Maybelline Salon Expert Nail Color

This is a beautiful color. It looks pinkish peach in the bottle but once applied it's a soft pearlescent pink. It's very runny but applies very smoothly. In order to get a nice opaque look you need at least three coats. But for a very pretty sheer look one or two coats looks gorgeous.

This is a very soft and pretty color, especially for a wedding or springtime. It's very pearlescent and almost frosted. This looks stunning on both hands and feet. It dried fairly quickly but I did notice a chip on my first day of wearing it. So it might not last all that long on your hands.

I am a huge fan of muted dusty neutral nail colours and have a really hard time walking past them in the shops. This is a neutral warm pinky-rosy beige cream colour. It kind of looks like the extention of your fingers - but just a tad pinkier (at least on my hands). Very work appropriate and classy. It has a bit of a band-aid plaster tint to it but slightly darker. Opaque in 2 coats - definitely needs a top coat for shine. The brush is squarish, its ok but doesn't really improve the application. It wears well on my Essie Protein base coat - I get about 5 days of chip free wear. If you see this on sale - check it out. I recommend it! You can see it on my nails in my nail photo album.

I am enjoing this polish and am already half way though the bottle. It is a beautiful burgundy fine shimmer in a black base. This combination gives the polish beautiful depth. It is dark, rich but easily distinguished brom black whether in the sun or not. It is so gorgeous. In the sun all the fine shimmer comes to play.

It has a slightly squarish brush. I don't mind it but I wouldn't say it makes applying so much easier. I think the polish is slightly more prone to chipping but using a top coat definitely prolongs the wear. I get 4 days out of it before any signs of chipping. The pigmentation is amazing - complete and full coverage with 2 coats (it can even be worn in 1 coat).

This polish gets a tad bit thicker as you go along and the shimmer also seems thick to start with (it is not chunky but just feels like there is a lot of it. It can easily be corrected with a nail polish thinner (note - you shouldn't use acetone as it destroys the texture and even colour) I really recommend this polish - it is great for the price.
