Dancing Waves - Maybelline Color Show Brocades Beaming Blue

The Maybelline Color Show Brocades collection was released last year and I have picked up quite a few from that collection since then - just can't resist the sparklies...

Today I have Maybelline Beaming Blue, a gorgeous bright mid-blue polish with matching blue hexes and heavy gold shimmer. The gold shimmer actually gives a faux duochrome effect, and makes the blue more teal than it actually is.

This was opaque in two coats and dry time was decent, definitely need topcoat to smooth out though! Unfortunately as many people have said, wear time is not the greatest on this as the polishes from this collection tend to chip off in large flakes.

However, it's still a gorgeous shade! You could probably increase wear time by wearing a single coat over a matching base. There's definitely no lack of polishes in this colour range!
