Maybelline Color Show- Porcelain Party

Let me start off by saying this: I have along running history of being extremely disappointed with all the Maybelline products I have ever tried. From the clumpy mascaras to the sticky lipglosses to the crumbly blush, I was abut ready to give up on the brand altogether. However, the colorshow line of polishes made me change my mind. From the cute little packages to the wide variety of colors to the attractive prices ($1.99 USD,) I thought I would give it a try. Also, Jenny Fox spoke very highly of one of the colors in a recent YouTube video, and she is a dedicated Essie/OPI/Chinaglaze fan, so I thought I'd get the white polish for nail art and see how it performed.
Overall, I'm really impressed. It's a bit sheer, but with three coats and a topcoat, no one has to know it was from the drugstore. I use it for just about all my nail art, including as a white base for ombre manicures, neons and animal prints. Today, I chose to incorporate it into a simple French manicure, using Revlon in "Sheer Blush" as the French pink color.
All too often, French manicures look cheesy and overdone, and on the toes especially, a little white trash. My response was to put the white tip directly over the basecoat and then apply the French pink color and the topcoat to make the white less stark and make the whole thing look more natural.
Overall, I think this is the only Maybelline product I have ever liked, and maybe I will even get another one. They have introduced a line of polka dot nail polishes that have a colored base and contrasting matte circular glitters, which sounds interesting and worth a shot.
