Maybelline Color Show Blue Blowout

This is Maybelline Color Show Blue Blowout.  It is another polish from the CVS clearance sale.  This is a fairly unique color.  It is between a silver and turquoise with a metallic finish. You could get by with one thick coat of polish and no top coat and it dries quickly.  Unfortunately it chipped in 3-4 days on me, which is not good.  The average polish wears 5 days on me and a good polish will wear 6-7 days.  Since it chips, I won't be getting a lot of Maybelline, but I do like that you can slap it on and run out the door.
EDIT:  As someone else on the internet pointed out, these are 0.23 oz, less then half the size of a 0.5 oz OPI or Zoya.  If you pay 4$ a bottle for these, that makes them on par with Zoya, OPI, and Essie prices per ounce.  They are definitely not worth that price tag IMHO.
EDIT:  This one stains nails blue.

Maybelline Color Show Navy Narcissist

This is the first time I've tried Maybelline Color Show.  This one is Navy Narcissist.  It is a metalic navy.  It is a true one coater.  It is not a "you could get by with one coat" or a "needs one thick coat" polish.  It is a "put on one regular coat and go".  I always, always do two coats, but I felt zero need for a second coat of polish.  I added a top coat, but you could easily get by without one.  I haven't tested Maybelline to see how long this polish wears on me yet.  I'm in a polish changing kind of mood at the moment.  It is on 50% clearance at CVS right now.
EDIT:  Someone else on the internet pointed out that these bottles contain 0.23 oz and your average polish (OPI, Zoya, etc.) contain 0.5 oz.  If you pay the CVS full price of 4$, that makes these a similar price per ounce as OPI and Zoya.  They are definitely not worth that price IMHO.
