Maybelline Color Show Nails

During my usual Boots spree this Saturday, my eyes were drawn to the Maybelline counter. Five brilliant new shade of "speckled" nail polish had been released, and were now taking pride of place at the top of the nails section. I picked up 198 Shooting Stars, a gorgeous deep blue and 200 Rainforest Canopy.

Is it just me or are these similar to Illamasqua I'mperfection? I tried them out and despite not being hugely pigmented, I love them! You definitely need at least two coats, but for £2.99, who's complaining?!

I really like the way Maybelline have mixed muted black shapes with white ones, it gives the polish depth and is something new instead of standard glitter finishes.

What do you think? Have you tried any of the Color Show nail polishes?

Drugstore Haul

I shouldn't be allowed into Boots / Superdrug. The 3 for 2 offers, "Free mascara when you spend £10 or more" and attractive counters draw me in, and I only leave after spending a small fortune! I "popped" in to both yesterday, and here's what I picked up:

Can I just draw your attention to the new Maybelline Color Show nail polishes... hello dupe of Illamasqua Imperfection?! I'm very excited to try these out, I'll do a post on them tomorrow! 

I ended the day with a visit to Topshop, trying and failing to avoid the nail polish section... They get me every time! I picked up the white nail art pen and this gorgeous pastel green pen as my other one had run out.
