Maybelline Blue Marks The Spot

This is a polish that Robyn Gave me a few months ago because she just didn't like it as mch as she thought she would. I can safely say I'm glad she didn't like it :P

This is Maybelline Blue Marks The Spot(But had you been reading since the title I'm sure you could have made that connection) from their Polka Dots collection, layered over one coat of Maybelline Denim Dash. On its on this polish is kind of this weird sheer, milky blue. It really does not look all that great on it's own. Espicially when you have nails like mine aka Yellow as a lemon. My sketch nails kind of give the polish a green tint. I thought a perfect match would be Denim Dash a matte, denim colour shimmer. I had to use two coats of BMTS over DD for good coverage and I did have to do blotting on some nails where it was uneven.

I really like this polish. I honestly don't know if I would buy it at full price, but if it was on sale or like in this case given to me for free it would not go to waste! I can honestly say I have no idea if this is part of their permanent collection, but know you can find it online on places like Amazon.

What do you think of this polish?

These photos has been sitting on my computer for a few days and I keep meaning to post them but I have been exhausted due to a lack of sleep(every couple of months I'll have like 2 weeks where I can only sleep ever other night...It's great).  And my neck has been KILLING me.  But that was well worth it.  Hickey and all.

Yeah, I think I'm going to talk about the polish now.

This is my first encounter with any Maybelline polish.  A good friend of mine bought it for me for Christmas.  I actually got to choose between this and Styled out.  But I already had a similar colour.  Anyways I love this colour!  It's a rich sky blue that has silvery-blue flecks in it.  It needed a couple drops of thinner but apart from that it dried in 2 easy coats.  The finish was matte(which is neat because it is part of their denim line) but I ended up using topcoat.  I wanted to last longer.  My only problem was the brush.  Well not so much an problem as a personal preference.  I don't like my brushes that floppy.  I like them a bit stiff so I can have a bot more control(that sounds a bit naughty eh?).

While I never really paid much attention to these polishes I think I'm going to have to start paying more attention to them.

Coming soon: More badass nail art!  Did I hear chains? Also I'm about to go out for sushi.  It's not nail related.  But in my humble opinion it's still news worthy.  What's you favourite thing to order when you go out for sushi?

I was feeling fancy so I added sequins.

I'm hardly the romantic type, so this is probably as mushy as things are gonna get from me.
