Maybelline Forever Strong Professional Nail Varnish in
Ceramic Blue (£4.09) is a true pale baby blue. Ceramic Blue is similar to
Chanel’s Riva nail varnish, Illamasqua caress, Jessica's Bikini blue, and Revlon's
blue lagoon so if you have any of these or other baby blue shades I wouldn’t
recommend getting the nail varnish. The colour is nice but isn’t anything
exceptional that you can’t get anywhere else.
You will need at least two coats of this nail varnish to get
an opaque finish; I put on three just for that little bit extra opaqueness (is
this even a word). The formula I found to
be quite runny so I had to be abit more careful not to get too much on the
brush. The drying time was no longer than usual, I paint my nail when I’m
watching Hollyoaks so each layer is completely dry before I put another layer
on and by the time Hollyoaks is finished I’m finished (My little measurement
tool).
I wore this polish and it far exceeded the time it was chip free
than other nail varnishes that I had tried before. It lasted a good 4 days without chipping and
that is good for me. I’ve been known to have chipped nails the night I’ve
painted them. Also worth mentioning is
that the brush on the nail polish is nice, it not too big and it not to small
it fits the nail well and takes me three swipes to do an entire nail but I’m
just a perfectionist.
Would you buy or miss this?
I've wanted this colour for so long! it's literally been on my wish list since I first saw it and now I really like the look of the pink shade you posted. I also saw a Maybelline nail varnish in Cosmic Flash which looks amazing. the forever strong pro ones have such a good formula I have 2 of them so far xxxx
