Spring Nails
The ice caps in Finland are slowly but surely starting to melt and I'm officially calling it - Spring is on its way! I for one can't wait. As well as taking to inappropriately dressing for the weather, I've also amped up my naildrobe with these pretty in pink shades from Maybelline. There's a pearlescent, sugary pink called Porcelain (78) and deep nude named, Rose Poudre (130). They hail from the Forever Strong Superstay 7 Days Gel collection, (mouthful...) and are the newest additions to my slowly expanding set of Maybelline gel polishes.
When it comes to chips, I like mine with cheese and most certainly not on my nails. Since gel nail polishes hit the market, I've been raking them in as there's nothing worse than a mani that doesn't last. I think Maybelline's '7 Days' is a bit ambitious. I'd say I get around 5 solid days before the pesky chips start to rear their ugly heads, but that being said, I really love these polishes. They're apparently enriched with iron and calcium which reminds me ever so slightly of a baby milk advert but that's neither here nor there. The wide brush makes application a doddle and despite it not quite lasting the whole 7 days, this polish does hold its own, even after several bumps and bruises, and give me gorgeous, salon-esque nails to die for.
I've worn both of these shades separately and together with Porcelain layered over the top of Rose Poudre. Porcelain can be a bit of a temperamental diva and needs a couple of coats and gentle coaxing; however the payoff is totally worth the pain. Rose Poudre applies like a dream and is such a soft and delicate polish - An absolute winner for Spring.
What do you think of these polishes? Have you started to bust out your Spring naildrobe yet and are you looking forward to the warmer months?
I love this range of Maybelline nail polishes and have 5 different shades :) I like the look of these two you have! x

I highly recommend them. They're great x
DeleteThey both look like such beautiful colours <3 xo
ReplyDeleteThey are :) xx
DeleteI need to try this range because 5 days wear is long for me, I usually get like 2 days and it puts me off painting my nails in the first place. Porcelain looks beautiful even if it is a diva x

Ahh, Alina you do! I'm usually a, 'chips in an hour' kinda girl and I got so lazy with painting my nails. This stuff is really good though - I'd definitely recommend x
DeleteI love Rose Poudre and the formula in these polishes is really great. They last about 5-7 days on my nails and they have such a great colour range. x
