Maybelline Street Art White Splatter - Imagination In Colour

Maybelline Street Art White Splatter

Hey chickas, today I have a new glitter topcoat by Maybelline to show you. It’s from the Street Art collection (although on the bottle cap it says ‘Street Artist’). After hearing a few fellow nail addicts talking about these I had a little wonder in Superdrug. There seems to be four on offer here, although I’ve seen more selection in the US (as always!).

I am certain that Maybelline have been taking tips from indies. First there were the Polka Dots, and now there’s these glitter topcoats that look suspiciously indie-like! (If so, that’s fab for all of us indie makers!). What do you think? Today I have ‘White Splatter’ to show you 🙂

It’s a really really pretty combination and it works perfectly with most pastels. I chose to put one coat of White Splatter over two coats of Ciaté Pillow Fight (damn I love that Ciaté, I feel like a Ciaté slut but my affair is passionate and I just LOVE it).

Application:

The polish applied well – you do need to dab the glitter on a tiny bit as the bigger glitters can get dragged along by the brush, especially the bar glitter and giant hexes. However glitter density per brushload is just about perfect for one coat – you won’t need two. It will never be opaque but it does say on the lid that it’s a topcoat. I would recommend adding one coat of topcoat to protect the big bits of glitter (as they can easily get snagged because they tend not to lie totally flat on the nail) and to make it shine. It dries fairly quickly as long as you’re not overzealous with the dabbing – you can always add a second coat :). 

I really really like this topcoat. For some reason it makes me think of brands like Animal and Fat Face – they tend to use colours like these together quite a bit.

The Maybelline Street Art polishes cost £3.99 from Superdrug where they are currently on offer – will you be picking any up?
