Maybelline Color Show Polka Dot Rain Forest Canopy Nail Polish

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.
