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
