Maybelline Colour Show Nail Lacquer The Sequins Line Review

I got given one of these polishes as a gift and while I was skeptical about it in the bottle, I found it looked really nice on my nails.

I got a really gorgeous silver holographic glitter polish. The bottle is just normal, a small glass one with black top, and the brush is short and stubby. I found that this polish looked nice to top off my other polishes, but you can also just apply two coats and it will be pretty much opaque. It lasted a decent amount of time on me, almost a week (with base and top coat) which was impressive.

If you're looking for a cheap sequin-holo nail polish, give these a try! You can use them in different ways and the effect is just so pretty.

This nail polish is great! I've used glittery/ sequin lacquers in the past that have been difficult to get a even coverage on the nail, but this one works perfectly. It looks stunning on and is easy to apply, it doesn't go all chunky and it has enough sequins in it that you can use it on its own without needing a colour base underneath. It is difficult to remove because of all the sequins but I find all nail polishes like this are much the same to remove like this. I love using this to make a feature nail.

I have all four of the nail polishes in this collection and I can say that they definitely live up to their name. It really is like you are wearing sparkly sequins on your nails, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about trying these nail polishes because a lot of glitter polishes I have tried look fabulous in the bottle, but when you end up putting on your nail its only speckled with the glitter. Well, I can safely say that that's not the case with these nail polishes. You only need to apply two coats and your nails are well and truly covered in the sparkly goodness. When I look closer at the tiny particles I can actually see that the hexagonal shapes are in fact 3D. God knows how they managed to get those tiny pieces of glitter 3D, but it sure works and makes your nails look amazing. Any light that catches your nails reflects against the glitter pieces and makes your nails look like you're waving sequins around. I personally love wearing these nail polishes over another colour or using it on a feature nail. The only downside is that its really hard to remove, but that comes with any glitter polish you buy. Overall, I would definitely recommend these polishes if you are a big glitter fan. It's definitely not a polish to use if you want a subtle look.

I have this in a beautiful royal blue, and I love how the colour of the polish doesn't dull the glitter. Wears well and i like that I dont have to add a shimmery or glittery polish over top to get a bit of bling! Also i spilled half a bottle of this on the carpet and it came out with acetone like magic!

I have this in silver, it's a very sparkly glitter speckled lacquer with some bigger round bits through it. The consistency isn't great as it builds up quite thick on the surface of the nail if you're trying to acheive full coverage, 3-4 coats are needed in this case which makes it really stubborn to remove! Wearing this lacquer quite thick it was chipping off within a day although if i apply it more sparingly i find that it chips less. I like it, it's pretty and has a unique little twist to it although i probably won't buy it again as it's not as hard wearing as i would like.

I have the multicolored sequins and the blue. They are really good looking on with a really interesting statement for your nails. However I did find that it took about 3 to 4 coats before the sequins were think enough to cover the whole nail.

What can I say, I am a sucker for glittery nail polishes! I have this nail polish in three colours: Rose Bling, Sea-Quins and Silver Gleam.

I really like this range - but its quality is dependent on the colour! I LOVE the silver glitter: it is thick and super sparkly and all around awesome. The turquoise and rose on the other hand are quite a bit thinner.

In regards to the range as a whole, I like the colours; all are quite neutral in their own way and go with a lot of different nail polish colours. I find they reasonably last without chipping if you use a top coat. They do not smell horribly and they go on smoothly. More importantly, I find they remove (with nail polish remover) easier than other glitter brands which can often be a rigmarole to get off your nails.

I like the packaging. They are a good size bottle which lasts a good while. It is a different looking bottle which makes it easy to pick out of my collection.

Finally this range works really well for statement nails or for glittery tips! Overall, I really do like these glitters - however their quality and thickness of glitter depends on the colour. If you like a full on glitter then I would suggest the silver glitter over the colours.

I picked up a couple of these from the chemist for a crazy $4.99. I'm definitely going back for more because they have such a gorgeous range of colours. This is the type of nail polish to go for if you're a bit like me and you're unsure of how certain nail polish will look on you, for different reasons such as skin tone, hair colour etc. I like to play it safe, and sparkly nail polish is definitely the way to go for me. The sparkle takes the attention away from the colour, and fortunately for us, it lets us experiment with different sparkly shades. With the maybelline range, it's impossible to get wrong. It's easy to apply, and easy to take off (if you wish you remove it). And it doesn't take ages to dry. And with all nail polish, they all have an incredibly over powering scent, especially the Revlon range, whereas the Maybelline range have somehow managed to take the scent down a notch or two, and that's a big bonus for me.

I have Sequins (a turqoise green with matching glitter) and Twilight Rays (black with gold micro glitter). Going on these two alone, I dont hold out much hope for the rest of the nail polishes. These look AMAAAAZING in the bottle, but mehhhh on your nails. They are both deceivingly transparent, you cant tell that from looking at the bottles, all you see it gorgeous colour. I dont have a turquoise polish I could use as a basecoat for the Sequins, but I ended up applying 2 coats and a top coat to seal. I also used a black base under the Twilight Rays polish and a clear top coat. They dont last long on their own. Does anyone have any good opaque colours they could recommend? I would give these a solid 4/10
