Over the Top Coat Winnings

Toward the beginning of this month, I was contacted by the Over the Top Coat Nail Polish blogger because I had won a prize in her 100+ Trifecta Giveaway. I excitedly confirmed and I received my prize shortly thereafter.

I won Prize #1 from her giveaway, and it came packaged in this cute little black bag.

The prizes were exactly as advertised, Essence Miss Universe, Maybelline Blue Blowout, and Maybelline Magenta Mirage. 

I tried Maybelline Blue Blowout first. 

Honestly, I did not expect to like it very much - I remember being into metallic nail polish back in like the early 2000s, but that was a freaking decade ago!  I had a Sally Hansen polish that was very similar to this one. I surprised myself with how much I ended up liking it. It was such a brilliantly bright blue, especially in the sunlight.

Maybelline Magenta Mirage is a Shredded nail polish. It's the kind that you paint on over an existing color and it creates a 'shattered' effect.

I used to be pretty excited about shatter nail polishes, but admittedly, that's kind of worn down. It was still a good polish. Went on easily over Blue Blowout and had a decent shatter effect. 

My favorite of the trio turned out to be Miss Universe.

This was a deep blue-black color with a touch of shimmer that really did seem to resemble the universe.
