I normally try not to post about limited edition drugstore products because once they're gone, they tend to stay gone. However I'm making an exception for these gorgeous glittery polishes from Maybelline. I received these for Christmas & I think they're some of the loveliest glitters I've come across. Maybelline brought four of the colours over to the UK & here I have Rosy Rosettes, Woven Skyline & Knitted Gold. All three are packed full of glitter & have a subtle golden iridescent sheen to them. Rosy Rosettes is a reddish pink jelly with small gold hex glitter & medium red hex glitter. Woven Skyline is a charcoal jelly with small silver, black & gold glitter particles and larger gold hex pieces. Knitted Gold is a clear base with lots of golden shimmer & two sizes of pink hex glitter. They all look great either on their own or as a top coat. My favourite is easily Knitted Gold. Those rose gold glitter particles are just way too beautiful to resist.
On my nails I'm wearing the classic Essie Mint Candy Apple topped off with one coat of Knitted Gold. The golden pink shimmer & glitter particles reminded me of mermaid scales so I figured they would go well together. I don't think the picture truly captures how pretty this looks. The subtle shimmer makes them really sparkle & shine. Just call me Ariel! I seldom look at nail polishes that aren't located on the Essie stand these days but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Maybelline's latest collections. I spotted their Street Artist top coats on my last visit to Boots & they look pretty awesome too.

I own Woven Skyline and Knitted Gold and LOVE them both!! I've still seen them available in my local boots so don't think they have completely gone yet!

haha i know what you mean. i find it's not *as* bad if you use a normal polish underneath & then remove with that bourjois pot thing. i normally end up picking them off tbh! xx
Deletethose are gorgeous, I wish I'd been to boots when these were released, are they still available?

they might well be! it's probably down to whether your local boots have them because some people have seen them on the stand recently. my one doesn't have them anymore though. always check the bottom drawer, they sometimes keep old or surplus stock in them so hopefully you can find some goodies in there! xx
Deleteknitted gold looks gorgeous, right up my street! xo

i'm all about the gold too ;) xx
DeleteI have the gold and red and i think they are amazing, i didn't realise they were LE, very gutted because these are the best glitters i've used! I find they are a hassle to take off though

yeah i normally end up picking off glitters! i was very impressed with them though, maybelline's nail polishes are surprisingly good xx
DeleteI have a similar barry M nail varnish to 'Rosy Rosettes' and it is such a pain in the bum to remove! It feels like you are sandpapering your nails :(

yeah that's the downside to glitters :/ i always make sure i use another polish underneath or a basecoat. if all else fails, i pick the polish off xx
DeleteThese look very pretty when they're on!
