China Glaze, Pool Party.
Check out this awesome red/orange neon my friend, Abbey, sent to me!
Sunlight.
It was super hard to get a good picture because it is so bright it freaked out my camera/phone.
Sunlight, again.
Pool Party is from the Poolside Collection which was released for the Summer of 2010. I've also got Kiwi Cool-Ada & Flip Flop Fantasy from this collection. Formula is a little on the sheer side and I did have some visible nail line but it wasn't enough to bother me. You can always use an opaque white base under neons but I honestly don't mind a little bit of VNL; especially when the formula self levels well (which this did). I used 2 coats for most nails but a few nails did require a 3rd coat, for some reason a few of them looked sheerer than the rest but that's probably due to my application. Consistency was on the thin and runny side but I didn't experience any pooling at the cuticle because I didn't load up my brush too much. The first coat was definitely too sheer and very uneven but the 2nd pretty much evened everything out. It dried to a satin matte finish so I used a coat of ACI's In A Hurry Quick Dry Top Coat.
On my ring nail I applied one coat (using the dabbing method) of Dance Legend, Rio 3; a mix of square neon glitters. A very fun topper. I've used this before in a mani but I wanted to add a little something and this was perfect. I actually did my toes in Pool Party too but put this glitter on top of all my toes. It's a neon party on my toes!
Indoors.
You can see just how bright this polish is in this last photo.
How are you spending your last week of summer?
