Maybelline Dotty Color Show Polka Dots Nail Polish

July 25th, 2013 by Karen 24 Comments

Ok, so, I know this is technically a summer release, but I’m getting a strong Halloween vibe from Maybelline’s Color Show Polka Dots Nail Polish in Dotty ($3.99).

All we need now is a jack-o-lantern, a bag of Peanut M&Ms and a boom box looping The Monster Mash in the yard.

Dotty is one of five new Polka Dots Polishes dotting drugstore shelves, Ulta aisles and the Intertubes online.

      Oh well! Maybe you’ll find another shade from the Polka Dots line that you’ll like soon.

    Are you wearing a single coat Karen? It looks slightly sheer. I liked Drops of Jade more!

    HAHA! Very Halloween! If this is a single coat, it’s a bit less sheer than I’d imagined. If it’s more than one coat, the dots don’t look as clumpy as I’d imagined. So, I guess, either way, the formula looks like a winner. Maybe not the color combo, but that’ll be a matter of personal taste. 🙂

      Two coats, babe! 🙂

      Happy Thursday, btw, from Redding. It’s HOT up here. I just got back from a run outside and it literally felt like I was running in an oven. Today’s high is supposed to be 107. At least it’s a dry heat…

        Oh, you are totally a trooper! Or a trouper. Whichever one means more “kick a*s” in that sentence. 🙂 It was in the mid-90s last week and we were all like zombies. Of course, the super high humidity didn’t help, but I honestly don’t think I could function in 107 degrees, let alone run. You make me proud! 🙂

    Lol Halloween Vibe. I totally agree, but I love it for Halloween! Not so much for the summer.

      I know, right? Maybe if the black dots were something else, like green or blue or maybe even pink.

    I agree definitely a Halloween vibe, but I would totally pick it up and save it. Did the glitter stay well while applying? That’s always my trouble with glitter when it gets all chunky.

      Hi Ashleigh,

      It did a really good job of laying flat. Sometimes with polishes like these they get all clumpy and move all over the place, but these don’t do that. Not bad for $3.99!

    Yeah, Halloween, but it’s still an awesome nail polish .. I thought the large chunks would lift, but all seems to sit well on the nail bed :-0

    When I first saw this look, I immediately thought of halloween, but it’s still and awesome polish. Not so much a summer shade but definitely a fall shade.

    I’ve been dying to see a close-up of the Maybelline dots polish ever since I saw an ad for them. Your photos are much more informative than the ad! I’m not sure about that color combo, but I must have one of the dot polishes. I just don’t have enough patience to do my own dots lol

    I like it! A very fall colour, or perhaps a stormy summer day? Will watch for this one.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my almost-three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
