I think this is my holy grail yellow which I never could quite get right when I’d try different ones.
It’s like a neon version of a perfect pastel yellow without gold in it!
Look how it seems to glow in the dark car or the park at dusk 🙂
My favorite yellow was always American Apparel – Butter ( https://hollyshimmerspark.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/american-apparel-butter/ ), but now these are my two favorites!
The top one is Orly – Worth Millions and the bottom is China Glaze – Whip It.
The main difference is that Worth Millions is more neon, and Whip It is more pastel. 🙂
I stamped with BM – XL26, the binary design. 🙂
It’s so super bright in the sun! The swatch last night was in horrible lighting… Sorry about that!
I love this perfect, smooth, super-bright neon pink!
I put it over Zoya Aspen (their shimmery matte white). It is awesome over white to make the color pop.
It looks like it’s glowing. 🙂
I have had Black Spotted for a few years and never tried it, so I finally opened it!
I’ve never posted a pedicure here before, but I had to do this quickly as my little sweetie pie napped… Didn’t have time to do toes and nails!
I started with half neon yellow and half neon pink, then I applied it on top.
The awesome neon colors are from the China Glaze Lite Brites. Whip It Good (yellow) and Lip Smackin’ Good (pink). Love these colors!
The tag on the Black Spotted bottle says to use a very thin layer.
It came out looking pretty cool, but not the round spots that I expected after looking at other swatches online. I will be playing with this one again to figure it out.
When you have a 2 year old, you don’t have a lot of time to re-do your nails! You’re lucky to get to do them in the first place. 🙂
I had to get Surreal Appeal from the Cirque collection. It turned out to be the perfect pinkish coral creme that is bright but not a neon.
I grabbed 3 other China Glaze pinks and compared them all. The pinky nail is actually Flip Flop Fantasy but I hate that the camera can NOT capture that color no matter what I try. I went to Google Images to search for an accurate Flip Flop Fantasy swatch and there aren’t any! They all look like their cameras freaked out as well, so all I can say is…. go get it, its one of my most favorite polishes ever and you just don’t know what its like until you put it on your own nails. 🙂
Anyway, the others came out really accurately though! The bottle is Surreal Appeal, so you can see it ends up darker on the nail.
Here is a shadier swatch, followed by one with a little more light. Its Wicked Style, Sugar High, Surreal Appeal. Let’s just ignore the pinky. 🙂
After comparing these, I found I don’t even like Sugar High as much anymore, its a little too blue-ish for my skin tone.
I tried to swatch this with China Glaze – Flirty Tankini because it is really hard to tell them apart, but I have to swatch in our new place at a certain time of day to get the right indirect sun!
I chose to wear Bubble Pop instead of Flirty Tankini because it was just a tiny bit brighter! Flirty Tankini had more of a vintage coral look and Bubble Pop was more neon and summery. But again, they are really hard to tell apart still, if that makes sense. 🙂
Here is Color Club – Bubble Pop!
It was hard to really depict how neon it is though, so I tried to get a more shady picture so you can see the Pop more. It is REALLY hard to photograph these summer neon polishes!
I am so excited that OPI – German-icure and Every Month Is Oktoberfest are on the way to my house!
I’m trying to get settled into my new home here, which includes trying to find a new spot for swatching! As you’ll see, I haven’t found the right spot yet. But I didn’t want it to keep me from swatching my favorite new China Glaze neon!
Pink Plumeria
This one really surprised me! I didn’t expect it to be so shimmery! The pop kind of comes from a milky shimmer underneath, and then if you look closely, you can see this really warm hidden shimmer that comes out at certain angles.
I got the Pixi Glow polish too, and it looks similar in the bottle, I’ll have to do a comparison!
Belated Giveaway Winners next! So sorry for the worst delay ever, but hopefully a wedding, honeymoon and moving in with the new hubby is a good enough excuse that I’ll only use once!? 😀
I wore this one for days and days, until it was just about to fall off. I loved it so much! I put it on the night we went roller skating at this old historic roller rink in LA.
So if you look at my last post, I started with the China Glaze – Shocking Pink, but then I took the Color Club – Screamin Fuschia and went over it in places so that it had a neon pink with neon reddish pink blend. I stamped over it with Konad Black Pearl.
The plate I used for this one was A10, which you can actually buy at that place in the link root, but I think I got it from TransDesign or ChezDelaney.
It isn’t summer anymore so I guess I won’t be doing neon again for a while!
Why is it so impossible to photograph neon polishes? Even when I do everything manually and set white balance, color balance, etc while I’m shooting…
I’ll give this a go anyway in case you were curious if some neon pinks/reds are more orange than another!
I did this to help me choose my neon konad which I’ll post next!
China Glaze – Shocking Pink, BYS – UV Tension Rising, Color Club – Screamin Fuschia, American Apparel – Neon Red:
I tried taking it in a dark corner of my room, but the colors still look like they are just blaring and not true to what they really look like. Wahhh!
You can see my engagement ring a little better though! 🙂
I don’t wear orange but my step-mom loves neon orange lately so I got her these!
From left to right, China Glaze – Japanese Koi, OPI – Osaka To Me Orange:
Japanese Koi is super bright and Osaka To Me Orange was a little more dull so layering them seemed like a good balance!
I want to change my nail polish but my sprained wrist/hand makes it impossible to paint one of the hands… argh!
This was some experimenting I did before the french manicure that I posted in my last post!
First, I put a layer of ManGlaze – Mayonnaise on, so that I could see what these hot pinks were going to look like over white!
Here is a swatch, its a matte white polish with some shimmer!
Here were my hot pinks and one neon green I was going to try while I was at it:
From left to right, those are Color Club – Screamin Fucshia, Konad – Psyche Pink, Sally Hansen – Sonic Bloom, a Kiss nail art polish in Bikini Coral, Revlon Scented – Raspberry Rapture, Sally Hansen – Orange You Cute, Zoya – Ali, Illamasqua – Lament, Diamond Cosmetics nail art polish in neon green, Essie – Pink Parka, and Zoya – Lolly
The 3 on the right didn’t work at all (Diamond Cosmetics nail art polish in neon green, Essie – Pink Parka, and Zoya – Lolly)! But all of the ones on the right did!
Here they are stamped with the new bundle monster plates!
I love how every time I go to look up an Orly swatch on Google Images, I see this among all of the nails. HAHA!
Cracks me up every time.
Anyways, onto Electro Candy. I tried so hard to capture the bright green hidden shimmer that this hot pink has but I failed miserably. It looks like a normal shimmer, but I promise, the shimmer really is bright green. Cool, huh!?
My favorite hot pink is when you get right up to the line of almost reddish, so when I saw Sneakerhead, I was so excited! It looked like my favorite fluorescent red! I’m not too sure this looks good on my nails still, I just love to look at it.
Since it is more jelly-ish than creme-ish, it dries pretty red. I’ll probably use it to make a franken with a little bit of hot pink.
For now, here is Sneakerhead:
