I may have posted my Spring/Summer 2012 Nail Polish Picks video yesterday but that doesn't stop me from going HAM at the drugstore (Shoppers Drug Mart, for all my Canadian ladies) when I saw a shiny new Essie collection on display. Throw in a Sally Hansen glitter for good measure.
Seriously though how amazing are these shades? From pink to yellow - Lights, Camera and Action. The Sally Hansen glitter is called "Ring a Ding" and it's glorious.
I heard that the yellow-orange shade "Action" is a pain to apply and I must agree... it's nowhere near as co-operative as the others and it does dry down darker. A great tip that I have to get it to show up true to colour is to use a white nail polish as a base (I'm sure that something like Butter London Nail Foundation could work too).
I find neon nail polishes like these to be the perfect way to incorporate this summer trend into your "wardrobe" without shelling out the money on neon clothes and accessories. I personally am not the most colourful dresser so for me a splash of neon on the nails paired with airy blush, white and beige clothes for summer sounds just right.
What's your take on the neon craze?
I love Essie's tart deco and Nicki Minaj for Opi Did it on em. Tart deco isn't that neon, but it's such a gorgeous colour. Both get me lots of compliments.
ReplyDeleteI really want 'Lights' by Essie<3
ReplyDeleteAh may need these colours!
ReplyDeleteGreat shades and perfect for spring and summer!
ReplyDeleteButter London's Nail Foundation is the best! I never used to use a base coat and now I am addicted! Highly Recommend!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely picking up lights and action. china glaze flip flop fantasy is one of my favorite neons for summer. amazing on the toes!
ReplyDeleteI picked up Lights and Camera today. I like that they are bright but only a touch neon.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE neon and I think that neon nails are an instant upgrade to a neutral outfit. Super eye catching und fun :).
ReplyDeleteThese look perrrrfect for summer. I love Essie's Fiji with Models Own pink glitter! X
ReplyDeleteWow, those Essie colours are amazing! I especially love the coral one in the middle, 'Camera' I think? Gorgeous!

I agree, I'd rather wear a neon nail polish than clothes/accessories, it's a much cheaper way to participate in the craze as you called it haha!
ReplyDeleteEssie is becoming my favourite nail polish brand, I need to get my hands on those shades!

They are so pretty! Especially the Sally Hansen one!
ReplyDeleteI have a shade of neon pink that I love wearing! And I agree, it's a great way to be 'trendy' without spending hundreds of dollars on bags/clothes/etc. Neon clothing isn't exactly my style, but neon nails? I can handle those. :D
ReplyDeleteI am loving Essie 'Knockout Pout' for my summer dose of neon!
ReplyDeleteAction looks AMAZING with a tan. @Alma I have tart deco and I have to agree. It's a fantastic color to own.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I also love how you can pull off an insane neon nail polish a lot more easily than an item of clothing the same color. xx
ReplyDeleteI love that Lights polish! Thanks for sharing :)

Those Essie polishes are gorgeous. I'm like disgustingly obsessed with neon nails right now. China Glaze 'Celtic Sun' is one of my favorites.

I want all of the new Essie colors!! I have that Sally and I LOVE the pinky gold coppery glitter combo - it looks amazing over peachy colors like Van D Go! :)
ReplyDeleteUh oh.. must fight temptation to make a rather large online Essie order.. X
ReplyDeleteLove neon but after buying 8 Essie nail varnishes I am not so sure I like them. I feel like I have to use 3 coats to get the color the manicurist seems to get in 2. What do they do that we dont do!?
ReplyDeleteI love theseee!
