Maybelline Rose Poudre (130) Red Hot Getaway (872) Super Stay Gel Nail Color

Recently I have loosened up on makeup due to the intolerable heat and the humidity infused surroundings. My oily skin forbids stuff and I am surviving on mattifying sunscreens thus. But I love makeup so much that in order to make good the loss, I am going gaga over nail paints (Colours! Fun! Art! :p). I have never loved nail art, but only preferred singly coloured nails. This summer something must have gotten into me because I made my first attempt at nail art with Maybelline Forever Strong Super Stay Gel Nail Colors ! Today I will be reviewing two colours from this range called 130 Rose Poudre and 872 Red Hot Getaway.

Product Claims: 7 Days with top coat touch ups.

Packaging: These come in sturdy flat bottles with white caps. I love the packaging as it looks really stylish. There is a peeling sticker at the back that has the product ingredients mentioned. The brush is just amazing. People with broad nails are going to love it to bits. It’s flat, broad, with silky bristles and a concave tip. It is just perfect!

Shades:

130 Rose Poudre is the nude I was searching for. It is a lovely beige colour with the slightest amount of pink in it. It is very flattering against my complexion and can also be used for nude nail art. Under direct sunlight a lot of mauve tints pop up in it, so there is definitely a mauve undertone to it. It is my favourite of the two and I have also done two nail art decorations with it. (See Photos)

872 Red Hot Getaway is a coral pink with orange undertones that just screams summer. It’s a hot hot shade that is fun and will brighten up even a dull day. It is a difficult-to-describe shade and can be a bit pinker or a bit more coral on you depending on your skin tone.

It will look neonish on deeper skinned ladies though. On my warm tone, it looks a lot pinker. This shade is a part of their Summer Bliss collection which has shades that are perfect for the summers; 873 Sun Kissed is another, to name one. Not all the shades from their Gel Nail Color range is launched in India, for e.g. Forevermore Green, Berry Stain, Nude Rose and Eternal Lilac are few shades which we miss as the colours are lovely.

Texture: The texture is smooth jelly like, the reason why it gives gel like finish. However it is the right consistency and is extremely easy to work with. It is totally non streaky and applies like dream (partly due to the perfect brush). Two coats are required for full opacity and the drying time is not much.

You may dip your hands in ice water post application (I do!) for quick drying though. The finish is gel like, super glossy which stays for about 2 days on me (I am super active BTW). After that the glossiness is slightly worn but it still looks pretty and not dull.

It stays chip free for 4 days which is impressive and with a top coat it really lasts longer. It still was going strong on my 6th day of wear without a top coat with minor tip wear.

Overall Thoughts

I totally loved Maybelline Rose Poudre (130) Red Hot Getaway (872) Super Stay Gel Nail Color and in future I will buy few more shades from this range. Initially I thought Maybelline is being too pricey with these polishes given it is an affordable brand, but now I have come to terms with it. Yet I still feel 250 INR would have been the correct pricing. Nonetheless, you must go ahead and try this range. You will love it for sure, like I do.

Rating: 4.75/5 (-0.25 for High Pricing!)
