Swatch Tuesday! Polish Me To Go Neon Glow Polish Review

Hello Lovelies!  I’m back for a quick Swatch Tuesday post!  Today I’ll be reviewing some awesome matte neon glow polishes from Polish Me To Go.

Such cute packaging! :)

First up is Lucky Me, a vivid neon green.  I did two thin coats over a White Undie polish that was included. As with all neons, you need a white base to make the color really pop.  It has a bit of a speckle effect that I think is really unique.  No tops on this so you can see how the matte effect is.

Just look at that glow!  This is by far the brightest glow polish I own.  This was after about 45 seconds under a light bulb.

Like I said, this is a matte polish (like most neons), so dry time was pretty quick.  There were no issues with application.  The formula was thinner than most mattes I have, but I like that.  I find most matte polish gets chunky and streaky before I can even get it to the tip of  my nail.  I did not have that problem with this polish.

Next I have Pretty Girls, an intense neon pink.   Again I did two coats over the White Undie.  No topcoat.

This one takes a little longer to charge up.  I held my hand under a light for about a minute and a half.  I had to shake this one up for a good while to get the glowy stuff mixed well (see below; the glow pigment looks like it settled to the bottom).

Yummy bottle shots; some settling on the pink glow.
Shake well!

Pretty Girls is most definitely my favorite.  I’ve been searching for a pink glow polish since I found out about glow polish!  lol and it did not disappoint. 

Check out Polish Me To Go’s shop where full size bottles go for $8, or you can pick up the whole matte neon glow mini set (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) for $16.  Pastel glow polish options are also available.  Great variety of products!

I got a little nail art bug in me this weekend, so I did a full mani with these colors :)

I used the White Undie as the base, Pretty Girls and Lucky Me then did some leopard spots with Color Club Harp On It and Sally Hansen Onyx.  I topped with Seche Vite.

Swatch Tuesday! Julep * Ava & Bette - January Bombshell Box

Hello lovelies!  Today I have the Julep Maven January Box.  The theme this month was Nude & Neon.  My normal box style is American Beauty, but I didn't really like the orange neon they offered, so I switched to the Bombshell style because I really liked the purple.

Julep Bette and Ava

The nude selection was a pretty polish called Ava.  It's a very light frosty pink.  Went on perfect in two coats, no application issues.  Dry time was normal.

The neon in January's box is a sheer purple jelly polish called Bette.  Julep describes this a "creme", but I am going to disagree.  It is definitely not a creme in my definition of the word.  It went on nicely.  As you see, I used it with various undies/no undies combos.

Like I've found with most neons, dry time was fast and it dried semi-matte.  The pictures shown have no topcoat.  There is some sheen, but not as much as a normal polish, but it's not as matte as a matte polish.

I thought the neon would be much more in-yo-face!-where's-my-sunglasses?-blam!! neon, but it really wasn't.  The color shown is pretty much how it looks in person.
