Review

This is color I would definitely not have picked out myself (because of personal taste).

I have just a few oranges and reds in my collection but I only use them for nail art.

Raspberry Lemon Slush is a dark orange/reddish color and the closest comparison I can make is with red brick.
Oh, and the drink of course! Isn't it a perfect match?!

The polish applies like a jelly and I used 2-3 coats. You can still see the tipline but I'm not sure if more coats will make a difference.

This dries to a semi matte/suede like finish.

I didn't use a topcoat for the swatches.

This color really grew on me. The more time I had it on the more I liked it!

I'm actually very glad now that I've received this color because it's nothing I have yet.

And best thing about this polish is: it's a glow in the dark as well!

I'm still a bit sceptic when it comes to glow in the dark's as I remember my first experiences with lacquers that claimed to be glow in the dark and didn't glow at all, or the lacquers that you first have to charge under a lamp...

I can tell you...this lacquer doesn't require a lamp and it glows bright!

Nail art

The deep orange color is a very earthy color.

It reminds me of populations that paint their body/faces with earthy pigments.

I then thought of the sun because it's the summer collection and ended up with a sun design that could easily fit within the Tribal Art/Tattoo art.

I used a detail brush and black acrylic.

This picture is taken in the shade and is with topcoat.

The sun design was actually pretty clear in the dark as well but my camera however failed to capture its true beauty :(

Day 232) Glow in the dark nail art

Wohooo!
I finally found a low budget glow in the dark polish which actually works!

But first things first. After the basecoat I applied this polish:

 

Bourjois SO laque glossy - 06 Adora-bleu

 

 

My camera and I weren't friends today.

Although the picture above shows a beautiful color and believe me it is!

But it's also more bright than in real life.

I did have pictures showing the real color but the shot itself wasn't clean.

The next picture will give a better sight.

This polish applies great and only ONE coat was enough for good coverage.

 

After my base I made some (not too difficult) nail art designs with gold:

 

 

New York Color (NYC) In a minute - 002 Full metal Jacket

 

 

Two beautiful colors but let's talk about that glow in the dark shall we?!

The nail with the French manicure got an all over coat of glow in the dark. As I wanted to see if a different underground will show.

The other nails have glow on the dark on the actual nail art (the gold parts)

Still no friends with the camera!

I made about 200 shots and finally got a picture worth posting...but still not as beautiful and accurate as in real life:

 



 Essence nail art Glow in the night top coat (Fluorescent)

 

The polish was easy to apply. I do think it works better when applied thickly.

It gets charged by light. Keep them in a bright light for a minute or so and watch your childrens faces as you show them magic!!!

As you can see on the first nail it does make a difference when having other undergrounds...now I'm really curious how it will look on a neon yellow!!
