Wheel Z15: Maybelline Color Show Glitters

Today's Nail Wheel Wednesday showcases twenty glitter polishes from the Maybelline Color Show line. Though I think Sally Hansen holds the crown, Maybelline has had a lot of different nail polish lines over the years: Colorama, Express Finish, Forever Strong, Great Finish, Long Wearing, Revitalizing Color, Salon Expert, Salon Finish, Ultimate Wear, Wet Shine, to name a few I have in my collection. The Color Show line was introduced in spring/summer of 2012 as far as I can tell from my display posts. The line extensions started not too long after that. All ten of the Color Show Brocades from the Gilded in Gold collection from Holiday 2013 are here; I swatched those in January 2014. There's some question about whether these are textures or just glitters that need a lot of topcoat. This collection was involved in the great box crash in Michigan and one broke. I was able to replace it, but never worked up the energy to properly clean the bottles that got spilled on (I tried doing a couple but the gold band on the cap didn't hold up so I just left the rest alone). The entire eight shade Color Show Sequins release from Holiday 2012 is here too.
