I've been pleasantly surprised by Maybelline Color Show polishes. I often pick them up at the Dollar Tree or Big Lots, but occasionally I grab one at the drug store.
Maybelline Ultra Violet
This one is from the Dollar tree, but it's a pretty bright lavender pink that covers well in two coats.
They call it a "bleached neon" and I don't know when this collection came out, but I figure a spring or summer outing.
I really love this one. Very impressive.
I compared it to IBD's Cashmere Cutie

All are three coats, but two will do.
I think the IBD is a very nice polish, but dries a little bit more satin-like than the very glossy Maybelline..
I found IBD online at Nail Supplies and tried out a couple of bottles. This is a good formula. Worth looking into as it runs about the same as Maybelline when you factor in shipping. Since there aren't a ton of swatches and IBD is more known for its gel polishes, it doesn't have the swatches out there.
Though it seems like I am, I don't have to work too hard to tell you that it is a good brand and I've been pleasantly surprised by the ones I've tried.

Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
I searched on my Pinterest and these Bleached Neons were summer 2014...I never picked any up...but I sure will if I got lucky and found them at dollar store, big lots etc. I used to pick up these Color Shows a lot, not even sure if they are still in stores or just dollar/big lots these days?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I think I am so far behind on even when things show up at the Dollar Tree and Big lots, that it's so hard to be accurate!
