Maybelline Express Finish Flash of Gold

Maybelline Flash of gold nail polish swatches

This Summer, Maybelline introduces nine juicy colors to the Express Finish Line called, The Flash of Gold collection. Each limited editon color is a semi sheer texture that has flecks of gold shimmer in each bottle.

Today I'm bringing you six out of the nine shades from Maybelline. Each color is a gorgeous jelly like texture that has gold flecks and some matching shimmer.

The only downfall to these beauties, they are pretty sheer compared to China Glaze's Summer Days collection.

Most colors needed a good three coats or more to obtain bottle color, with the exception of the reds, which only needed around two.

Check out all the swatches below.

Maybelline Aqua Electric nail polishes

Maybelline Flash of Gold nail collection

Aqua Electric, one of my favorites, described as an Aqua blue with flecks of gold and blue.

Maybelline Magenta Shock nail polish

Maybelline Flash of Gold nail collection

Magenta Shock, a light magenta pinkish purple. This one applied pretty sheer, you'll need four coats for bottle color.

Maybelline Fuchsia Fire nail polish

Fuchsia Fire, a light pink with flecks of gold. A much lighter version of China Glaze's Strawberry Fields.

I'll be giving away one bottle of Fuchsia Fire to one of my lucky subscribers this week.

Maybelline Feiry flash of gold nail polish

Fiery, a reddish orange with flecks of gold.

Maybelline Express Finish Manadrin Heat

 Manadrin Heat, a coral with flecks of gold.

Maybelline's Flash of Gold collection is now available for a limited time only and retails around $3.99/each. Have a wonderful Monday!

So these are in the stores now? I think I want a red, either Blazing Berry or Fiery. The Fuchsia Fire looks nice too, but it doesn't look fuchsia in the picture, more of a medium pink.

I like the Mandarian Heat and Firey. Do the flecks make it hard for polish to come off when using remover?

They all look pretty. I like all the reds the best.

Hi Dee, Yes, they should be in stores now. Although, around here, they've been pretty hard to find. Hi Brooklynshoebabe, No, you shouldn't have any problems removing these :) Lucy, Thanks! The reds are definitely more opaque than the others! Hi Smartchic, Thanks! :)

    I tried the "Thinking of Blue" color last night and was very impressed with the wide applicator brush. I actually like it better becuase it provides full coverage. The color is vibrant and funky. I absolutely love the shades. I think that this new line will give Opi a run for its money and I'm an avid Opi girl. However, change can be good. : )

    I used to be a strictly OPI girl but when I went shopping for a new spring shade and the selection where I went was picked over I took a chance and tried this in Shell We Dance. The application was easy with the brush reminding me of the Pro Wide style OPI uses. Also the wear is very long lasting and keeps my super thin and brittle nails from breaking and peeling. At a few dollars more than OPI per bottle...I\'m sold!

    I totaly dig Reclaim. Love HOLOs! Wildlife also rocks!

    Elena said, on Mar 4th, 2010 8:22 am regarding Going Green: Nubar Reclaim Nail Polish
    I picked up Greener, Wildlife, Forest and Reclaim. Reclaim and Wildlife stand out because they are unique, but Greener is still a stunner in my book.
