#Maybelline100 Color Show Nail Colors

Maybelline is celebrating 100 years of helping make women look like they are “Born with It” with a limited-edition collection in collectible packaging.

Essie Neon 2015

Essie and China Glaze must be partying together, for they both used music culture as inspiration for summer collections.
