My Experience With Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Matinee Mauve (605):

Packaging: The nail lacquer comes in a transparent glass bottle which has a black screw cap attached with an applicator brush. I have accidentally dropped the bottle once yet there wasn't a single scratch on it. The bottle is quite travel friendly.
Applicator Brush: The applicator brush is very convenient to use and doesn't cause any streaks at all. In fact, it is one of the smooth brushes I have used in the glitter mania series.
Shade & Texture: The shade is a frosty/metallic muted purple with micro shimmers and large hexagon silver shimmers. The shade will not only flatter fair skinned people but also looks good on dusky/wheatish hands. The shade has a beauty of its own. Though it looked a bit odd to me on long nails, it looks flattering on short clipped manicured nails. Once it gets dry, the texture looks rough and sand like. More than 2 coats will make the varnish too rough for the texture.

Pigmentation: The varnish comes semi-opaque with a single coat and double coat will make it absolutely opaque. Due to the presence of large amount of shimmers, the pigmentation is quite strong.
Staying Power: Glitter mania, apart from being beautifully glittering, is also famous for its amazing staying power. The varnish hardly chips even after a week. I would opine that it is absolutely awesome as far as the staying power is concerned.

Pros Of Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Matinee Mauve (605):

Final Note:

I have never been a fan of purple but this color made me fall in love with mauve. Given the fact that it flatters every skin tone, I shall recommend this color to everyone. The color is neither too loud nor too pale for your hands. It is perfect to wear for any occasion.
