Colorama 40 Graus-
Literally, ‘Graus’ means degree in Portuguese, so I am
guessing the translation is 40 degrees. Anyway, it is a very, very, very pretty
red colour which dries up quickly and
lasts without any chipping for at least
3 days. I have never been keen on the colour red, personally, I adore pink but
I saw this shade and I just had to get it. I saw two shades of red in the
Colorama range and this one appealed to me more. The other shade is called
paixao, literal translation is ‘passion’.
On the label it says, verniz which means ‘varnish or
lacquer’. You will need at least two coats for opacity.
Price- Rs. 85 for
8ml

Colorama Intenso
Black-
This one had things written in Spanish. Maybe this different
language for different shades has its logic; I haven’t been able to grasp it.
Anyway, the label on this says ‘creamy intense black’ in Spanish. Single coat
of this shade had nothing intense about it, you will need two coats for sure. I
don’t know about the claim of the enamel being creamy since I was definitely
not planning to eat it :P
Price: Rs 79 for
8 ml which I think is the best news about this black. Where else will you find
a brand that charges less for its black colour?!

Ingredients:
There is a label on
the back with the ingredients but it has been printed in such a small font that
I couldn’t read it even after squinting!
One thing that I could make out was some alcohol. One fine day, I will
buy that magnifying lens owned by detectives and then I will be able to tell
you what else was in it.
However, on
blowing up I was able to make out a few names like Butyl Acetate, Ethyl
Acetate, Citric Acid (Vitamin C) and Silica.
Pros:
- 8ml for 85! What else do you want?
- Considering it is from Maybelline, you don’t have to worry about what you’re applying on your nails.
Cons:
- I think they should increase the font of ingredients a bit.
- They claim it has a 5-day wear. The only way I will be able to manage it is if I don’t do any of my daily chores.
- I have not been able to find the range of colours mentioned in the site at one place, not even online.
Final Verdict:
I have been eyeing
the shade Coral Chic for quite some time but it was out of stock. So, that’s a
yes!
