Highlighter Green

Can you spot a theme here?  I decided to try out another of the Barry M LE Summer Neon collection, this time the green from Superdrug.

 
This one was VERY sheer, these pictures are two coats over a white base and they look pretty patchy, I even went over a few with a thicker coat the second time around but they could still really do with a third to make them properly opaque and even all over.

 
The colour is nice; bright and zingy with a definite hint of neon but it doesn't quite have the lurid, garish hue (I mean this in a good way ;)) of the yellow and darker pink I've posted recently.  It's more on a par with the lighter pink I used as an accent nail, bright but not full in your face neon.

 
I'm tempted to try adding another couple of coats over this before I take it off, just to see if it gets more even and bright then, but chances are something else will take my fancy before I bother.

Highlighter Pink

I was so taken with my highlighter yellow nails from the other day I couldn't help but continue the theme, this time using two pink polishes from Barry M.  Both are from the Limited Edition collection released for summer 2013, the darker pink is the Boots LE and the lighter one I used as an accent nail is from Superdrug. they're both still available now.

Both colours are two coats over a white base, with an accent stamp done in Pomegranate from the Barry m Gelly Hi-Shine range.


Although I like both shades, the darker of the two is definitely the winner for me, it is so bright and neon, perfect for summer, in fact I think I am going to do my toes in it tonight.
