NOTD Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Color in Surrel

I've been after the perfect cornflower blue shade of nail polish for a while.  Nothing I've seen as quite been what I was looking for.  Now I've not actually tried or looked at any of the Maybelline polishes before and was actually only looking through their Colour Show range and just happened to spot this gorgeous shade in their Gel Nail Color range.  The shade is just the perfect blue.

The polish applies easily and smoothly in two coats.  I was left with a lovely glossy finish after two coats.  This is the second gel polish I've tried - the first being Rimmel's Kate Moss range (will try and get a review up shortly on that one) and I have to say I love the way they go on.  I find that their application is just very easy and even if you feel it's looking a little streaky as it dries the end result isn't.  Now it's states 7 days strong and in the picture above, I was at 3 days and you can see a little chip on my thumb, and there's been a little tip wear but nothing like I would usually expect by Day 3.  Can easily see this staying on through to Sunday - which is a definite bonus when you work full time.  It's much easier to apply a polish on a Sunday night for the week.  I've spied a deliciously looking Berry shade and a gorgeous Green that I need to try out next!

Maybelline Rose Dream

Hey,

This post is on a product that I am disappointing in. I picked this up on a recent trip to Morrisons. They had a basket full of reduced items and I though why not give it a go for £2.55, these normally retail at £7.19 in Boots.

This is Rosy Dream from the Colour sensational range.The packaging is cute and the colour is sort of a pale blue toned pink, a bit bubblegum pink. It has a sheer consistency in the swatch below but came out a lot more pigmented on the lips. Also on the hand swatch it seems glittery but again on the lips its different.
My main issue with this is that it shows up all my imperfection on my lips i.e any dry patches etc :(

Though I have seened reviews out there stating that this a great bubblegum pink so maybe I am just being picky with it.

Have you tried this? Are you a fan of Maybelline Colour Sensation lippies?

Thanks

K
