Neon Skittles with Holo top coat

Hello :)

A group I am in decided to do a group manicure.

The theme is NEON.

I was really pressed for time.

This is simple contribution to NEON Friday.

I started with a white base and then added 

no name Island Girl neons on top.

I always wanted to holo my neons.

So, this was a perfect opportunity to try it.

The neon green and yellow were so bright, 

it was hard to see the holographic shimmer.

The orange and blue showed the pretty rainbows the best.

I used Hits Hefesto for the holo top coat btw :)

Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze Pool Party

Hey there!

Here is a bright neon pink for you to check out.

China Glaze Pool Party is a super fun color.

It was released in the Summer of 2010 Poolside Collection.

I also have Flip Flop Fantasy, Kiwi Cool-ada 

and Sun Worshipper from the same collection.

CLICK HERE for a review on the entire collection.

China Glaze Pool Party is shown here over a white base with 2 coats.

As usual, neon colors are hard to capture in pictures. 

I am sure you can tell it is a bright color though :)

I decided to add some holographic glitter to the mani.

Funky Fingers Sand and Stilettos fit the bill just right.

I just dabbed on a bit of it on the top and then

added a couple coats of top coat to smooth it out.

I have been wanting to wear more of my holographic polishes.

But, the constant rain all summer has me wearing my beloved neons.

Thanks for stopping by!

Island Girl Hula Girl with Icing Black Shredded

Hey! 
This is another neon Island Girl polish.

Island Girl Hula Girl (cutest name ever) is a neon duo chrome.

Hula Girl is a glow-y neon orange that has shifts of pink.

Up close you can see the tiny pink shimmers.

I started with a base of Essie Blanc (white)

and then I added 2 coats of Hula Girl.

I thought it looked plain, so I decided to

try Icing Black Shredded on top.

I kind of regretted it. 

The rough looking black chunks went against 

the dreaminess of Hula Girl.

Like a cheerleader trying to be goth, it was hard to accept.

Haha.

I received this as a gift from my sweet friend on Facebook.

She also sent me 6 other full sized polishes that I hope

to show you before the summer is over.

I added a picture below so you could see the entire gift.

Thanks for stopping by!

See? Friends are awesome!

Island Girl Neons

Hey! I hope your weekend was good.

Mine went by pretty darn quick, as usual. :)

We saw Monster's University with the kids.

Very cute enjoyable movie.

I have some mini bottles of Island Girl neons to show you.

 I received this as a gift from a sweet Facebook friend from Colorado.

She bought these for me while she was on a vacation trip to Las Vegas.

Super sweet of her!

Island Girl polishes are only available in Las Vegas and Hawaii in stores.

They are also available online at ABCSTORES (click)

I went on my honeymoon back in August 2000 

to the wonderful big island of Hawaii.

I fell in love with the culture of the people and the island itself.

Since then, anything Hawaiian related I have been drawn to.

I named my daughter (who is 8 years old now) Leilani.

Leilani is a Hawaiian name that means heavenly or royal child of heaven.

So, when I saw this brand of polish, I knew I had to try and get some.

None of these mini bottles have a name labeled on them.

The formulas were typical of neons.

I did not put a base coat of white, so this is them all alone.

The blue and pink is 2 coats.

The green, orange and yellow are 3 coats.

I added these cute nail stickers I found at Walmart for $2.

Really good price for great stickers.

Then 1 coat of HK Girl top coat.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kiko 401

 

Kiko 401 (3 coats)

Top coat

Hey! Today is another holographic polish. 

This one was given to me by a sweet lady from Italy for my birthday.

It was a wish list polish.

So, of course I wanted it because of other reviews 

and swatches that I have seen and read.

Most of what I read said the formula was great.

For me, this polish had a funky formula.

What I mean by that is, it is thick, 

like Color Club holo (Worth the Risque).

The holographic pay of is about the same

 as the older Color Clubs, too.

However, it was streaky and seemed like 

it should have been opaque in 1 coat.

But, I kept getting weird patches. 

I even waited 10 minutes between coats.

The last 2 coats were just to try and cover

 the weird patches I had.

Because the formula is thick,

 it took a long time to dry with 3 coats.

The color of this polish is gorgeous though. 

Its "Peacock Green", but its more like a medium light blue 

with hints of green at certain angles, but mostly just blue.

You can see in my pictures that I took them in different degrees of sun.

The top photo is in direct sunlight.

The below photo is through my dark tint in my car window with sun light.

 

Below is another photo of Kiko 401 in direct sunlight.

Below is Kiko 401 in the shade.

Sorry for the blurry pic.

 And on Saturday I went to Magnetic Music Festival.

 I wore neon skittle nails.

 And by the way DJ Flux Killed it!
