Maybelline Polka Dot Shooting Stars and Rain Forest Canopy

Hey guys.  Hope today finds you well and happy.  Hopefully my swatches will brighten your day a little.  Today I am showing you 2 out of 4 new releases to the Maybelline Polka Dot polishes.  I bought these from Boots at a snip for only £2.99 a bottle, and at the minute they are buy one get one half price....bargain!

So I am going to start with my least favourite of the 2, before I show you a blinder of a polish.  This is Rain Forest Canopy.  It is green jelly base with a hint of teal in there to.  It has cute black and white matte glitters in varying sizes.  I decided to layer this over nails inc Queen Victoria Street.  Application was no problem, the glitters dispersed nicely over the nail.  Dry time was also good.  This is one coat.







Now onto the one that captured my heart the moment I saw it...Shooting Stars, what an AWESOME polish!  It is set In a blackened navy base with the same kind of matte black and white glitters in various sizes.  What I thought was cool here was some of the white glitters take on a blue tinge to, I don't know if this is intentional by the creators of this beauty but I friggin dig it!!!  I chose to layer this over Different Dimension Homeboy.....what a combo eh?  This is one 1 coat, dry time and application was faultless!




With Shooting Stars and Rain Forest Canopy I loved the way the polishes give something different from a brand name like Maybelline.  These 2 polishes are very indie esque, making me think that the creators have had to take a look at what our beloved indie makers are creating as they are now a HUGE part of the nail market now.  Shooting stars is my absolute favourite from these 2....I say for £2.99  you need to own this one!
