I really really wasn’t going to buy the Maybelline Color Show Bleached Neons collection – I mean what do I want with pinks??? Or pasteley neons for that matter. But there they sat on the shelves, taunting me and then fellow bloggers started posting awesome swatches and I was hooked. Had to have them. In fact I got all four in one of those BOGOFF sales in my local Boots. But anyway, I digress….. this is Chic Chartreuse.
Ahhh just look at it! So pretty on the nail, unlike in the bottle when its a bit *meh*
Formula was OK, it is a bit streaky, but this is two coats applied carefully. When I looked closely I could see the odd dragging/bald spot, but seriously I can live with that. Drying time was on the quick side and these do try a bit matted. So I used some G&G HG Girl to top coat that to a glossy shine. Underneath I’ve been using Essence Anti Nail Split Sealer as my base and it does seem to be reducing the incidence of nail peeling and splitting. I may even get them a bit longer!
I have still seen these about, about they are limited edition, so if you want them, strike now. There are four in the collection and I have worn them all (yes even the pink) and I do also think that they would make a nice base for some nail art or stamping too.
Do you have this? Or did you give them a miss? Let me know in the comments!

I thought I’d buy them on holiday in Germany as they are a steal here for 2 Euros (about £1.60) but not surprisingly they seem to be sold out everywhere. I can’t understand the British price tag at all – especially for a small bottle. I will stick to my Models Own Polish for Tans…

Ooohhh that is a good price. They have some Europe only editions too in Germany for instance the acid wash range has a dark blue one and the crystallize range had an additional colour in it too
Hope you had a good trip and thanks for your comment 😃

We got seven colors in this collection and I bought them all because I have no self-control sometimes. 🙂 One of the few I’ve actually gotten onto my nails is Lime Accent, which looks to be our match for Chic Chartreuse.
