Summer Fun Challenge - Day 2

On to my second mani of the day :)

This is part of the Summer Fun Challenge started by Lindsey of Neverland Nail Blog. The titles of this one is "Summer Lovin'" So for the summer part I went with neon colours and the love part had to be hearts really :)

My camera refused to take a decent colour matching photo of this but oh well. The base was Neon Lime from Kleancolor, which is a really pale neon green and I used Konad's Neon Pink to stamp the hearts on and their Neon Green to dot with. It looked better under my uv lamp.

I've been really liking neons lately but I didn't like this mani at all, its so not me :) Also when I went in the bath the neon colours darkened a little which is strange.

Color Club All About Color Set with Neons!

I picked up this and a few other sets in my local TK Maxx shop for a whole £9.99 for 7 polishes. 4 of them glow nicely under UV light.

I tried them all out, all of them needed 2 coats and dried fairly quickly. For the neons I used a white base coat as this seems to be better than trying to get them to be opaque on their own and it makes the colour nice and bright.

Here is the orange under a UV light:

The pink is slight darker and more neon in real life.

I, for some reason, only did one coat of the purple, which is a shame. Its a really nice purple and looks less blue tinged in real life, I think it'd make a nice gradient mani with one of the neon pinks.

I really liked this green, its minty and it still glows a little under the UV light.

This is slightly more purple and slightly darker in real life
