Maybelline Fashion Week 2010 Collection

Above: Top Row L-R-Charming Cobalt, Berry Fancy, Pretty in Purple, Chic Chocolate. Bottom Row L-R-Divine Wine, Grand in Green.

I saw these in Walgreen's, and because I have a soft spot for Maybelline polishes and I thought it was a beautiful collection, I thought it best to get them! These are in a tabletop display with 2 slots for each color. There is another Fashion Week Collection from Maybelline that has 2 additional polish shades and some cosmetics in it, but I didn't see that one out yet.

This collection appears to have 3 shimmers and 3 cremes. Based on the bottle looks, the most interesting ones to me are of course, Grand in Green, and also Chic Chocolate. The word chocolate is a little deceiving, because this looks to be a rich darkened red shimmer with a black base. A quick swatch does reveal a hint of brown at certain angles though. I'm excited to swatch these because the formula seems to be the right consistency, the brushes aren't wonky, and the shades are on trend for Fall in a big way. I've got swatches of my 2 Favorite Picks on a couple of nails right now and I must say, I'm very impressed.
