I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Maybelline 210 Red Grained




This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about a minute for a coat). It's a pretty red matte colour with subtle flecks. I wouldn't call it a 'vintage leather' finish though. Noticed some tip wear after a while but lasted well otherwise. I picked this up cheap and really wanted to try it, it is nice but not the leather look!

Application = 8/10

Finish = matte with flecks
Removal = easy

  4. Perhaps they named it the vintage leather because of the flakies, I mean wasted leather, kind of old and destroyed?
    Nice shade. I can't tell if it's my type of finish, I haven't worn these Maybellines...
