Maybelline – Express Finish Nail Polish Opal Rush review

Maybelline had these beautiful nail polishes in their express finish advanced wear range , which claims to dry within 50 secs. I had got a couple of this same shade, Opal Rush($4.99)
from US to gift to my young cousins.

The shade is a very lovely shiny emerald/turquoise color that shows very beautiful when light falls on it in different angles.

Quantity: 14.7ml

As stated on their website:

Product Details
Why You’ll Love It
Quick-dry nail color – Wet to Set in 50 Seconds. Advanced Wear® anti-chip color gives tips a fresh, vivid look and lasts for days. Exclusive Control-Flow™ brush dispenses the exact amount of color for a smooth, even application that resists chipping and peeling.

For Best Results

First apply a clear base coat to prevent your nails from yellowing and to help your nail color last longer. With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish up the center of your nail starting from the base to the tip. For the cleanest look, be sure to leave a small space at the base of the nail. Then apply color to the rest of the nail.

————–

I love everything about this nail polish. It goes on sheer and gives a beautiful green-blue shine. Its the right shade which is subtle yet very unique. Its like a step above plain white shiny nail polish. Its the kind of shade that makes your fingers on your hands look longer and your feet look very dainty. The bottle has a decent amount of polish compared to other brands(14.7ml). It definitely does dry very fast compared to other brands but probably takes a minute to dry rather than 50 secs it claims. The brush is slim and good quality and goes on well.

Two coats stay on pretty long and don’t chip for at least 3 days depending on the kind of work you do.

To sum it up-

Pros of Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish Opal Rush

Great value
Lovely color
Good quantity
Nice brush
Fast dry within a minute

Cons of Maybelline express finish Nail Polish Opal Rush

None, but this shade is sheer, so some might need 2 coats to show the color more prominent.

Conclusion :

I think Maybelline makes the best nail polishes in the drugstore brands, and this range is really popular. I have tried other fast dry nail polishes but this range dried the fastest. This color is lovely and appropriate for any age and any day use.

Cali its quite difficult to set a time for the courier guy as there is no fixed numbers of order that he has to deliver in a day. I usually place online orders and pick them on Saturday together.

Cali………….awwwwwwwww…that’s bad……………you contact the courier people and track down your package na…..I usually pester the courier walas to deliver my packages early :ghost2: :ghost2: :ghost2:

calicoaster February 9, 2011 at 11:15 am

arey its not regular courier guys..its oriflame guys only delivering products to people who choose for home delivery.. And they come at all weird times..just because of this I never pay by card and always choose for COD option…coz these guys irritate me a lot with their tantrums..as if they are doing some ehsaan by giving the courier…We pay for that..atleast they should be somewhat considerate!! :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: …. I feel there should be some option of timing thing in the online order mode!!
