China Glaze Poolside Collection - Design Nail Arts

YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI
Very bright neon yellow. A bit hard to work with, I had to do four coats. I think white polish under would solve the problem. Still nothing one can´t handle and the result is worth it. It really shines!


SUN WORSHIPER
A beautiful neon orange. This will make a great pedi color. It was also a bit harder to work with. But I expected that and again used four coats.



FLIP FLOP FANTASY
I love the name of this bright coral neon. It is a lot on the pink side and I just love that. This applied very nice, three coats.



 POOL PARTY
This stuff is radioactive! I think it is the brightest of the whole collection. A hot pink neon. I will be wearing Pool Party a lot in the summer, I am sure of that. Great application, had no problems. Three coats.



TOWEL BOY TOY
Another great name for a polish. This is the only one with shimmer and I wouldn´t call it a neon, although it dries matte. It a beautiful blue with shimmer. I added a picture in the sun, so that you can see it. My favourite of the collection. Three coats.




KIWI COOL-ADA
Neon green, very bright. This applied very nice, although four coats were needed. I don´t have anything like this and again it will be a great pedi color.





Overall I really like this collection. Some of them were harder to apply, but if you follow the application tips, you are ok :) In this collection, you get all you need for summer. Fun, bright neon colors, that will make you always stand out! Can´t wait to walk on the beach with these beauties!
P.S. too bad there is not a purple neon, but I want a purple polish in every collection, so don´t listen to me :P

Acrylic Reds-Design Nail Arts

Thumb

- Nubar Ruby, index finger - OPI Crimson Carol, middle finger - OPI Smitten With Mittens, ring finger - China Glaze Stroll, pinky - Orly Glam. I have 2 coats of all the colors with Essie Good To Go! top coat. About Ruby, Crimson and Smitten I already wrote in Glittery Reds - Part 1, here. Stroll is a purple toned red with tiny purple and pink glitters and larger gold glitters/glass flecks. It´s the most sheer color from all of them in one coat (then Orly and Nubar; the other are pretty opaque). Orly Glam is not so purple as Stroll, but it´s a purple-brown toned red with tiny siver glitters (they are the smallest from all five polishes and almost invisible). I think Orly is the least interesting color from all five and has the most rough surface from them all (then Nubar; the other dry pretty smooth). All the colors are very close to the reality on the second picture except for Smitten which is darker in real life.

China swatches - China Glaze Vintage Vixen 2010 -From Design Nail Arts

Thumb - Ingrid, index finger - Midnight Mission, middle finger - Bogie, ring finger - Emerald Fitzgerald, pinky - First Class Ticket. I have 2 coats of all the colors with Seche Vite top coat. They all are beautiful good covering colors. Bogie doesn´t dry shiny much. I love Ingrid, Midnight Mission and Emerald Fitzgerald but my unexpected favorite is Midnight Mission! It dries so shiny! Which of them do you like?/ Palec - Ingrid, ukazováček - Midnight Mission, prostředníček - Bogie, prsteníček - Emerald Fitzgerald, malíček - First Class Ticket. Mám dvě vrstvy všech barev s nadlakem Seche Vite. Krásné dobře krycí barvy. Bogie je zajímavý, ale mrzí mě, že neschne úplně do leskla. Moc se mi líbí Ingrid, Midnight Mission a Emerald Fitzgerald, ale můj nečekaný favorit je Midnight Mission! Je tak lesklý a krásný! Na žádných fotkách na internetu ani na mých jeho krása rozhodně není vidět! Po dlouhé době mi známí pochválili zase nějaký lak a byl to právě Midnight Mission :)





Chinese Glaze Midnight Mission - To Design Nail Arts

I love this color. It´s not so blue as on my pictures. Deep blue with silver microglitter in real life. Dries so smooth and shiny! I have 2 coats with Seche Vite top coat. One of my favourites from Vintage Vixen collection./ Tak toto je jedna z mých nejoblíbenějších barev z kolekce Vintage Vixen. Už jsem se o ní zmiňovala. Není tak modrá jako na fotkách, ve skutečnosti spíš temnější modrá se stříbrnými mikroglitry. Schne do hladka a krásně kovově se leskne. Až bych řekla, že na fotkách je Mission škaredý, ve skutečnosti krásný. Když mi přišla lahvička, nechtělo se mi ho lakovat, skoro jsem se ho chtěla zbavit bez vyzkoušení. To bych byla totální blázen... Mám dvě vrstvy s nadlakem Seche Vite.
