NEW! Maybelline New York Color Show™ Nail Lacquer Daring Shades and Textures Bring Runway Drama… to the Fingertips And Introducing the Hottest New Way to try on virtual Nail Color with the NEW Blippar App!
Maybelline New York is taking over the runway with a new
line of nail color that‟s the ultimate ready-to-wear accessory. Maybelline New York, the
fashion and color authority, introduces new Color Show Nail Lacquer, offering the
hottest shades and coolest trends ripped straight from the catwalks.
Color Show is comprised of two distinct families: Hot Colors and Statement Pieces.
Hot Colors offers a range of 30 captivating and daring high fashion shades – from bold
tangerines to electric teals. Statement Pieces allow you to make an impact, offering the
ultimate runway designs for nails with 10 exclusive, textured finishes inspired by textile
classics – including denim, metallic and shredded effects. Nails go from super casual to
ultra haute with the quick swipe of a brush. The Color Show range of shades is
extensive for the truly color obsessed and choosing favorite shades of Color Show has
never been more fun or easy!
Maybelline New York is leveraging market-leading augmented reality technology from
Blippar to allow users to virtually try on shades. Users can download the free Blippar
app (available at Apple or Android app stores) and scan the Color Show advertisement
to try on all forty colors. The experience allows users to take a picture of their virtual
nails, which they can save to their phone, email to a friend, share on Facebook or tweet.
Fans can also visit Maybelline.com/ColorShow to explore the Color Wheel and learn
how to take their favorite shades from the catwalk to the sidewalk. The experience
extends to a Color Show board on Maybelline‟s Pinterest page, where fans can peruse
shades of the nail lacquer along with coordinating fashion and accessory items.
Like any worthy accessory, Color Show Nail Lacquer is made to last. The formula
offers superior performance in three ways: a transparent suspension gel holds
concentrated pigments in their truest form, resulting in crisper color payoff, high shine
and less separation; the exclusive flexible resin resists chipping and allows for a smooth
and controlled application. When combined with a new, Easy Flow Brush, application
becomes virtually mistake-free. The formula is formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free.“We are thrilled to bring our consumers a completely new, fresh and different nail color
line that takes its inspiration from the runways,” says Ali Goldstein, Vice President of
Marketing for Maybelline New York. “As the Official Cosmetics Sponsor of MercedesBenz Fashion Week in New York, we see so many inspirational colors and textures
come down the runways each season. As the color cosmetics authority, we look to bring
the „catwalk to the sidewalk‟ for our consumers and nail color is one of the best places to
do this.”
Color Show Nail Lacquer is available at select mass retailers nationwide beginning
June 2012. With a suggested retail price of $3.99, it‟s one trend that won‟t break the
bank.
Maybelline New York is available in over 129 countries worldwide. As the official makeup sponsor of
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Maybelline New York combines technologically advanced formulations with
on-trend expertise to create accessible cosmetics with a spirited style. For more information, log onto
