the Green which is a beautiful teal color. This was my first time trying this range out.

The bottle is clear so you can see the colour inside of it. The brush is basic . There's nothing special about it. The formula is very thin. It has a strong chemical nail polish like most nail lacquers. On first application it's very thin. To get good colour pay off I do about 3 coats of colour and two coats of clear coat. I got two days wear of it. I like to get up to four to five days wear with standard polish.

Overall I think the formula needs more pigmentation. It is overpriced and could be under five dollars. I didn't enjoy this one. I won't be repurchasing this line anytime soon. I prefer the maybelline gel range.

Maybelline colour show

I have the Maybelline New York colour show in Pinkalicious. I received it for free when I bought the Maybelline BB cream and powder. The shade is a very pretty pink, quite a dark colour. It's in a small clear bottle with a black lid, the writing on it is in silver, looks cute and gives it a nice touch. The brush is nice and easy to hold and the nail polish glides on my nails smoothly. It's actually quite a thick polish, one coat looks great. The formula has very small sparkles in it and it has a nice shiny look to it. I love it how it drys really fast and is easy to apply. I would purchase again.

In love

I love that with this polish you can see the colo in the first coat, unlike most of the polish I have tried where it takes normally 2 or 3. When they are on sale it's a bigger bonus, Kmart had them for $4. It doesn't seem to streak but more blend together again meaning less need for extr coat to balance it out. I like the size of the lid as it makes it easy to grip onto when painting.

Chiffon Chic

I have Maybelline Colour Show Nail Lacquer in Chiffon Chic (#160) and it's a pretty, bubblegum pink. Maybelline claim that it's "no chip" but it does chip eventually, after about 5 days wear (and a lot of keyboard typing).

The nail polish is packaged in a simple, cylindrical glass bottle with a matching black cylindrical lid with the "easy-flow" brush attached. I think this brush to be a little on the skinny side which makes painting nails a little more difficult. Instead of 3 strokes to cover the nail, I sometimes have to use four.

I applied a quick-drying clear base coat before using Chiffon Chic, as I didn't want the red tones in the pink polish to stain my natural nails, turing them yellow. A base coat will help your polish to glide on easier and it helps it last longer, too.

Depending on how much typing I need to do, this polish lasts 3-5 days on my nails before showing signs of wear, cracks or chips. On my toes, it lasts 3 - 4 weeks, with no chipping.

I love that this polish is 3-free: Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free.

Would I purchase it again? Possibly, unless a better formula comes along before I need to replace this bottle. Would I recommend it? Yes, it's a good quality nail lacquer, its just a pity about the thin brush.

Tips: Use a quick-drying base coat and a good quality top coat for a long-lasting finish.

Yes, yes, yes!

One thing that's is difficult to find with nail polishes are ones that last, don't streak and won't chip. Ones that you don't need to apply several layers to get a good coverage. This product has it all.

Great coverage. Upon applying the formula is really pigmented! 3 swipes over my nail with this and my nail was covered nicely and not streaky. I didn't nèd to go over them again to get a colour build up.

I had the colour on my nails for a good week before I noticed sign of general wear. It didn't chip and It didn't peel. I didn't find I needed a base coat or a top coat. This stuff had great lasting power on its own and drys really quick once applied.

The bottle is cute and simple. Clear see through glass so you can see the product and a black lid. Twist the lid open and on the end is a small brush. It is a little bit little compared to other nail polishes but I didn't find It hard too use.

I got my colour power red from my mum for my birthday and love it. I will definitely pick up more of these when I see them and need them.
