China Glaze - Bottoms Up

I've been loving China Glaze's summer neon polishes, so no surprise that I have another one to show you!  This is Bottoms Up (LOVE the name) and it is a neon Barbie pink.  It is girly and perfect for summer.  This is two coats, but it could have probably used one more because it was a little thin.  It dries semi-matte, so I put a top coat on to make it glossy.




China Glaze - That's Shore Bright

This is another gorgeous neon color from China Glaze's Summer 2013 neon collection.  That's Shore Bright is a neon lilac/light purple color.  It's super fun and different than any other neon purple color's I've seen.  Sorry about my dry cuticles, as much as I moisturize them, they are still terrible...  This is two coats and I DIDN'T even need to put a base of white down!  It does have a semi matte finish as do most neon polishes, but with my top coat, it is glossy.  :)





What are some other fun neon colors for summer?

Color Club - London Calling

I received Color Club's London Calling from my June Birchbox.  It is a Birchbox exclusive color for their Wanderlust collection.  If you are interested in getting them, they are on Birchbox's website here.  The colors are gorgeous pastel neons.  There is lavendar, coral, off-white, and this mint green.  I LOVE the color and wore it during my vacation to San Francisco last week.  I got many compliments on it!

I used two coats.  It is very creamy and opaque and I didn't have to put white underneath it to get that 'neon kick'.  I really liked it.  The only down fall is that it 'cracked' after a few days.  Some polishes peel and others just crack.  It stayed put on my nails, it just had little lines throughout it.  Other than than, I really like this polish.

P.S.  This is one of those colors that makes you look super tan.  Bonus!






What bright/neon colors are you loving this summer?

Ruby Wing's 'Peony' Color Changing Polish

I received Peony by Ruby Wing in a Birchbox last month.  I had never heard of this brand.  Aside from it being a great summer neon color, the thing that excited me the most is that it changes color in the sun!!!  Fun right!?  It goes from a neon coral color to a neon darker coral color.

It is really sheer.  I used three coats and it probably could have used four.  Next time, I'll use this over a white polish to help.  For an accent nail, I used China Glaze's 'Refresh Mint' which is one of my favorite mint colored polishes. 






Are there any other color changing polishes you have used?  I'd be interested to hear what other brands make them.

butter LONDON - Lady Muck

Here is Lady Muck.  About a month after I first got this color a year ago, I regretted it.  I just didn't like the color as much as I thought I would.  I haven't worn this since the first time I tried it, and I thought I'd give it another chance.  I am happy to report that I have a new found love for Lady Muck.  It is a dusty light blue with silver/grey shimmer.  I am wearing two coats here.


I really like this color for spring.  It has a little pop of color without being too overwhelming.





One of my favorite thing about butter LONDON polishes is that they have incredible wear time.  Lady Muck is no exception to that.
