Review: Maybelline Color Show The Blushed Nudes - 447 Dusty Rose

Hey Beauties!

Our weather seems more like it's fall rather than spring. But I just can't wait for more sun and pretty flowers outside my window. My mentality is already in spring and so are my purchases. In Austrian DM I found one of Maybelline Color Show limited edition's called The Blushed Nudes. In the edition are 4 colored polishes and one glittery top coat. They are all in that mauvy shade range. I chose pastel pink lavender shade, because it seemed the most unique.


Nail polish comes in their usual glass bottle with black top. In it is 7 ml of product and it costs 2.95€


This range has a very pretty lace design on the top. Nice touch.


It has a standard straight cut brush, which is just the right width. 


The formula of Color Show nail polishes is in general a bit more creamy and a bit more opaque. Colorama I find very thin and almost a bit transparent, so I prefer Color Show range, which of course we don't have in Slovenia. 

As with most light nail polish shades, you'll need two coats to completely cover the nail. It dries fairy quick and this range usually lasts well on my nails. For about 3 - 4 days, which is a lot for my weak nails.

Shade 447 Dusty Rose almost looks like dirty light pastel pink, but with a touch of lavender. Unique shade in my collection.




I love this shade so much and want to wear it again and again. It's just a really pretty pastel nude dirty pink. It's also not too warm nor too cool. I just wish Maybelline would start selling Color Show nail polishes in our country. Those are one of my favorite drugstore nail polishes. 

Review: Maybelline Color Show nail polishes (677 Blackout, 549 Midnight Taupe)

Hey Beauties!

I have mentioned that I love Maybelline nail polishes, especially because they seem to stay really well on my nails. When I had the chance to grab some from their Color Show, I went for two classic shades, that I know I'll wear a lot.


Both nail polishes contain 7 ml of nail polish and each costs 2.99 €, but I got it for 2.39€. I didn't know the Color Show nail polishes had a name. That is so refreshing and better to remember. 



677 Blackout is a regular pitch black nail shade. It's really opaque with just one coat. It's also a bit thicker in consistency, but I love that. The application was really nice. They have the regular nail brushes and I especially liked that I didn't need to put on two coats.




549 Midnight Taupe is dark taupe (brown grey) shade, which is very nice classic shade in my opinion. This one is a lot thinner than the black one and you'll definitely need at least two coats


I usually apply one thin coat and then the second very thick coat. It's not the most even application, because that would require three coats, but I just don't like to have too many coats on. If this one would be as opaque as black, it would be perfect. 



Well, I at least found my perfect black nail polish. I can't say I'm overly excited about the taupe shade, but it still looks really nice, it just takes a bit more work. They are both pretty long lasting on me, but then I do really like the lasting power of all Maybelline nail polishes. The price is also not bad at all. Now I just wish Color Show range would also be available in Slovenia.

Do you have any of the Color Show nail polishes? Which shade is your favorite?
