Maybelline Color
Show ~ Blue Freeze
Midnight blue
with subtle purple shimmer
This is the second Color
Show polish from Maybelline that I got from Katee from "A Girl and her Polish" in a swap, and that I’ve tried on. The first one was “Styled out”, which had an amazing formula. The formula of Blue Freeze wasn’t quite
as fantastic. After the first coat I felt like “meh”, and kinda mentally gave
up on this polish. The second coat sorted all doubts out though – the depth
increased amazingly and the shimmer looked great. The purple shimmer in the
bottle didn’t transfer to the nails though, but hey, it’s still a pretty
midnight blue. Here’s what it looks like on:
Then I grabbed “Silver Rain”
from Sephora. It’s a clear base with holographic bars in. I applied a coat of
that onto the Blue Freeze. The formula of the Sephora is thick and gloopy and
the bars need to be pushed around on the nail, and sometimes it even takes an
effort to make them even leave the brush. And the drying time was a killer.
Half an hour later it was still tacky. That’s simply a no go for me. I’m way
too impatient to wait that long for nail polish to dry!
But anyway, here’s what it
looked like. I wear no top coat on the pic:
Do you like it best with or
without the bar glitters?
Do you own any polishes from
this Maybelline collection?

I love it with these glitters! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, glitters are essential in my stash :)
DeleteI like both versions - but that bar glitter really is terrific!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of the glitter too, but I didn't like working with it at all :D
DeleteSuper fint, begge versioner! Kan bare ikke bestemme mig for, om jeg kan li bar glitter eller ej :)
ReplyDeleteJeg er heller ikke 100% sikker endnu, men den her er en af dem, som jeg indtil videre bedst har kunnet lide :)
DeleteI like both version, but I totally go for the glitter ones. I love the bar shaped glitters.
ReplyDeleteI own only two Maybelline polishes from the mini Colorama line and they are great :)
It's so nice to hear that :) I've know Maybelline for quite a while, but I never really got into them before now :)
DeleteI like it both alone and with glitter! :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodie! The glitter kinda made it look like a funny version of the night sky :)
DeleteI love such combinations (in a "night sky" style :))) )
DeleteMe too. Perhaps I should have thrown a star or two on it as well :D
Deleteoh, yes! :)
DeleteI could wear it alone. Very pretty and it's my kind of blue. The bar glitter really makes it sparkle though!
ReplyDeleteI could easily imagine you with that colour nails! :)
DeleteAnd I *love* sparkles :D
I really like this polish. I also think bar glitters add a nice touch to any dark polish - especially blue and purple :D ♥
ReplyDeleteYes! And we *like* blue and purple a lot! :D ♥
Deleteomg i love the glitter!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteHey I've been thinking about a polish with bar holo glitter! I'm buying this one right now! Have been seeing ads for this new brand of polish and wondering if it's as great as they say! I love this mani
ReplyDeletePs I can't find this polish. Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteOf course I can. Have you got access to Sephora shops? Otherwise please let me know, I can get it for you!
Deleteooh, i like the bar glitters...you don't see that too often!

That's right :) This is also the only bar glitter topper I own. :)
DeleteI love it with the bar glitters! It's a shame they were such a pain to work with because they're seriously dazzling. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, it did spice up the blue, didn't it?! :D
