When browsing the aisles at my local Boots, I came across the Maybelline section and the display of all it's new offerings. My eyes were instantly drawn to the pretty pink speckled nail varnish and when I saw it was only £2, an incredibly low price for a Maybelline nail varnish, I grabbed it straight away. I got the Polka Dots one in no. 201 'Speckled Pink' which stood out to me cause it was different to other textured/effect nail varnishes that are around at the moment which all seem to contain glitter, with the exception of the amazing Illamasqua speckled polishes, but this one has a really attractive splattered paint effect to it which I love!

Now I do really like this but there are a few negatives as well but lets start with having a look on the positive side of things. First of all I was really impressed with it's coverage, I had expected it to be like many others I have tried and that is incredibly sheer to the point where you have to put about five coats on to get the full effect if you want to wear it on it's own with no base colour.
