NOTD: MAYBELLINE COLOR SHOW NAIL LACQUER #370 SHOCKING SEAS

Maybelline has 40 hot new nail shades to make your own.

Color Show Nail Lacquer
Bolder, crisper color that just won’t quit

I had been wanting to try the new Maybelline Color Show nail lacquers since seeing an ad for them in my Allure magazine. The range of colors were so bright and colorful. I decided to pick up a few colors and #370 Shocking Seas is one of the polishes that I purchased. It is a solid cream polish with a color mixture of turquoise blue (but with less green) and a sky blue color. It has a smooth application with two coats giving opaque coverage. However, the brush is rather narrow but it doesn't hinder the application process.

The Maybelline Color Show nail lacquers are currently priced at $3.99 ea for .23 fl oz. and can be found at any local drugstore or discount store. I purchased three more Color Show nail lacquers and I will post a review of those in the coming weeks. So check back for those updates.
