Maybelline Colorama Nail Paint in Coral Chic: Review,Swatches and NOTD

11.9.14 7 Comments
Maybelline always being a budget brand has such a plethora of products to offer catering to different needs of beauty. One such product was their Colorama range of nail paints which has been very obviously over shadowed by their new Colorshow range...for all good reasons though..I do own own a few of these and today's review is of Maybelline Colorama Nail Paint in Coral Chic.

Product Information: (Website description)
Make every color wish a reality with our collection of vibrant nail colors.
Express Finish Quick Dry Nail Color – Wet to Set in 40 Seconds
Why you’ll Love It
High-gloss nail color with 5 day wear!
Combine a visually stunning palette of pigments, pearls and glitters
It’s the ultimate accessory that transforms your look from day to night, fun to funky and classic to daring…in a flash!

Directions for Use:
1. With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish up the center of your nail starting from the base to the tip.
2. For the cleanest look, be sure to leave a small space at the base of the nail.
3. Then apply color to the rest of the nail with additional sweeps of polish on each side of the original line.
4. Let your nails dry before applying a second coat.

Price/Quantity: INR 100/8ml

My Experience:
Maybelline Colorama Nail Paints  come in a flat glass bottle with a white cap.The shade name is mentioned on the bottle itself. The applicator is easy to hold and the brush is good enough to give a non-streaky smooth finish.
Coming to the shade...now coral is one of the most talked about shade for the past 2-3 years. Each one of us has something in Coral in our wardrobe or vanity,so why leave the nail paint behind. Coral Chic is a very beautiful coral colour with very very fine gold shimmers..Perfect for this summer!!!!
What disappoints me is the poor pigmentation of this nail paint. The opacity shown in the pic above has been achieved after 4 meticulous coats....Yeah Its that sheer!!! And Yeah who the hell has that much patience :/
The wear time isn't impressive either. Even after so many coats,it doesn't last even three days without chipping. I can't even thing of applying Colorama nail paints without a top coat!
 
My Likes:

  • Affordable...but then colorshow ones are cheaper and way better!
  • Variety of shades to choose from.
  • Coral Chic is a beautiful coral shade.
  • Applicator and brush is good.
My Dislikes:
  • Very poor pigmentation...too sheer!
  • Poor staying power without a top coat.
Last Word:
Though I love the colour,the number of coats required to  get the desired colour..i.e. what you see in the bottle drives me crazy :/

Repurchase: Hell No!!!

Over All Rating: 2/5

Maybelline Colorama in Bale Classico: Review,Swatches and NOTD

10.7.13 10 Comments
I always like alternating my nail paint shades...like I need a bright fuschia post a grey nail paint...and then the fuschia is followed by a nude enamel.
Lets see how this beige nude nail paint by Maybelline fares:
Company Claims:
Glossy, chip resistant nail color in vibrant color.Maybelline Colorama Nail Color offers high-gloss nail color with over 5 days wear without chipping. It combines a visually stunning palette of pigments, pearls and glitters. It’s the ultimate accessory that transforms your look from day to night, fun to funky and classic to daring in a flash.

Price Vs. Quantity: INR 100/ 8ml

Packaging:
Maybelline Colorama in Bale Classico comes in a flat oblong glass bottle with a white cap.As the cap is quite long,it makes the application of the nail paint super convenient.The applicator brush has non-screechy soft bristles which allow smooth application.

Shade:
Bale Classico is a nude beige shade..Its very true to skin and that is why it works wonderfully well in french manicures.. Its Classico for sure ;)

My Take:
This is one shade I like to wear all the time. Its nude,its classy and it goes with everything you wear. If like me you are also a fan of French Manicures,apply Bale Classico as your base coat and paint your tips white and your nails would look amazing. The long cap makes the grip and application very very convenient.I guess this is what I liked most about Maybelline Colorama.The brush/applicator was nice gave smooth swipes.The colour shows up properly in two swipes (one swipe is not opaque enough). The staying power is nothing to go gaga about. Without a top coat it won't survive on me for even 3days.

