Maybelline: Skyline Blue

Maybelline: Skyline Blue

Blue tinted base with blue, silver and holographic glitters

"Skyline Blue" is a sister to "Purple Dazzle" that I showed you yesterday. I used three coats to make "Purple Dazzle" opaque, so I decided to layer "Skyline Blue" over a dark blue shimmer for a prettier look.

So I applied one coat of Golden Rose's Matte Velvet #104. It is a gorgeous dark blue matte velvet shimmer. The drying time of that was good. Then I applied one layer of the glitter "Skyline Blue" and I loved the look of that.

Then I made three wavy lines on each nails. I used two Color Club polishes for that: "Crystal Baller", which is an amazing blue linear holo and what I think is "Kapow!", a beautiful neon pink with shimmer. It has lost its label, but I'm guessing it's "Kapow!" :D

Here's the final look, including a layer of gel-look topcoat; the kind of topcoat that doesn't need to be cured under a lamp.

I think this is really pretty.

This is "Skyline Blue"; one layer over a Golden Rose Matte Velvet #104. Isn't that just pretty?

Here are the polishes I used today.

Golden Rose Matte Velvet #104, Maybelline Skyline Blue, Color Club Kapow! and Crystal Baller

I honestly love this polish so much more than I would have done if I hadn't layered it. I think it's way prettier over a coloured base than on its own.

Number of coats: 1 over a coloured base
Drying time: Good

Finish: Tinted base with glitter
Overall impression: Really pretty glitter, really sheer base
