Girly Bits Hoop! There It Is! Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

*These products are Cruelty Free 

♥

Hi everyone! I'm back briefly with a new neon collection from Girly Bits called Hoop! There It Is!

Again I must continue to apologize for the state of my cuticles, but this time it's not the only thing for which I must be sorry. As I've mentioned before, I like polish and I do my best to show the polishes accurately but I am most definitely no photographer. Neons are just plain hard to capture anyway but for me, the hardest! So I have only one photo of most of this time and a few of them are cell photos.

The good news? They are STUNNING and they marble beautifully!

This collection launches TODAY! Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 11 am CDT (Noon EDT)

Nail of the Day: Pahlish Balneario

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Saturday! Today I have, as promised, Pahlish's Balneario to show you. This was the polish I used as the base for the Spooky Halloween Nail Vinyls Mani the other day.

Pahlish

Balneario

The thing about this polish is that it's pretty much a neon with micro-flakes, so it's not only great for Halloween, but for all seasons - depending on how you wear it. Today it's a bright reminder of summer.

Color Club Poptastic Nail Art - Summer 2014 Collection

Press Sample

Happy Sunday! Today I have a fun mani for you using the Color Club Poptastic Summer 2014 Collection - it's a neon toothpick marble!

Neon Toothpick Marble Nail Art

I will have full collection swatches for you soon but I had to have a little fun first!

I can tell you that overall, they are fantastic formula-wise. I used 2 coats of each one with no top coat of all but one of them. The "highlighter yellow" (Not So Mellow Yellow) wasn't as self-leveling as the others so 3 thin coats worked great for that one.

Top L-R: Not So Mellow Yellow, Peace Love & Polish and Right On
Bottom L-R: Bell Bottom Blue, Foxy Mama and Kapow!

I'm so happy to have a great neon summer collection of polishes with great formulas. There are some neons that I will battle formula on for the payoff but these remove the frustration-factor. So STAY TUNED for swatches!

What do you think? Have you picked any of these up yet?

Nail of the Day: piCture pOlish Hot Lips - and a Watermelon Comparison

Nothing to Disclose

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

piCture pOlish

Hot Lips

Hot Lips is a very saturated hot pink neon crelly that dries shiny rather than the typical semi-gloss neon finish. Three light coats with no top coat. And it's more neon in person. I would say that my camera hates neons but I have a sneaking suspicion I just haven't figured out how to photograph them properly.

piCture pOlish Sunset - Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose 

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Happy Monday!

It's foggy and misty and dreary here and way too warm for this time of year - so I broke out some HAPPY on my nails with piCture pOlish Sunset. It's a great coral neon pop of color to brighten the day.

piCture pOlish

Sunset

The photo above is in artificial lighting. Sunset is a truly neon shade of orange pink coral that applies like a crelly and doesn't photograph as neon as it actually is.

Here she is in indirect natural lighting...

The formula and application on Sunset were great and I had no issues at all. Two coats for opacity and one coat of top coat for the photo. Some neons are a little finicky as far as application, but this one applies like a crelly and I didn't have any streaking or drying too fast. Perfectly self-leveling.

This shade is available directly from piCture pOlish and through their Network. The Network brings piCture pOlish and Ozotic to you through their network of members worldwide. By clicking on The Network on their site, you will be given a list of Network Members all around the world who carry piCture pOlish and Ozotic shades. The Network Members for the US are Kim at Overall Beauty and Leah Ann at Llarowe and for Canada it's Katie at Harlow and Company.  This bottle came from Llarowe.

Color Club - East Austin

Press Sample 

*This product is Cruelty Free

Today was the first day of school here, as in many places. I thought I could almost hear the collective sighs of relief blending with the moans of anguish of parents and children respectively. Even I was ditching summer today for wishes of Autumn by wearing fall colors on my nails. So, I decided to show you one last glimpse of summer in all her glory with a coral.

Personal Collection

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Happy Sunday! Today I have a bright, cheerful "epitome of summer" polish to show you - piCture pOlish Citrus.

piCture pOlish Citrus

Citrus is a very bright neon tangerine orange creme. Formula and application were fabulous. No issues to report at all and it dries super shiny. These photos were taken with NO top coat although I did apply Poshe later to protect it. Two easy coats.

Red Dog Designs Neon Summer Sands Collection

Press Sample 

*These products are Cruelty Free 

♥

I'm so excited about the collection I have for you right now! This is the first indie brand to come out with SAND FINISH polishes and they're NEON!

*This collection will be available starting Friday, June 7, 2013 at approximately 3 PM EDT!*

I will warn you right up front that I couldn't do these polishes justice with my photos, try as I might. They are bright and neon and sparkly and the texture is perfect. If you remember, I've reviewed a few "textured" collections. I didn't like the Milani ones at all, but I DID like the Zoya Pixie Dust ones and these are my favorites by far.

Red Dog Designs Neon Sand Skittles

This collection consists of 6 bright shades:

Flamingo Bay - neon pink sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Coral Beach - neon orange sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Sunny Shores - neon yellow sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Palm Cove - neon green sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Caribbean Keys - neon blue sand texture polish with micro-glitters

Orchid Reef - neon purple sand texture polish with micro-glitters


The formula and application was the same on all 6 - no issues to report at all. I used two coats, letting them dry in between. Fantastic.


So let's have a look!


My favorite first, Orchid Reef...
