Happy Victoria Day everyone! I'm having some folks over for lunch today and thought to share a quick nail post with you before.

Pink Plumeria is my nail polish of choice for this long weekend. This polish was released with China Glaze Summer Neon collection. I would describe Pink Plumeria as a warm pink, it looks like it has peach undertones to it. This is a fairly unique shade to my stash and I'm happy I got it:

The formula on this was great. I did two coats to achieve the shade of the bottle. I've had this on for a couple of days and there has not been any wear and chipping mark. I never wear any polish for more than two days so can't really comment of wear for more than this time frame. As with all neons, Pink Plumeria needs a shiny top coat to really shine. I would not say this is a blinding kinda neon though, it's bright but not loud and should look good on pretty much everyone:

Have you guys bought any of the new China Glaze Neons? What are some of your favoutite neon shades?

Hey beauties! I love wearing neon polishes in the summer. Each year I grab a few of the latest neon releases and rock them on as long as my summer tan lasts.

I happened to pass by a Chatters Salon here in Ottawa and noticed they already had the China Glaze summer (neons) collection in. I was surprised coz I haven't seen any reviews of these polishes so I assumed they are not out yet.

They were even sold out of at least half of the shades. I bought three that were most unique to my collection:

Pink Plumeria is a warm pink, it's kinda in between peach and pink. Bold and sophisticated.
I'm with the Lifeguard is a neon grass green, soooo gorgeous under the sun!
Sun-kissed is a highlighter yellow. I'm planing on rocking this one on my toes.

I chose I'm with Lifeguard as the first one to wear. I took a quick picture of it before heading out so my apologies for the messy cuticles. The formula was great and only needed two medium coats:

Will you be grabbing any neon polishes this summer?

Pink Flame by Color Club is my go to neon shade. I would say this is not as neon as some of the other Color Clubs that I have but it's definitely the most flattering shade on me when it comes to neon. It's a very cool toned bright pink and looks gorgeous under sunlight and even at night. I find it kinda glows! As it's usual with neon polishes, I think Pink Flame also looks best with a shiny coat on top. This is two coats:

I'm pretty sure I've reviewed and swatched this Color Club neon shade last summer. However, the original swatch wasn't that great so here it is again. I love wearing neons in the summer and Pink Rush is my fave neon shade hands down! It's a glowy red toned fuchsia and oh so seriously hot! I prefer my neons shiny so I added a layer of OPI top coat to this. Two layers achieves perfect finish:

Do any of your guys have this polish? What do you think of it?
