Models Own - Flip Flop

To be honest I don't wear neon too often, even during summers. Two years ago I was literally disgusted from neon polishes. Then last summer I got a neon pink Moyra polish, and I kinda liked it. And of course I saw Models Own Polish For Tans collection, but I said I could never wear them. Especially that ugly green one. Aaand for today I brought that ugly green Flip Flop for you. Don't ask me, I really don't know what changed my mind... I guess people just change.

So Flip Flop is that kind of ugly green, that just pops into your face. Literally eveyone takes notice of it within seconds.  I haven't seen so much neon green polishes in my life, but this one's the most neon of them. Like every neon polishes, it's recommended to apply over white base. For me it took 2 thicker coats. It dried a little slow, even after using Seche Vite, so that's not that great, but life can't be always easy. :D

I have to say I'm quite suprised, that I like it, or even use it. Though, it's still weird sometimes to see my nails being so bright and neon and green at the same time.
Do you use neon polishes? What are your favs? Feel free to recommend me more neons! :P

ILNP - Paige

Few months ago I realized, that however I own lots of pink holo polishes, for some reason they all are so light shades. So I really wanted to have something darker. Lucky me, ILNP solved this problem with Paige from the Ultra Holo collection.

As ILNP describes, it's berry pink, in my opinion it's not deep enought to be berry, let's say it's fuchsia. But we can call it whatever we like, it's just simply gorgeous. I needed three thinner coats for full coverage, but if you are tricky, it might take only two coats.

These Ultra Holos are so incredibly beautiful, I can't get enough of them. :)

F.U.N Lacquer - Galaxy

You might have already seen/read on Instagram, that I'm so excited about the new collection of F.U.N Lacquers and I'm literally going crazy wating for them to arrive. I needed something gorgeous from the brand to calm me down. :) So I picked Galaxy from my stash.

I've already read on different blogs that it doesn't cover perfectly even in three coats, and there's no way, that I apply four. What a waste would that be? So I applied OPI's Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm? from 2014 Nordic collection. It covers in two coats and is a really nice color, but it smells so weird. Not that strong cheap polish smell (u know what I mean), but something different and... well just weird. :D
But back to Galaxy. Purple and holographic glitters in sheer purple base. On my pics you can see its coverage in two coats. Since I had a base color under it, why not to add some gradient. I sticked two chevron nail vinyls on my ring finger, painted over the mid part with two coats of Galaxy and tadaaa! Easy peasy.

How do you like Galaxy? Did you pick anything from the new Summer 2015 collection?

China Glaze - Point Me To The Party

Let's get out of the magical world of indie polishes for a minute and take a look around at the salon brands too. Electric Nights is this year's neon collection from China Glaze. The neon polishes didn't impress me, there are much better ones in my opinion. Three glitter toppers belong to this collection, and Point Me To The Party looked so fun and unique, I thought it might be worth a try...

Point Me To The Party is a multicolor neon glitter in clear base. Sounds like fun? Well, sorry, but no. My first attempt turned out terribly. The base was so thick I couldn't apply one single wipe on my nails normally. But when I picked up more polish with the brush, it was impossible to handle the glitters. And then it became so thick, there were millions of tiny bubbles on my nails. I seriously felt like I forgot how to paint nails. So I get pissed off and removed it.
Then a few days later I gave it another try, but first I used a few drops of Seche Restore thinner. It became easier to work with, but there are still some bubbles left, you can see them in the pictures. The larger glitters were really hard to work with, so I just picked them up from the neck of the bottle and placed them onto my nails. Ant this is exactly what I hate to do with glitter polishes. I mean, if I want to play with glitters one by one, I'd buy glitter drops instead.

So I am quite dissapointed in this one, though the idea is good.  My camera didn't like the neon orange and pink glitters, but on my istagram you can see a pic I took with my phone. The glitters look better, but not the quality. :P

ILNP - Closure

So many ILNP polishes to wear lately, and one's more beautiful, than the other. It'd be time to pick up the phase swatching them. The only problem is that once I apply my next pick, I don't want to remove it. Like ever...

Next up is Closure from the Ultra Holo collection. Well it's red (as ILNP describes juicy apple red) and ultraholo. Do I even have to continue? It was enough to buy me with it. :)
The formula is just as good as Honor Roll's, easy application and covers in two coats.  And lots of lots of sparkle! The removal is easy, no mess, no red fingers and cuticles.

Since I'm obviously addicted to red holo polishes, I'm seriously thinking about a comparative post. How fun would that be? :P

F.U.N Lacquer - Storm

 When I first saw the swathces of F.U.N Lacquer Limited Edition 2015 collection, Storm was the first one that caught my attention. I think it's such an unexpected color from them, never would have guessed they'd come out with something like this. Which means, I had to have it...

Storm is a nice mauve shade, but because it would be too boring from F.U.N Lacquer, it is filled with holograpic glitters and silver flakies. The formula is thick, but the application is alrigh. Two coats on my nails. If you use thin top coat, I'd recommend two coats of it to even out the surface of your nails. 

Did you get any of the LE collection? Oh, and don't forget, that F.U.N Lacquer Summer 2015 collection releases this Saturday! ;)

ILNP - Honor Roll

Yesterday I finally recieved my ILNP order. It's a real torture to wait for pre-ordered polishes. :) I wasn't planning any nail art for 4th of July, but instead I start with Honor Roll, the blue polish from the new Ultra Holo colllection.

Honor Roll is a navy blue shade with intense holo effect. I mean really intense! It sparkles in the sunshine that much, that it hurts my eyes. But I don't mind, seriously who on earth would mind it? :D
The formula was good, a little thick, and the brush picked up a lot of polish, so I needed to be patient and careful, but it was okay. It covered my nails in two coats.

I can't wait to try my other Ultra Holos, and of course the ones from the Summer 2015 collection. But right now I want to enjoy Honor Roll just a little more. :)
Have you got anything of the two ILNP collections so far?

piCture pOlish - Tail Feather

You might have heard, that piCture pOlich discontinued some of their polishes, and although I would have a thousand new ones to swatch, I'll show you one of these discontinued PP shades.

Tail Feather is a mint green polish with multicolored shimmer. By multicolor I mostly mean silver, gold, blue and purple. Fortunately, this shimmer transfers onto the nails perfectly. The formula is quite thick, but still easy to work with. The base is sheer, so I needed to apply three coats.

I'm not the bigges fan of this shimmer combinaton, but the base color is that makes me love this polish. Not my most fav PP, but I like it more than I first expected. So, if you like it, grab it until you can!
