Maybelline - MNY 446

Grey/taupe shimmer with holo sparkle  

Blimey, somehow I lost a whole month to work, Christmas and general busyness....

Anyhow, on with the show...

MNY is a younger, funkier branding for the  Maybelline range.  In the UK I think it is, or was, exclusive to Superdrug but I first discovered it in a drugstore in Germany a few years ago.





Blurred close-up to show the holo...

Unfortunately the MNY polishes don't have shade names only dull numbers so here is 446....

This is definitely an unusual colour/finish.  Primarily it's a grey/taupe shimmer but there's also a strong blue/silver foil flash (can you even have a foil flash?) and then to finish off there are fine holo sparkles.

The base colour changes a lot with the light, sometimes it's cooler and grey, sometimes warmer and almost brown.

There's a lot going on, but I'm a big fan of taupe and grey and who can resist holo sparkles even if they're very fine and not massively visible?!  A win...
