Chalk Dust

Chalk Dust is the other nail polish that I have from Maybelline's Polka Dots collection

and it is the one with clear base.

Having that in mind I figured I need to put it on top of a coloured nail polish and started looking through my polishes to find the perfect mach.

When I came over Inglot's 307, I immediately thought, this is it, it's perfect.

Do you know why, because it reminded me of bees, yellow, black and white.

Of course you can put it on top of whatever colour you want to but I thought this bee theme would be cute.

 Two coats of 307 by Inglot. You can see that it is darker by my cuticles, it was more visible in real life

 So I decided to put one more coat on. This is how three coats look like.

You can only do one nail with Chalk Dust to add something extra to your mani,

or go all the way and paint all your nails with it. Both work great.

What do you think? Do like Chalk Dust?

Rain forest canopy

 

Maybelline's Rain Forest Canopy is a teal green jelly based polish with black and white 

"glitter" particles in it. They're not really glitter particles because they are not shiny, which, glitter usually is.

This type of polishes have been around the blogosphere for a while but only recently have 

become a thing to do by the more known beauty companies.
As far as I know, both Barry M and Nails Inc. have some like these.
In this particular Maybelline collection that is called Color Show Polka Dots there are five naipolishes, i think.

Four with coloured bases and one with a clear base.

Just recently I managed to find two of them in an H&M near me.

I was thinking about getting them but after looking at them for a while I passed on it

and thought I would come for them later if I still wanted them.

And I did, the next day I was in Oslo and thought I would buy them there, but, I couldn't find them anywhere

so I ended up going back to the same H&M and getting them there.

two coats

three coats

three coats

Two coats looked good, but I wanted to see how three coats looked and personally I prefer it that way.

What do you think about this type of polishes? Do you like it?
Have you seen these in stores?
