Hey lovely ladies. A slightly late post from me tonight, but hey, it’s Friday! (My life is so wild…!). Maybelline are really starting to pick up on nail trends lately, firstly with the Color Show Street Artist Collection, and now with the Stripped Nudes Collection. I’m not personally a massive fan of nudes (I tend to be strongly of the colourful constitution!) but this polish caught my eye.

I don’t often see bronze glitter in mainstream nail varnishes so I had to try it. It’s a really nice rose-toned bronze too, not stark or harsh. I layered one coat over two coats of Ciaté Angel Wings.

Hey chickas. Today I’m sticking with the Maybelline Street Artist collection because Alley Attitude really wowed my pants off, so I just HAD to try this one! I have to admit, I wasn’t keen on this one in the bottle, but I felt like it might look pretty on the nail… so I picked it up anyway. I wasn’t disappointed!

My big challenge with this polish was finding the right ‘underwear’ to go with it. I didn’t fancy white or grey but that left a limited amount of colours that this polish would look nice with. I opted for bright pink in the end, so here I am showing 1 coat of Boom Box Black over 2 coats of Ciaté Kiss Chase.

Hey lovely ladies. The other week I showed you Maybelline White Splatter, one of the Maybelline Street Art (or Street Artist) nail polishes – I really love these! They are really simple glitter mixes but they are super effective for brightening up a manicure or making a plain polish look more interesting. I have been wearing this manicure all day today, and I’m loving it; it reminds me of birds’ eggs! So super cute 🙂

Lately I’ve really been getting into wearing glitters over plain colours (particularly pastels!) so here I’ve used one thick coat of Maybelline Alley Attitude over two coats of Ciaté Sugar Plum (told ya I’d use the Mini Mani Month up, didn’t I?!)

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 🙂

Hello chickas, sorry I’ve missed 2 days of blogmas! I promise I will do the full month, it might just have to run into January a little bit now. I do have a good reason for missing the last two days – I’ve been revising HARD for my driving theory test. I took it yesterday morning, and passed! 🙂 yay! And then I spent the rest of the day finishing off my Christmas shopping – before I knew it it was 10pm and my eyes wouldn’t stay open (probably because I only got 2.5 hrs sleep on Thursday night!). But I’m back today!

I’ve ogled these Maybelline Brocades for quite a while. I’ve now bought 3/4 – I haven’t bought Knitted Gold as it seems to be an almost-dupe of A England She Walks In Beauty, which I have. However, I was discussing this with Jemma of Puddleducks Nail Posts 🙂 and she said just what I was thinking… ‘let’s see how long it takes before you cave and buy it’! Am I really that predictable?! 😉
