When it comes to nails the beauty world has gone a bit dotty! These are some of the latest high street offering from Maybelline New York and they’re pretty darn fab!
I love the spotty/polka dot nail texture trend – more interesting than plain but not as bling as glitter. I can’t get enough.
The Blue shade is called ‘Shooting Stars’ and the pink is called (the slightly less original) ‘Speckled Pinks’ and both are really pretty shades but on both accounts the colour is slightly sheer – which is needs to be to allow the black and white chunks need to show through and too much pigment would hide them, which would kinda defeat the point.
Both pictures above are two coats and you can see how sheer the colour is – the way around this is to apply a cream colour as a base for it in a matching shade, so a deep blue for the blue and a hot pink for the pink – this will create a base of colour rather than the nail base being at the bottom allowing the polka dot layer to pop more.
What do you think of these new offerings from Maybelline? Loving the polka dot trend or think it might go the way of the crackle nails…
Available from Superdrug (£2.99 each)

Really like the look of them! Are they textured or are they smooth?
I like them, but aren’t they difficult to get off like sparkly/glitter polishes?

I picked up the pink one when I was in the UK over the weekend, and I have yet to try it. I love the look of it, I think I will try layering it with another polish for more opacity x
Only recently done a blog post on these a while ago on my blog helloiammariam.com but my favourite is the black and white one which I’ve completely forgotten the name of and I love the purple one! These are so good and so cheap!
these are really pretty, I’ll have to check out the different shades next time I’m in wal-mart
I like the look of these, I think I saw a green too but I might have made that up, I’ll have to go back and have a look x
These remind me of confetti by L’oreal, I’ve got speckled pinks and it defin needs a coloured polish as a base x
Wauw. heel erg mooi!
looks great, and what a great price too!
