Review: Maybelline Forever Strong Nail Varnish

Shade: Ceramic Blue




I have been really lax with my blogging of late, but I have been focusing on setting up a youtube channel which is now live and there are a few videos on there so do check them out, my channel is SBSparkleDust :-)!!

Anyway this post is a review of a nail varnish that I bought from Boots the other week in one of my 3 for 2 purchases :-). I got this one and a Revlon nail polish as well as one of the coveted Revlon Lip Butter's which a review will follow on shortly.

I have another Maybelline Forever Strong nail varnish in clear which I have found great for helping my nails to grow (they have been particularly bad recently), so I decided to invest in a colour one and got drawn in by this pretty pastel blue colour.  Pastels and brights are very in for Spring/Summer and I love this blue colour as it is like a pale denim colour and it is not too overbearing in that it would go with quite a lot of outfits which is a bonus. I didn't notice until I started to put it on that it is a tiny bit holographic with a purple tone but it is so subtle that you hardly notice it,

I used two coats on my nails which was all I needed, you could get away with doing one as it is quite thick to apply but I thought for even coverage I would do a second coat. It dries quite quick which is good and I wore this for just under a week and it had barely started to chip which impressed me. I think it comes in for under £5 and for that I think it is well worth checking out if you are wanting to update your nails with a bit of pastel colour for Spring.

Happy nail varnish shopping :-)!
