Maybelline Color Show - Denim Dash

After Jess had decent luck with her recent Color Show mani, I decided I would give them a try myself. I picked up Denim Dash, Amethyst Ablaze, and Crushed Candy. Denim Dash is from the Denims collection and Amethyst Ablaze is from the Metallics collection.


Then I received my Zoya Zang Toi Imperial Russia collection in the mail and passed right over the Color Show polishes. I had to give Imperial Russia a try...which is a post for another day. Because due to circumstances that were nearly completely within my control (I had to scratch my cat Lucy's ears, ok?? She was very demandy!), I ruined my Chinoiserie Fantasy. So I took it off, intending to re-do it. And then due to circumstances that were nowhere near to being within my control, and which you will hear all about in a day or two...I grabbed the Denim Dash and went for the non-complicated, isn't it such a pretty color mani. See?

I had a couple of boo-boos, due largely to the fact that I had to leave for work less than an hour after I painted these guys, and that included changing clothes and fixing my hair. Of course I put a dent in a couple of them. Sigh. But it's such a perfect denim color. Click onto the larger pictures and you'll even see the little white specks you see in a well worn pair of jeans. It's awesome. I loved it.

Then within the first twelve hours, it was Chip City. Well, maybe Chip Small Town. Because I had a couple, but nothing outlandish. And they were the only chips I got in 4 days. Also, my friend Julie brought me a bottle of OPI Teenage Dream, and I had to try it out, so I put glitter racing stripes on two nails. You'll see...if you look hard. It's a pale pink glitter, very subtle. As are the chips.

Overall, it was a great polish, especially considering the price. $2.97 at Walmart? I'll take it! Now I'm really looking forward to trying the other colors I got!
