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?
