You may recall my recent trip to Vienna. There I was minding my own business in a drugstore, checking out the polishes and the shower gels (who doesn’t love a good shower gel!) and my eye kept being drawn back to the Maybelline Color Show Vinyl stands. Now I couldn’t figure out why, but in three more stores, that happened. And then it twigged. There were four shades, but only three were the same as the UK release. You can see what I mean here. In Europe, there was no pink, but there was this one. Grey Beats!
Anyway, so I had to have it. We’ve seen this with both the Vintage Leather, Crystallise and Acid Wash polishes where in Europe there is either more to the set, sometimes five or six colours, whilst in the UK we only have four. Curious huh? Its not the like the UK market is that odd is it?!?!
So, onto the polish. This is two coats over a base of Nailtiques 2. Formula was OK, a little but draggy in places so care is needed. But its quite the chalk grey isn’t it! It is quite pale, but I was ready for a bit of a palette cleanser at this point, plus I think it might be a great base for some nail stamping in orange, black and darker silver…….
Not sure if you might be able to find this in the UK, perhaps eBay, but the four UK edition shades are available now in your usual Maybelline stockists. Did you pick up any of the Vinyl collection?
