Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish - #370 Shocking Seas


I was recently at the grocery store picking up some items that we needed at home, but I couldn't resist going to the cosmetics aisle.  I was looking for a teal or turquoise color so that I could polish my nails for my son's football game this week.  I looked at several different brands, but ultimately went with the Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in color #370 - Shocking Seas.  The color was just perfect and would serve my purpose.  My son's football team colors are black, teal and white.  I tried it on one nail just to see what it looked like on compared to some others.  It was the perfect shade and would go along with the school colors.  I really liked the color.  At first, I thought it was going to be a little to bold for me, but it grew on me. 

This nail polish was not streaky.  I did use 2 coats when using on my hand nails.  This made it a little darker than if you only use 1 coat.  This nail polish did take quite a while to dry.   I did not have much flaking at all.  It only started to flake after taking showers and washing dishes.  I polished my nails very quickly, so I am going to give it another go really soon.  This particular product/brand will be purchased again.  I definitely think it is worth the price.  They have a pretty big selection of colors in the type of nail polish.  My friends and family will be hearing about this product and hopefully, they will go out and get some.

I will post some pics of my nails polished in this color in the near future.  There were no pictures for me to share today because I didn't take any this time around.  Once my nails are polished in this color again, I will take some pictures immediately.  I will probably just post the pictures in another blog post separate from this one.

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish - Metal Icon

 
 
 
I just recently purchased this nail polish in a local grocery store (H.E.B.).  They had an in store coupon for $2 off, so I only paid around $2.50 for it.  I really liked the color and it has some shimmer to it.  My son said that this was a good color for me over two other colors that I was contemplating over and over.  The brand is Maybelline New York.  It is the Color Show Nail Lacquer Limited Edition in Metal Icon.
 
You definitely have to use at least two or three coats when using this polish.  Also, it does take quite a while to dry.  As soon as I thought they were dry, I was trying to take the memory card out of my camera, and I scraped my nail while doing that.  I looked at my nail and wouldn't you know it, a piece of the polish was gone from the nail.  Put all of that aside, and it is a nice color.  I am going to try it again when I have more time.  I think it is worth the price, and I will probably purchase it again because I like some of the other colors that are available.
