Top 10 Glitter: A Shimmering Start
The Maratonando collection kicks off with the Top 10 glitter, a flocked glitter with a transparent base and micro-glitter particles. Its sheer nature means it won't provide full coverage even with multiple coats, making it ideal for blending and creating unique nail art designs. The application is straightforward, but patience is key as it takes a bit longer to dry.
I applied two generous coats for testing purposes, showcasing the beautiful, subtle glitter effect. However, for full coverage, layering with other nail polishes might be needed. This versatile glitter is perfect for mixing and creating custom nail looks. Expect a future video demonstrating various mixing techniques with this beautiful glitter.
Critical Acclaim Glitter: Golden Sparkle
Next up is Critical Acclaim, a golden glitter with a similar transparent base to the Top 10 glitter. It's equally stunning and versatile, offering endless possibilities for nail art combinations. The application requires more patience than a standard nail polish due to its glitter formulation.
Its drying time is noticeably longer. Applying thin coats and allowing ample drying time between coats is crucial to avoid smudging the glitter. This golden glitter is a perfect accent to other colors; I've found a sponge application might lead to more consistent coverage.
Ama a Cadrama: Delicate Pink Perfection
Ama a Cadrama is a creamy, light pink nail polish, described as delicate by the brand. Its creamy texture makes for smooth application and excellent coverage. Two coats achieve a perfect, even finish; the first coat might seem a bit sheer, but the second coat provides complete coverage.
This particular rose shade is a standout. The formula is easy to work with, even for those who are quick with their application. A lovely romantic shade, ideal for adding a touch of elegance to any look.
Polar Opening: A Vibrant Blue
Polar Opening is a vibrant blue nail polish that, while creamy, requires two coats for optimal coverage. The first coat is quite sheer, so applying a generous amount is necessary for even color distribution. However, be careful, as this shade tends to stain nails.
Despite the staining, the intense blue color is lovely. For best results, using a pearly base coat underneath is recommended to prevent staining and ensure a more vibrant finish. This prevents a yellowish tinge on nails after removal.
Spoiler-Free: Bluish Purple Charm
Spoiler-Free, a bluish-purple nail polish, is a standout in the collection due to its excellent coverage. One coat provides a beautiful, even finish, while a second coat enhances the shine and vibrancy. The flat brush makes for a smooth, streak-free application.
This shade is incredibly easy to apply; there's almost no chance of unevenness thanks to the brush quality. The rich color and shine make this perfect for fall and winter. The smooth texture makes this an absolute pleasure to use.
New Season: Pearlescent Purple
New Season is a pearlescent purple with a unique shine. Surprisingly, one coat delivers excellent coverage. Two coats enhance the intensity and shine, although careful application is recommended to avoid pooling on the cuticles.
The pearlescent finish is stunning, but quick, even strokes are vital. This prevents unevenness or patching. The result is a strikingly beautiful mani.
The Little One: Vibrant Red
The Little One is a vibrant red nail polish that offers impressive coverage, even with just one coat. Two coats provide a complete and stunning finish. This is a red that stands out from the crowd and applies smoothly.
Its ease of application, smooth texture and flawless coverage make it a favorite. While it's a red, its unique tone sets it apart from other reds in my collection, making it a worthy addition.
Suspenseful: Deep Black Glitter
Suspenseful is a deep black nail polish with subtle blue and green sparkles. This glitter polish offers excellent coverage; one coat offers decent coverage, while two coats achieve a rich, intense finish with a high-shine effect.
The unique mix of black and shimmer is truly captivating, and its application is a breeze. It's easy to apply and looks stunning on its own or as a base for more intricate nail art.
Overall Conclusion: A Must-Have Collection?
The Impala Maratonando Netflix nail polish collection is a creative and high-quality offering. Each polish features a unique color and finish, from glitters to creamy textures. The formulas are largely impressive, with most polishes offering excellent coverage and smooth application thanks to the flat brush.
While some shades require careful application (like Polar Opening), the overall quality, vibrant colors, and ease of use make this collection a worthwhile purchase. The hypoallergenic, vegan, and cruelty-free aspect adds extra appeal. Whether you're a Netflix enthusiast or simply love high-quality nail polish, this collection is a must-have.
