As much as I loved the blue version of Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dot polish - Shooting Stars - review link the green version Rain Forest Canopy has failed to impress me. Don't get me wrong the formula is faultless particularly when layered over a similar toned nail colour - it applies well and dries quickly not to mention it is wonderful for hiding chips. However having said that the colour of Rain Forest Canopy is a little blah and not at all what I had hoped for.
Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dot Rain Forest Canopy is a deep turquoise base in which various sizes of matte "glitter" chunks are suspended within. In the case of Rain Forest Canopy the "glitter" is white and black which does give a nice enough effect but I do find the base colour a little too deep for my personal taste. As with all of the Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dot range Rain Forest Canopy is sheer so you have the option of wearing it alone or layering it over another polish - I choose the latter and layered it over Essie Turquoise and Caicos.
I may not be a fan of textured nail polishes or any of the new fancy nail art inspired options that seem to be two a penny but I do have to give kudos to Maybelline for creating a quartet of shades that do add a funky finish to the nails. For £2.99 the Maybelline Color Show Polka Dot polishes are a quick and easy way to update your nails but I warn you now they are a nightmare to remove.

Random Fact - Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down - hence the expression "to get fired"

I bought this yesterday (along with Chalk Dust, which I LOVE! Currently wearing it over Models Own neon purple polish.) I think these are great and not a bad price at all.
ReplyDeleteThese are so unusual, tempted to buy a couple but knowing that they're so difficult to remove puts me off!

ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love this nail polish. I hope I can find it, it'll make a great stocking stuffer this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe effect reminds me of art paint splatters - in a good way. :D
ReplyDeleteI got this nail polish as a gift...I like it in 2 layers, buuuut and this is a big problem for me...I work with a PC, no tablet or touch screen, and the nail polish is already chipped on 4 nails. and I've done my manicure yersteday evening.
