China Glaze Poolside Collection

Gave you this sneak peek a few days ago. On to the swatches…

Neons are a bit difficult to capture in photos so all of these will be BRIGHTER in real life :D

Towel Boy Toy

Kiwi Coolada

Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Sun Worshiper

Flip Flop Fantasy

Pool Party

I think Poolside was the perfect name for this collection because I can so picture myself wearing these by the poolside. I love a bright mani and pedicure in the Summer. Towel Boy Toy looks like pool water on my fingertips! Flip Flop Fantasy is another favorite of mine because I love the coral color. All of these will look amazing on tan skin, not that I condone “sun worshiping”.

As far as application goes with these, all neons take patience. Yellow Polka Dot Bikini gave me the most trouble. The best way to get even coverage with these is to do a few thin coats. Luckily neons dry pretty quickly so doing 3-4 thin coats isn’t so bad. Second, neons dry sort of matte, so I added a top coat of Seche Vite on top. This also helps make the color more even and gets rid of streaks, which are common in neons.

Hope you guys like these! I don’t have an exact release date for these yet but I would expect them to start hitting stores in April.

    Flip Flop Fantasy is my fave too! Some of the colors I would only wear as a pedicure. These will attract attention, that’s for sure :)

    My favorite polish of 2009 was a neon (Essie Funky Limelight) and I got compliments on it every single time I wore it. And I’m far past my teenage years ;)

    There’s a time and a place for neons. This Summer it’s the poolside.