My Likes:
1. The applicator/brush is easy to hold.
2. Beautiful,soft nude shade.
3. The bottle consumes less space because of its shape.
4. Did not take huge time in drying (could be because of the top coat).
5. The brush gives nice finish (not screechy at all).
6. Pocket-friendly so collecting different colours would be fun.
7. Works great with French Manicures.

My Dislikes:
The staying power isn't that awesome.Started chipping the third day :(

Last Word: 
I absolutely love the shade. Even the formula for the price isn't bad!

Repurchase:
Till Eternity...............

Over All Rating: 4/5

P.S. In the above pics I have 3 coats of Bale Classico followed with a top coat.

My First NOTD : Maybelline Colorama in Nude ; Swatches and Review

17.6.12 26 Comments
Hey Gals...
Though its the tiniest reason to be happy,still I'm happy because its my first NOTD :)
I was always fond of long nails (and it was super easy for me grow my nails long,they have amazing growth). But now I don't seem to like very long nails on me..I'd rather keep them short or medium length,what I have now is pretty much what I like..with this length,I can paint them,do a little nail art and even a French manicure looks good at this length on me :)
So off to the review now:
Today I'm having Maybelline Colorama in Nude on my nails and I'm loving it :)
I bought this as a part of my Mini Summer Haul.

Though I like wearing bright colours and even neon in summers,there are times when I want to wear subtle shades,specially in the scorching heat.
Read My Summer Loves here!
To satisfy the quench for subtle nudes,I bought this Maybelline Colorama in Nude.

Price: INR 100/-

Quantity: 8ml

Packaging: Maybelline Colorama in Nude comes in a flat oblong glass bottle with a white cap.As the cap is quite long,it makes the application of the nail paint super convenient.The applicator brush has non-screechy soft bristles which allow smooth application.

Shade:


Nude is a dirty pink shade with mauve undertones.Had I been appointed as a shade namer (which I so wish I was) I would have named it Rosy Nude. Because its actually not nude thanks to the very obvious pink.Still its a beautiful,soft shade which does not require so much to be wiped off once you change your dress.Yesss!it goes well with many colours :)

My take: Me and my love for nail paints goes back in history.Ever since I remember,I had more than 25 nail paints in my fridge (yes,that's when I was in 8th standard and wearing nail paints in a convent was an absolute NO NO;) Though back in those times I did not have access to branded nail paints..buying a lakme nail polish was an achievement then :) Today I mostly have the branded ones but a roadside glance at a pretty shade of a particular nail paint and I'm completely sold and there's nothing that can stop me from purchasing a certain Miss Beauty,Lovely Lips,Rafa and I dunno what all fancy and funny names ;) After all what's in a name!


Any ways what I'm wearing on my nails today is Maybelline Colorama in Nude .This is my first Colorama nail paint. The glass bottle is tall even though it carries the regular 8ml,I guess its because it has a flatter shape and the cap is long enough.The long cap makes the grip and application very very convenient.I guess this is what I liked most about Maybelline Colorama.The brush/applicator was nice gave smooth swipes.The colour shows up properly in two swipes (one swipe is not opaque enough).The shade Nude is a dirty rosy pink with mauve undertones.It makes my hands look fair,soft and smooth {yes they do..like the neon ones make my hand look like I have just washed utensils of a big fat wedding ;)
The only thing that made me sad was that it started chipping off from the third day of application even when I had applied the top coat on it.So the staying power isn't all that amazing :(

My Likes:
1. The applicator/brush is easy to hold.
2. Beautiful,fresh and soft shade.
3. The bottle consumes less space because of its shape.
4. Did not take huge time in drying (could be because of the top coat).
5. The brush gives nice finish (not screechy at all).
6. Pocket-friendly so collecting different colours would be fun.

My Dislikes:
The staying power isn't that awesome.Started chipping the third day :(

Last Word: I like the shade and formula and for the price we get this,I don't have much to complain.

Repurchase: Though Nude is a beautiful all season shade and I love it,I still would like to buy some other shade from this range (I get bored super easily)

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Love:

P.S. In the pics above,I'm wearing two coats of  Maybelline Colorama in Nude with a clear top coat.
