This post just goes to show that a little bit of research
goes a long way. Ok, “research” is an exaggeration, a little bit of “googling”
goes a long way. When Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel launched in India, I
was one of the many, many ladies who said “halleluiah!” Unfortunately, I wasn’t
in Mumbai then, and I wanted to get my hands on them, who wouldn’t want to?
They cost just Rs. 75. I was really surprised and elated to see the nail
polishes on online websites so soon, it was like…destiny.
But it was hard choosing among the colors, especially since
I had never seen them in the store, and I wanted to try different colors, ones
I’ve never tried before. Also I purchased these two months back, so back then,
they weren’t there on the Indian beauty blogosphere either.
I started googling
the names from the Maybelline India website, and I did find a helpful blog, whose name I completely forgot, in
which the writer had reviewed a MNY Color Show from the denim range which had released last year in US. I guess google hit
that post because I typed Maybelline Color Show Denim Dash, and the US name was
similar. I really regret the fact that I hadn’t bookmarked the blog, the writer
described the shade so beautifully, so accurately, I was sold.
I ordered Denim Dash and one more color, because I loved the
look of the denim range Color Show enamels and I hoped this would be similar.
Well, it is!
