Colour
I have the Maybelline ColourShow nail polish in Mauve Kiss (shade 150), which is a nude, beige shade. It is my favourite shade as it is so neutral and matches with any outfit.
Packaging
Nothing extra special out the bottle but it is nice and clean and simple. It has a medium size brush for fast application with little streaking and mess .
Application & Effect
This is a fast drying nail polish and really does dry in 60 seconds.
2 coats is enough for great colour. And no top coat is needed with this.
It has a medium shine once dry, not too glossy but not matte. I will definitely try the metallic shades though, they look great!
Longevity
Its fairly long wearing, lasts about 5-7 days, depending how much you work with your hands. Its mostly chip resistant .
Price
It retails for about R40 so its really affordable, especially compared to other make up brand nail polishes!
It takes a lot for me to REALLY LOVE a nail polish, as there are just so many of them out there and most of them lasts the same amount of time on me. Three days is my limit for a nail polish to last and I am still in search for that perfect nail polish.
This polish was no different. Lasts 3 days before it starts chipping away.
But!
I really like this polish.
The brush makes for very easy application, the colour payoff is really good and this range has a HUGE range of colours to suit everyone's needs.
This is a product I will definitely repurchase again. Mainly because it is affordable and there are so many shades to choose from!

So as I said in my previous review, I am not a nail polish girl, so when I received these products I was pretty amped to give it a go.
For a first timer, I have to admit that I was really happy with this product.
The application was easy (especially for a newbie) and there has hardly or no mess, and the end result was smooth and neat. Plus with the added bonus of it drying rather quickly.
The only negative thing I could say about this, was the colour lol, dark blue really is not a good look for me, but other than that, there really isn't anything else I could say.
I would recommend this product to other ladies, and my sister who gave it a go as well, was really impressed with it as well (and she uses nail polish more than I do).
It definitely one of those few products who get affordability and quality right :)
