Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish Review - 265 Wine Shimmer

Maybelline Color Show - Wine Shimmer Swatch £2.99
Wine Shimmer is one of Maybelline's new Color Show nail varnishes.  This shade is a raspberry colour densely packed with lots of tiny specks of shimmery glitter.  The formula of this polish is very thin, I used 2 coats, but for full opaqueness I'd recommend applying either 3 layers of Wine Shimmer, or using a raspberry nail polish as a base coat along with 2 coats of Wine Shimmer.

The brush is standard of most polishes in this price range, but was good enough for an easy application.  The polish was also pretty quick to dry, my first coat took just under 5 minutes to dry and the second took just over 5 minutes.  I used a clear basecoat, 2 coats of Color Show and Essie's No Chips Ahead topcoat.  I found that this polish lasted me 2 full days without any tip wear and chipped by day 5.  On my nails I thought that was pretty good, especially for such a polish with such a thin consistency.

I did find that before applying my topcoat the surface of this polish was really rough, but 2 coats of topcoat would be enough to smooth out the finish.  This polish was surprisingly easy to remove despite how shimmery it is, as it removed in a matter of seconds with Pretty Quick Instant Nail Polish Remover.
