Twilight Rays

I'm sure many of you have seen the Maybelline Color Show display at your local drugstore. From the large selection of various colors, it seems like a pretty good line--especially considering that it's coming from a drugstore brand! At first, I was rather indifferent about their line-up because none of the colors really stood out to me; however, after checking out their display for what seemed like the bazillionth time, I thought Twilight Rays was nice, and so it came home with me!

Twilight Rays is a black creme laced with golden glass flecks. The formula was a tad watery, but it wasn't too bad. I used two coats for my mani and it seemed perfect until I went outside and the sun revealed its patchiness, so I would definitely recommend using three coats for this polish.
This color sat in my untrieds for so long because it seems underwhelming next to other colors, but I quite like it. I'm totally digging the glass flecks, and it's not a bad shade for layering, either. I added LA Girl Synergy to my thumb and ring finger for some extra oopmh.

Do you have any of the Maybelline Color Show polishes? What do you think of this line?

I've had that polish in my hands so many times and always put it back! It's a little underwhelming and dark. Thanks for solving that debate for me!!
