Serum No. 5 Atomic Peach, Best Witches and Second Spring and a Charity Event

*These products are Cruelty Free 



Serum No. 5
Atomic Peach, Best Witches and Second Spring




Stay with me after the jump for swatches, reviews and a special announcement!




First up, Atomic Peach. This one is described by the maker as follows: This peachy nude with subtle shimmer looks demure in the day but packs a punch in the dark, it’s an Atomic Peach. Please note that due to the nature of the glow pigments that I use, this polish may have a matte finish, but top coat can be applied without affecting the glow.

Perfect description. I used this one alone with two coats and one coat of top coat. No issues at all. The formula was great and applied easily. The glow-in-the-dark properties are WOW - strong and long-lasting.





-------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Witches is a grey jelly base with various sizes of hex glitters in yellow and lavender matte and blue metallic, small white squares and silver micro-glitter. The glitters all came out of the bottle easily and spread nicely on the nail. They're well-suspended in the jelly base. I used two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos, but for a more opaque look, I'd advise three coats. No issues at all to report!







-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, Second Spring. "Albert Camus said it best: Autumn is a Second Spring when every leaf is a flower."  This one is an off-white or ivory base with a bright mix of glitters in various shapes and sizes including hot pink, light green, blue, magenta and yellow. 

No issues to report. The glitters all came out great and spread easily. I would recommend 3 light coats of this one rather than the 2 regular coats I did for the photos. One coat of top coat.

What do you think of these three? Favorite? I'm telling you, the glow on Atomic Peach is BAM! And it lasts! Atomic Peach is pretty in daylight OR dark so I'm picking that as my favorite of these three.
