Neon Pink Nails




Jesses Girl high intensity nail color in "Baby Cakes"

 With Flash, no top coat

 No Flash, no top coat

 With flash, Top Coat
 PROS:

  • Bright neon color
  • Dry's matte
  • Affordable (3.99)
  • Dries fast


CONS:

  • Dry's matte
  • Streaky
  • Had to apply three coats

Neon's are great for Spring and Summer because it makes your skin look so tan! I found this polish at Rite aid for 3.99 which I thought was amazing. I was disappointed with the color pay off, I had to apply three coats for it to be even. It was also very streaking until I put a topcoat on to smooth everything out. I also found that if you do not let one coat dry completely until you apply the next one, it some how takes away the color. It is like a white board marker when you draw a line, and go back over it, it disappears. But thankfully this polish dry's fast so it didn't take me forever to paint my nails. I put "dry's matte" in the pros and cons because sometimes I like the matte effect but with neon's I always tend to like them very shiny. All in all I thought it was an ok polish, I just love the color. If you do not like the neon nails because they are too bright, adding designs on the nails with black and white polish tends to tone down the color. Below I show four different designs that are easy to do that helps to take away the Bright neon "in your face color."

    1. I heard that the Illamasqua nail polish in collide is an amazing neon pink, but it is so pricey! You can get it at Sephora for $14.00. I am still on the hunt for a more affordable one!

    1. I tried one other color by this brand and it wasn't as streaky and only took two coats. So I am thinking it was only the neon colors that were not good.
