Pop neons

Hey guys!! I'm so excited to finally share these! My husband picked these up for me on a recent trip to New York...I've never heard of this brand before but they had a ton of colors! He found them in a Duane Reade in Times Square. I requested a few neons because, believe it or not, I have no neons! Well, I do have one, its a lime green Salon Perfect, and I've only used it once (for my Seattle Seahawks nails I did here )

I just love the bottles too! They are thin rectangular bottles. How awesome are these colors??? BOY ARE THEY BRIGHT!!!

This is twelve, Pinky (they are numbered and named). This is a BRIGHT pink creme. I've heard true neons dry matte? If that's the case then this is not. In all these pics on my middle finger I have just the polish alone, and on all other fingers I have a white base down first. In all pics I used 3 coats of color.  I've seen that a lot of times with neons a white base is needed to really make the colors pop but I wanted to show them both ways.

Next is twenty three, Yellow. Points for an original name, right? WOW this is SUPER BRIGHT!!! So much so I sent a pic to my husband when I was swatching these and was like WOWZA BRIGHT!

Next is twenty eight, Radioactive. This is the only one of the bunch that dried matte. Which is funny because  the only neon I have is in this same color family, and it dries matte too!

Last is fifty three, Pacific hoot. This is my favorite, no surprise, right!

I wanted to create some nail art with these, so I did my old standby dots. I was originally going to do dots all over the whole nail but got half way and was happy so I stopped!

 Then I added matte topcoat, of course!
